Echoes of the Past

― INT. MELTERSPOT HIGH SCHOOL

Mon walks through the bustling corridors of Melterspot High, her eyes scanning the crowd until they land on Sam, who leans against a locker with an unreadable expression. Mon approaches, but Sam turns away, her demeanor as cold as ever. Mon tentatively asks, "Hey, Sam. I was wondering if you'd like to join me for lunch?" And I guess it's quite easy to guess Sam's answer, " I eat alone."

Mon's face falls, but she doesn't give up. She nods," Maybe some other time, then." a determined glint in her eyes.

As Mon walks away, Sam's gaze lingers on her retreating figure, a flicker of something soft in her eyes before she masks it with indifference.

It was seen, Mon sits on a bench, her lunch forgotten beside her. She watches children play, their laughter a stark contrast to the silence she's met with from Sam.

A glimpse of the past of Young Sam hides under a table, her small hands covering her ears as shouts echo around her. The scene is chaotic, a family argument in full swing, and Sam's eyes are wide with fear.

At present, Mon's thoughts are interrupted by a text message. It's from an unknown number, and it reads:

"Keep trying. She needs you more than she knows."

Mon looks around, puzzled. Who could know about her attempts to befriend Sam?

Later on, Sam sits alone at a table, her books spread out before her. She's focused, her pen flying across the page until she's startled by a shadow falling over her work.. A faded voice comes from behind, "Mind if I join you?"

Sam's eyes flash with annoyance, then resignation. "Do what you want."

As they study in silence, Mon sneaks glances at Sam, trying to understand the enigma before her.

The scene then cuts short to the gym where it is loud, the sound of basketballs and sneakers squeaking on the floor. Mon plays with a group of students, her laughter filling the space. Sam watches from the bleachers, her expression unreadable.

The final bell rings, and students flood the halls. Mon finds Sam at her locker and musters her courage, "Sam, I don't know what you're going through, but I'm here if you need someone to talk to."

Sam's facade cracks for a moment, and she looks at Mon, really looks at her, and for the first time, Mon sees the pain in her eyes. The voice of Sam whispers in Mon's ears, "Why do you even care?"

Before Mon can answer, Sam slams her locker shut and storms off, leaving Mon alone in the crowded hallway.

The final scene ends with Mon standing in the hallway, her concern for Sam growing. She's determined to break through Sam's walls, but she's also starting to realize that Sam's past is more complicated than she thought.

Stay tuned for the next episode, where secrets would unravel, and hearts would tangle even further. Would Sam finally talk about her past? Or their destiny remains as strangers. 🌸❤️
