Twisted Hearts Episode 3 : Fire and Ice

Episode 3 : Fire and Ice

Scene 1 – The Target Next morning. Ella walked into class, determined to ignore Raven. But Raven? He had other plans.

As she sat, Raven suddenly snatched her notebook from her desk.

Ella

(snapping): “Give it back, Raven!”

Raven

(holding the notebook high, smirking): “Hmm… let’s see what secrets the new girl hides in here. Maybe love poems?”

Ella

(jumping, trying to reach it): “Stop it! That’s mine!”

The class watched, amused.

Raven tilted the notebook away each time she tried. She stood on her toes, stretching—when suddenly her foot slipped.

She stumbled—straight into Raven’s chest.

Scene freezes. Ella’s hands pressed against him, Raven’s arm instinctively circling her waist.

For a split second, his smirk vanished. His heart skipped. Her scent, her warmth—too close.

Ella

(blushing, breathless): “L-Let go!”

Raven blinked, snapped out of it, and pushed her back roughly. He tossed the notebook onto her desk.

Raven

(gruffly, almost nervous): “Tch… don’t get in my way.”

He turned and walked off quickly, leaving Ella fuming.

Scene 2 – The Girls’ Whisper Jinshi hurried to Ella, whispering.

Jinshi

(worried): “See? I told you! He’s playing with you. Don’t fall into his trap.”

Ella

(clutching her notebook, muttering): “He’s the worst… But… why did he… hold me like that?”

Her cheeks burned. She shook her head furiously.

Scene 3 – The Corridor Game Later that day, in the corridor, Raven deliberately blocked her path.

Raven

(leaning against the wall): “Careful, newbie. You might get lost in this big school.”

Ella

(rolling eyes): “Or maybe you just don’t have anything better to do than annoy me.”

Raven chuckled. He leaned down slightly, close enough that Ella felt his breath.

Raven

(low voice): “You’re bold, I’ll give you that. But boldness has a price here.”

Ella glared, her heart racing, but she refused to step back.

Ella

“I’m not afraid of you, Raven.”

For a heartbeat, their eyes locked—fire against ice. And for the first time, Raven’s smirk softened into something unreadable.

He straightened, brushing past her with a whisper.

Raven

“We’ll see…”

Ella stood frozen, clutching her books, cheeks pink.
