(The next day after school, Chloe is in the art club, working on her painting. She’s lost in her work, the colors and strokes reflecting her emotions. Neon, who has been curious about Chloe’s artistic talent, decides to drop by and see her work. He stands at the door for a moment, watching her with a soft smile.)
Neon: Hey, Chloe. Mind if I come in?
Chloe: (looking up, surprised but pleased) Oh, hi, Neon! Sure, come on in.
Neon: I’ve been hearing a lot about your paintings. Thought I’d check it out for myself.
Chloe: Well, it’s nothing special, but I love doing it. It helps me relax.
Neon: (walking closer, examining her work) It’s beautiful. You’ve got real talent.
Chloe: Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.
(They spend some time talking about art, Chloe explaining her techniques and inspirations. Neon listens intently, genuinely interested in what she has to say.)
(A few days later, Chloe and Neon find themselves walking together in the courtyard during lunch. They talk about everything from school to their favorite movies, finding common ground and enjoying each other’s company.)
Neon: So, how are you liking Bangkok University Highschool now?
Chloe: It’s growing on me. I was really nervous at first, but having friends like you guys has made all the difference.
Neon: I’m glad to hear that. You’re a great addition to our group.
Chloe: (blushing slightly) Thanks, Neon. That means a lot.
(They sit on a bench under a tree, enjoying the warm weather and each other’s presence. Neon notices a smudge in of paint on Chloe’s cheek and gently wipes it away with his thumb.)
Neon: You had a little paint there.
Chloe: (laughing) I always get paint everywhere. It’s part of the creative process, I guess.
Neon: (smiling) It’s cute. Makes you look like a real artist.
(They share a moment of comfortable silence, their connection growing stronger.)
The Basketball Tournament Preparations
(The school is abuzz with excitement for the upcoming basketball tournament. Chloe and Neon find themselves spending more time together as they help set up the gym for the event. They work side by side, arranging seating and hanging banners.)
Neon: So, who’s your cheer squad for the tournament?
Chloe: (shrugging) I don’t have one yet. I was thinking of cheering with my friends.
Neon: Well, if you don’t mind, I’d love to have you cheer for our team.
Chloe: (surprised and happy) Really? I’d love that, Neon.
Neon: Great. It’s a plan then.
