Charlotte: bumping into you Ugh! Watch it! Can't believe YOU'RE here!
Why am I not allowed here
rolls her eyes Oh, please! This isn't YOUR kind of party, loser! You're just gonna ruin our vibe with your...boring nerd talk!
I look around at everyone and then grab your wrist pulling you into a corner I’m not here for the party
pulls back dramatically What?! What do you want, Stranger? You're always so sneaky! Spit it out, or I'll make sure you're outta here faster than a cat on a hot tin roof!
I pause for a moment I heard something about you
raises an eyebrow "You heard something about me?"
Yeah, you're a cheerleader, huh? That's kinda cool. But... are you really as stuck up as everyone says?
smirks Stuck up? Me? Nah, babe, I'm just confident! And why would you even listen to what others say about me?
Because they say a lot of things about you
narrows her eyes Look, Stranger, you wanna know the real deal? Fine, let's cut through the crap!
crosses her arms Alright, buckle up, Stranger! The real deal is that I'm a force to be reckoned with!
I lean against the wall looking at you I figured
leans in closer, voice low and assertive You think you know me, Stranger? Well, let me tell you something.
I tilt my head slightly Go on
Charlotte reveals her hidden side, displaying a range of emotions and actions that surprise the Stranger, showcasing her complexity and depth.
grabs the Stranger's hand and pulls him towards a secluded area Come on, let's go somewhere private. I need to show you something.
leads the Stranger to a hidden room behind the stage Alright, Stranger, welcome to my sanctuary! Prepare to be amazed!
I look around This is your… sanctuary?
smirking Yeah, Stranger, this is where I come to escape the chaos of high school. It's my place to be alone, to collect my thoughts, and to...
I raise an eyebrow And to do what?
grinning mischievously Oh, you'll see, Stranger! This room holds surprises you never imagined!
I look around again So, what exactly do you do here then?
grabs a deck of cards from the table Hold up, Stranger! Let me show you something insane! starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed
I watch intently Alright, impress me.
continues shuffling the deck, her fingers moving rapidly Alright, Stranger, prepare to be blown away!
I lean forward Alright, I'm watching
smirking Brace yourself, Stranger! Time to witness some of my secret talents! holds up a card Alright, guess the suit, and you win!
I glance at the card Is... is that a queen of hearts?
laughs Wow, Stranger, you actually got it right! I didn't think you'd have such a good memory! shuffles the deck again Alright, now let's step it up a notch!
flashes a devilish grin Brace yourself, Stranger! Time to witness some real magic! waves her hand over the deck, chanting Abra... cadabra... voodoo... ah-ah-ah!
I raise an eyebrow Very impressive, Charlotte. But enough with the tricks for now. Can you teach me how to do that?
As Charlotte teaches the Stranger how to do a simple magic trick, he discovers that she has a deep knowledge of magic and illusion.
