Are You My Fate?
Episode 1
Aahna
(Senior year... it's hard to believe.)
Name : Aahna Mehra
Age : 17 years old
High school student!
Daughter of billionaire Mr. Mehra
As Aahna stared at the high school, a hand clapped on her shoulder and she jumped.
Keith
Hey, what's with you?
Name : Keith
Friend and classmate
Age : 18
Height : 6'0
Outgoing, ambitious, compassionate.
Son of billionaire
He gave Aahna a playful shove.
Keith
You were staring at the school like it was putting you in a trance.
Aahna
It's our senior year!
He staggered backward in imaginary shock.
Keith
This is too much for me to take!
Aahna
Come on, you don't feel any nostalgia or anything?
Aahna
This is the last year we'll ever walk through those doors!
Keith
We could always fail our final exams!
Aahna
Keith I donno believe I and you are friends for years.
Keith
Are you going to do this every morning until we graduate?
Aahna
It's our senior year!
Keith
You keep reminding me.
Keith
Now let's go inside and stare at the classrooms for a while.
Darren (Classmate)
Ooh, here come the lovebirds!
Aahna
(I don't know why there's a running joke among our class that Keith and I were boyfriend and girlfriend.)
Aahna
(Just because we spent a lot of time together..?)
Aahna
(This bloody damn..)
Keith
Hey, we're just friends and you know it!
Darren (Classmate)
Uh-huh, sure.
Aahna
Don't worry about it.
He fell silent and sat down.
Aahna
(They've made those jokes before. Why would it bother him?)
Aahna
(Never mind let's focus)
As Aahna headed down the hall toward her first class, something made her pause.
Aahna
(Ow.. why the back of my neck prickled, almost like someone was watching me?)
Aahna turned around, but no one looked at her.
Aahna
(Probably just Keith before he left for class.)
Aahna
(Well.. I should better hurry up. Or I might get late for class)
Aahna
(Math is my first class this year.)
Aahna was never very fond of math... unlike a certain someone she knew.
Name : Tobias Grayson
Age : 18
Height : 6'0
Quit, studious, quick-thinking.
Only son of billionaire Mr. Grayson
Aahna
(In addition to liking math, Tobias could act very formal. even in classroom)
Aahna
Are you excited for our senior year?
Tobias
I expect it to be very fruitful and informative.
Tobias
Will you be signing up for the board games club again?
Aahna
Of course. How could I pass up a chance to beat you at it?
Tobias
I thought perhaps you wanted to avoid another crushing defeat.
Aahna
Uh-huh. You're going to beat me that badly?
Erica
Aw, leave her alone, Tobias.
Name : Erica
Classmate
Age : 17
Tobias and Aahna met gazes and smiled.
While their classmates thought Keith and Aahna was a couple, They had the mistaken impression that Tobias and Aahna were mortal enemies.
Aahna could only guess why they thought we always sat together in class
This was just Tobias's affection...
Episode 2
This was just Tobias's way of showing affection... and he wasn't nearly as arrogant as he sounded.
It was all part of the game.
Tobias
Did your home room teacher tell you about our librarian Ms. Peter?
Aahna
Is there something important?
Tobias
She resigned or what I don't know but she won't be our librarian for some time
Tobias
We got a new librarian. Teacher said it's temporary
Aahna
I will miss.. Ms. Peter.
Tobias
After class, would you like to meet the temporary librarian?
Tobias
I hope Ms. Peter is all right...
For the first day, we reviewed old material to prepare for this term.
Tobias
I was waiting.. for it to end.
Tobias
I'm only as weird as the company I keep my dear.
Aahna
Ready to go to the library?
Tobias
I can even go to hell with you.
Aahna
Don't worry I won't go without you.
Aahna
Now let's go. Mr. Weirdo.
Aahna
(The library is darker than I remember it.)
Aahna
(All of the shades are draw, and the lights are dimmed.)
Aahna
(It didn't look like any sort of presentation was going on, though.)
Aahna
The new librarian must like it dark.
Suddenly a hand landed on Aahna's shoulder making her flinch
Aahna
(She somehow snuck up on us!)
Tobias
May I please know your name?
Librarian
Me?... You may call me Miss Wang.
Aahna
Pleased to meet you.
Miss Wang
Likewise. You're both serious.
Aahna
-Whispers- Tobias.. How did she know..?
Tobias
I'm Tobias, and this is Aahna.
Tobias
We should leave, or we'll be late for class.
Aahna
Right! Good to meet you, Miss Wang!
Tobias
She had an odd look in her eyes.
Aahna
You are just too sensitive.
Aahna
We better get back to class.
Tobias
Ah, yes. I'll see you at lunch.
Aahna
-sat down with them-
Keith
Yep! I only wish we had more classes together.
Tobias
I wish the three of us had a class together, just one year.
Aahna
Me too Toby. But we never will, because it's--
Keith leaned close to Tobias and spoke in a stage whisper.
Keith
It's an obsession with her.
Tobias
She's right, though.
Tobias looked up from his lunch and held up both of Keith and Aahna's gazes.
When Tobias looks at Aahna
Aahna
(The force of your gaze is enough to freeze me in place.)
Tobias
This is our final year together.
Tobias
We should make most of it.
Keith
Aw, come on man, we can stay in touch after graduation!
But Keith reached out nd took Tobias's hand anyway.
Aahna placed her hand on top of theirs
Aahna
We'll make sure it's a semester to remember.
Aahna had no idea how true her statement would turn out to be.
