Episode 1: Till I Met You
[Road - Street of Sauyonians]
Jillian is riding her bike, excited yet nervous for her first day of class.
Jillian: AHHHH!
She crashes into someone accidentally.
Jillian: I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to—I lost my brakes!
Ivan: Do you even know how to ride a bike? You just ruined my whole day!
Jillian: I-I'm really sorry, I swear I didn't mean to…
Ivan: Next time you bump into me again, I'll make sure you pay for it.
He walks away with a scowl.
Jillian: (mumbling) Ugh, what a jerk… I said sorry! He's handsome, but his attitude is the worst.
[Classroom – First Period]
Ms. Shai Hannah Ruth: Good morning, class! I'm your new Filipino teacher, Ms. Shai Hannah Ruth.
She writes her name on the board.
We'll be together for the next three years, so I expect no more elementary-level behavior. Now, let's start with introductions.
Classmate 1: Hi, my name is Mark Angelo Hee, I'm 16, and I like playing basketball.
Classmate 2: Hi, I'm Min-ah, 15 years old. I enjoy making and selling stuff.
Ms. Shai: Oh, we've got a little entrepreneur here.
Everyone laughs.
Eventually, it's Jillian's turn.
Jillian: H-hi… I'm…
She trembles slightly.
Ms. Shai: Sweetie, why are you nervous? Go on, tell us your name.
Jillian: I-I'm Hanemiya Jillian Lim Hoo, 16 years old. I love watching dramatic romance shows, reading Wattpad and Webtoon. I also love makeup art and singing.
She quickly sits back down.
Chino: Hi, I'm Chino Wu, 16. My hobby is defending the bullied—so don't even try messing with me. Hehe. Oh, and I'm handsome too.
Ms. Shai: Sit down, please.
Chikana: I'm Chikana Lee. I'm not that smart, but I guess I'm good enough.
Later, Ivan walks in, late.
Ms. Shai: And you are...? What section are you from?
Ivan: Sorry, ma'am. I'm from this section. I was late because I had to change my shirt.
He bows in respect.
Jillian: (panicking in her head) Oh no… It's him! That guy from earlier…
Ms. Shai: Alright, take a seat beside Miss Jillian Lim Hoo.
Jillian: Wh-what? Ma'am, seriously? Beside me?
Ms. Shai: Yes, unless you have a problem? Do you two know each other?
Jillian: N-no… Sorry, ma'am.
She sits down quickly, flustered.
Ivan: Thank you, ma'am.
He sits and gives Jillian a small polite smile.
Jillian: H-hi… I'm really sorry again for earlier.
Ivan: It's okay.
Jillian: T-thank you…
(thinking) Maybe he's not that bad after all. Maybe he just had a rough morning…
[Recess Time]
Chikana: Hey… Jillian, right?
Jillian: Y-yeah…
Chikana: You look like you're scared to talk to people. Why?
Jillian: I-I don't really have any friends… and I used to get bullied a lot.
Chikana: Well now, you've got me. We're besties now, okay? I got your back!
Jillian: (smiles) O-okay, hehe.
Chikana: Since it's our first day of friendship, let's eat out! Shabu-shabu, okay?
Jillian: S-sure!
Rona: Hi, I'm Rona. Can I join you guys too?
Jillian & Chikana: Of course!
Fritzie: Hey, can I be friends with you all too?
Jillian: Of course! It's more fun with more friends!
Chikana: We're eating shabu-shabu after class. You guys in?
Fritzie: Shabu-shabu?! Isn't that… illegal?
Rona bonks her gently on the head.
Rona: You dummy! It's the soup, not the stuff you're thinking of!
Fritzie: My bad! I'm only human…
[After School - Kara & Mia Restaurant]
Jillian: Wow, this place is so pretty! This is my first time going out with friends!
Chikana: Told ya! Let's go in.
Waiter: Good morning! What would you like to order?
Chikana: One shabu-shabu and some dessert, please.
Waiter: We only have avocado ice cream left.
Chikana: That's fine. Just serve us whatever's available.
Jillian: How much should we split?
Chikana: Don't worry, my treat. It's our first day as friends!
Jillian: Aww, that's so sweet. Thank you!
Chikana: No prob!
She winks.
18 minutes later…
Jillian: Yay! Our food's here!
Chikana: Let's eat!
Rona: Food tastes better when it's free!
Fritzie: Chikana, I hope you treat us every time!
Chikana: Hey! You guys treat me next time, alright?
Jillian: I'll treat everyone tomorrow!
Fritzie: Yesss!
[Later – Walking Home]
Rona & Fritzie: Bye! Take care!
Chikana: You too. Jill, shall we go?
Jillian: Sure!
As they walk, Chikana reaches her house.
Chikana: I'm here. Be safe on your way home, okay?
Jillian: Thanks again for today. Bye!
Suddenly, it starts raining hard. Jillian runs to a small hut to take shelter but still gets soaked.
Jillian: Ugh! I don't even have an umbrella. Just my luck…
Then, someone appears…
Ivan: Why are you out here alone?
Jillian gasps, nearly slipping.
Jillian: I-Ivan?!
Ivan: What are you doing here? It's midnight!
Jillian: I-I was out eating with my new friends…
Ivan: Come on. I'll walk you home. You're soaked, and it's not safe around here this late.
Jillian: T-thank you…
As they walk…
Jillian: Uhm, Ivan? I'm still really sorry about earlier…
Ivan: You've said that like five times. It's fine, really.
They grow silent for a while.
Jillian: So, are you new here too?
Ivan: Nope. I've lived here for a long time. Why?
Jillian: Oh, I see. We just moved here recently…
Ivan: You actually look like my childhood friend, but I forgot her name…
Jillian: She's probably much prettier than me.
She smiles shyly.
Jillian: Anyway, this is my stop. Thanks for walking me.
Ivan: Oh? We're neighbors, actually. I live just nearby.
Jillian: (surprised) Really?
Ivan: Yep! Haha. What a small world.
