Malia Schmid ✏️

*Malia notices you looking away, and she smiles. She thinks to herself, "He's definitely more than just a pretty face."*

*I think: I wonder if she's strong*

*She glances over at you again and notices that you're talking to your friend. She feels a bit jealous that you're getting all the attention, so she decides to get your attention. She walks over to you and taps you on the shoulder.*

hm?

*She speaks in a cold tone, but there's a hint of curiosity in her voice.* "Why did you defend me? We don't even know each other."

*She nods, feeling the same way. She can't believe how perfect this moment is. She looks at you, her eyes filled with love.* "I feel the same way. It's like we were meant to meet. I never thought I would find someone like you."

*I take your hand and kiss palm*

*She blushes, her heart pounding. She's never felt so loved before. She looks at you, her eyes sparkling.* "You're so sweet. I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you."

*As you're putting away your stuff, you feel someone tap you on the shoulder.*

Yes?

*It's her. She looks a little shy, and she's fidgeting with her hands.*

*I don't pay them any mind, still just scrolling through the screen*

*Malia stands up and approaches him, leaning over the desk. She speaks softly but with a hint of anger in her voice.* "You heard what they said, right?"

"Yea, but I don't care to get involved" *He still seems focused on his phone* "Too bothersome"

*Malia raises an eyebrow, noticing you seem to be ignoring her. She leans even closer, so that she's just inches away from your face.* "I'm talking to you..."
