On a sunny spring day, in a quiet city park located in Chiang Mai, trees stretched throughout the park formed pink tunnel that displayed a beautiful landscape.

The floor was sprinkled with cherry blossoms petals that created a delicate and fragrant natural carpet. The air was filled with sweet scent of flowers, while butterflies and birds flew freely among the branches.

Anda, a little girl with brownish hair and bright eyes, was sitting on a bench, calmly drawing in her notebook completely immersed in her own world.

Meanwhile, Atom, a little girl with dark hair and a mischievous expression was running through the park, chasing butterflies and causing a fuss wherever she went.

Her quick steps and loud voice drew the attention of the other kids around her, including Anda who casually looked at her with a judgemental stare. The other kid seemed too loud and hyper.

Intrigued, Atom decided to get closer and see what was happening. With small steps, Atom approached Anda, where she could see her serious expression as she drew.

"Hey kiddo, what are you doing there, are you scared of the other kids?" asked Atom, her voice filled with disdain as she approached Anda.

Anda looked up, staring at Atom with an annoyed expression. "I'm drawing. What are you doing, causing a mess all over the park?"

Atom crossed her arms and looked at the girl daring.

"I'm having fun, something you clearly don't know how to do."

Atom's words hit Anda hard, awakening a flame of anger within her.

"At least I know how to behave and I don't disturb others like you," she retorted, her voice filled with hostility.

And so, amid exchanges of insults and furious looks at each other, Anda and Atom's first encounter was marked by an intense atmosphere.

As Atom and Anda exchanged sharp words, the tension between them hung in the air of the park, as if they were in the middle of a battle of a war.

With a challenging look, Atom looked at the younger girl and asked.

"Do you really think drawing is fun? Except if you like sitting alone. Without doing anything interesting."

"For me, yes. And I'd rather do that than cause a ruckus like you." Anda snapped back with a firm voice.

The exchange of words continued, further fueling the chaos between them. It seemed like the two kids would never find common ground to understand each other.

Before she could say anything else, a group of mean girls around their age approached Anda's bench. Their evil laughter piercing the air.

"Look what we have here, the nerd and her quarrelsome friend. What are they up to?" teased one of them.

Without waiting for a response, one of the girls grabbed the drawings and began tearing them into pieces, while the others laughed and mocked.

"No! Please stop!" begged Anda as she kneeled down to catch the damaged drawings.

Atom watched the scene with a disapproval expression. She felt a growing fury within her.

"Enough! You have no right to do this to her!" she shouted.

Her voice echoed through the park, full of authority and determination. The mean girls, surprised by the sudden change of mood, took a step back.

"Who do you think you are to tell us what to do?" asked one of them.
