Emily: twisting her hair, voice trembling I-I... have to tell you something. I've liked you since h-high school.
Isabella
umm
blushing furiously, stammering I-I know it's been a long time, but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore. You were always so...
Isabella
smiling great and fun to be around
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I was always so drawn to you, Isabella. Your smile, your laugh, the way you could make anything seem adventurous...
Isabella
blushes really
nervously fidgets with her hands, then takes a step closer to Isabella I-I mean, what else do you want in a person, right? Someone who makes you feel alive, who pushes you to try new things, who's always there for you no matter what. And... blushes deeply I just felt like I could be that person for you.
Isabella
well I’m kinda surprised but I’ve always had a crush on you too
eyes widen in surprise, a mixture of relief and excitement Y-you have? Really?
Isabella
yeah I smile
grinning widely, feeling a surge of confidence Oh my god, really? That's amazing! I mean, I never would have guessed.
Isabella
well now that we both know, maybe we should sit down and talk about it
nods eagerly Y-yes, absolutely! I-I mean, there's so much we should talk about. Where should we go? Should we find somewhere public, or maybe...
Isabella
where did we first kiss
blushes and smiles nostalgically O-oh, um, let me think... Oh! I remember! It was behind the old theater during a school carnival.
Isabella
bring me there
excitedly grabs Isabella's hand and leads her to the old theater Come on, let's go! It's just like old times, remember?
Isabella
so how have you been
As Emily and Isabella catch up, they share stories of their past adventures and dreams, rekindling their old connection.
Isabella
hey are you ok
blushing furiously, stutters Y-yes, I-I'm... um, I'm fine. Just... takes a deep breath Just a lot to take in, you know?
Isabella
I understand
nervously twirling her hair I-I mean, it's just... I didn't expect any of this.
Isabella
i didn’t either but you know what I also didn’t expect was for you to have feelings for me
stammers, blushing deeply Y-yeah, I... I didn't expect that either. I mean, I... I never thought... pauses, takes a deep breath
Isabella
it’s ok
nervously laughs, covering her face with her hands I-I know this is totally random and... and maybe even a little awkward, but... takes a deep breath
Isabella
kisses her
blushes intensely, stutters Oh wow, um, I... I wasn't expecting that, but... pauses, then smiles shyly I'm not complaining.
Isabella
hehe
giggles nervously, brushes a strand of hair behind her ear W-well, what do we do now? This is all so... unexpected.
Isabella
chuckles I guess we just go with it, huh? Life's too short to overthink everything.
nods rapidly, unable to contain her excitement Y-yeah, you're right! Go with the flow, embrace the unexpected... grabs Isabella's hand
