I Trust You
Little Thoughts
Mei Lu
What if no one likes me there?
*puts head in her hands and shakes her head*
Mei Lu
Maybe I should have just stayed at my old school. At least I would have friends there..
Mei Lu’s Mother
Don’t think like that, Lu. You are so sweet, there would be no reason for anyone not to like you. I’m sure you will make plenty of friends.
Mei Wen
Ma’s right, Mei Mei. You’re going to be fine. Plus, I’ll just be two years above you so if you need anything, I’ll be there.
Mei Wen is Mei Lu’s older sister, they are very close and share everything with each other.
Mei Lu
Thanks Ma, thanks Jie. I suppose you’re right.
*Mei Lu still thought she was going to feel out of place at her new school but she didn’t say anything because her mother and sister seemed so keen on her being happy to go*
Mei Lu’s Mother
Let’s leave now.
Mei Lu’s Mother
Or the both of you will be late to school on your first day.
Mei Wen
*whispers to Mei Lu* Are you really okay?
Mei Lu
Yes. Thank you for caring though.
*Mei Lu tries to fake a smile and looks out the window of the car*
Mei Wen knows Mei Lu is lying but she doesn’t want to annoy her so she simply leaves the situation alone.
They spend the rest of the car ride in silence.
Getting Started
They arrive at the new school
Mei Wen
*jumps out of the car and gazes at the building in awe* This is amazing!! 🤩
Mei Lu
*steps out of the car* It does look quite nice.
Mei Wen
Quite??? It’s spectacular!
Mei Lu’s Mother
*laughs* Have fun. I’ll pick you girls up at 4pm.
Mei Lu and Mei Wen both wave goodbye to their mother and step into school
Mei Wen
I have to go to my class now.
Mei Wen
You should go too!
Mei Wen
See you later, Mei Mei!
Mei Lu walks to her class which is just on her right after a left turn.
Mei Lu
*mutters* I wish I could be as confident as her.
Mei Lu walks into the classroom
Ms Qian
Good morning, class. This is our new student, Mei Lu.
Ms Qian
I hope you all welcome her.
Jia Xin
Hi! Sit next to me! *gestures to the empty seat beside her*
Ms Qian
Very well then, take a seat next to Jia Xin. She will be your guide around the school for the next few days.
Mei Lu thanks Ms Qian and rushes over to sit next to Jia Xin.
Mei Lu
*smiles* Nice to meet you too..
Jia Xin
You’re so shy! *teases*
Mei Lu
*nervously laughs* Haha, I’m just not used to anything yet.
Ms Qian
Okay, class. Listen up.
Ms Qian
We have a new art gallery coming up and we need at least 5 submissions by the end of next week.
Ms Qian
Would any of you like to participate?
A few hands around the class raise up.
Jia Xin
Come on! This is your chance to show what you’ve got. I’ll join with you.
The both of them raise their hand up.
Ms Qian
Excellent. Come to me after school later to fill in a form.
Ms Qian
Let’s begin class.
*Out of the corner of her eye, Mei Lu sees a guy sitting at the window seat in front, daydreaming out the window.*
*He looks back and directly makes eye contact with Mei Lu.*
Mei Lu
*blushes and looks away*
Jun
*looks back out the window and smirks a little*
Noticed
Jia Xin
*pulls Mei Lu out of the room quickly* Yesss, it’s break!!
Mei Lu
*still in thought about the guy by the window* Huh?
Jia Xin
*waves hand frantically in front of Mei Lu’s face*
Jia Xin
What’s up with you? You seem really weird..
Mei Lu
*blushes and looks at the floor*
Mei Lu
It’s nothing. Let’s go.
Bai Hua
*notices Mei Lu walking with Jia Xin*
Bai Hua
Who’s that girl walking with Jia Xin?
Bai Hua
She must be new. I haven’t seen her around here before.
Yu Yin
I think so too. She’s really pretty.
Bai Hua
Do you think she’s prettier than me? *raises voice intimidatingly all of a sudden*
Yu Yin
*scared* Of course not!! You are so beautiful. She could never compare.
Yu Yin
*mumbles* Ahh, why must Bai Hua be so scary??
Bai Hua
*turns around* What did you say?
Yu Yin
*alarmed* N-nothing.
Bai Hua
*glares at Yu Yin*
Yu Yin
*thinks to herself: Wtff, how do I escape the grasp of this crazy woman.. I regret becoming her friend.. I wish the new girl all the best.*
Yu Yin
*shakes her head and sighs*
Jia Xin
OMGG!! There is so much food, I don’t know which one I should even pick! *mouth almost watering*
Jia Xin
Ahh!! I’ll just have whatever you’re having.
Mei Lu
*picks up a bento box from the counter*
Jia Xin
Ooh, okay! *grabs the exact same bento box beside it*
As they wait in line to pay, Jun is getting a drink from behind.
Jun
*sees Mei Lu and Jia Xin in front laughing*
