Before You Were Mine
Ep 1
Fiona sits quietly in the back seat of a sleek black car
Fiona Blanc
*Stares at the tall gates of “Levanter Academy” through the window*
Fiona Blanc
( First day… Let’s just graduate quietly. No drama. No attention. Just three years, and I’m gone )
Her uniform fits perfectly. Her posture is straight, but her eyes are tired
Student A
That’s Fiona? From the Blanc family?
Student B
Yeah. She’s the one they always talk about in the tabloids. Rich, reckless, cold. TCH, typical
Student A
Yeah… she was in the news again last month. Some scandal. But the family covered it up.
I heard she once threw a chair at a professor—
Student C
Shh! She’s looking this way
Fiona Blanc
*Glances briefly at them*
The girls immediately give a polite wave
Student B
Good morning, Fiona! Welcome to Levanter~
She walks past them without a word
Teacher
Class, we have a new transfer joining us. Please welcome Fiona Blanc
Some girls smile too sweetly
Fiona Blanc
I’m Fiona. I look forward to learning here. That’s all
Teacher
Take the window seat next to Aren
Fiona Blanc
*Walks down the aisle*
The boy beside the window glances up from his notebook
He’s calm, unbothered, not whispering like the rest
Fiona Blanc
( Everyone’s looking.
Not because they care…
Just waiting to see if I’ll mess up )
Fiona Blanc
*Sits down without glancing at Aren*
Chatter, laughter, clinking trays
Fiona Blanc
*Stands at the back for a moment, holding her untouched meal tray*
The seat beside a group of girls opens up, and one of them smiles and waves her over
Student C
(Fake sweet)
Fiona! Sit with us?
Student B
*Whispers*Just watch her act perfect. Let’s see how long that lasts
Fiona Blanc
*Sets the tray down quietly and walks outside instead*
Fiona sits alone, untouched lunch beside her
Fiona Blanc
*Stares up at the sky for a while*
Footsteps. A shadow stops beside her
Aren Vale
*Holds out a cold chocolate milkshake in a bottle*
Aren Vale
You didn’t eat anything
Fiona Blanc
*Stares at the milkshake*
Fiona Blanc
Don’t need pity
Aren Vale
It’s not pity. It’s chocolate
Aren Vale
I don’t know much about all these elite family rankings people talk about…
Aren Vale
But even elite people feel hungry, right?
A breath of surprise almost escapes—but she catches it
Fiona Blanc
*Slowly takes the milkshake*
Aren Vale
*Sits a short distance away on the bench*
Aren Vale
*Pulls out his notebook and writes something casually*
Fiona Blanc
( He just… gave me chocolate milk.With no fake smile....no hideen intention? )
