Scene: Schoolyard

(Jisela, a tall girl with a mocking smile and a dominant attitude, approaches Andrew, a cold and reserved boy who is sitting alone on a bench, reading. She crosses her arms and looks at him with disdain.)

Jisela: (In a sarcastic voice) "Oh, look who's here... the 'untouchable' Andrew. Is it just that no one can stand you, or do you think you're too special to blend in with the rest?"

(Andrew doesn't even look up from his book, causing Jisela to frown and take a step closer.)

Jisela: (Lowering her voice, intimidating) "Hey, do you think you're really interesting by ignoring me? Because I assure you, you're not. You're just another weirdo who thinks his silence makes him mysterious."

(Andrew slowly closes his book and looks at her with an impassive expression.)

Andrew: (Cold) "Are you done?"

Jisela: (Smiling, but mischievously) "Oh, talk! I thought you only knew how to make unfriendly faces. But hey, if you want attention, here it is. Although I don't think it's the kind of attention you were expecting."

(He leans slightly, invading her personal space.)

Jisela: (Whispering) "Or do you? Maybe you like being bothered... Could it be that cold-hearted Andrew actually enjoys it when a girl like me makes him lose that attitude?"

(Andrew keeps his gaze steady, but there's a slight glint of irritation in his eyes. Jisela smiles, pleased to have provoked some reaction.)

Jisela: (Laughing) "Well, this is starting to get fun. See you, ice prince. I'm sure this won't end here."

(He winks at him and walks away confidently, leaving Andrew with a mixture of annoyance and... curiosity?)
