Scene: MIRA'S House' EVENING - Her Point of View
NovelToon
+ MIRA'S HOUSE' ±
The late evening sun spilled across Mira's small bedroom, filtering through sheer curtains. She sat on her bed, one leg tucked under her, laptop open-but she wasn't working. She was thinking. About Scarlet. And Astrid
*MIRA'S THOUGHTS:* Scarlet had been... kind. Soft-spoken. Gentle in a way that didn't feel fake or forced. The kind of girl who apologizes when someone bumps into her. It wasn't hard to like her.
But then there was Astrid-guarded, broken, hiding behind smeared eyeliner and razor-sharp glares. Mira had seen her without all that. The divine beauty, sure-but also the pain. The tiredness. The fear
Astrid didn't trust people. Not even her own father. But she let Mira in. She didn't have to. So why would she lie

(to herself, frowning):* "She said Scarlet's not what she seems...

Scarlet didn't look like she had a manipulative bone in her body. But maybe that's the point? Mira had taken enough psych classes to know people wear masks. Even the sweet ones.
She flopped back on her bed, arms spread wide

"Ughhh... this is why I don't get involved in drama."
Still, her gut told her something was off
She remembered how Astrid had flinched when Mira complimented her bare face. The way she threw her makeup back on like armor. That wasn't vanity. That was fear.

Mira
(softly):* "She's hiding... but from who?"
Her eyes drifted to her phone. A message from Astrid sat unread:
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
"Are you okay? Eat something."
A tiny smile pulled at Mira's lips

Maybe Astrid wasn't the villain everyone thought she was
. . ... ... .. Scene: LATER THAT NIGHT - Mira's Kitchen She stood at the counter, making tea, thinking. Two girls. One story. And Mira? She was stuck somewhere in between. But she knew one thing: **"If I'm going to stay in this... I need to see the truth myself. "** She'd stay close to both of them. And eventually, the masks would fall
