Adrian
Time skip: free time
Elliot is walking through the school courtyard, arms full of books. Adrian, the star of the swim team, walks past him, laughing with his friends. Their eyes meet briefly, and Elliot stumbles, dropping his books.
Adrian
Careful there, Einstein.
Adrian crouches to help him pick up his books, smirking.
Elliot
(In mind)How is he so effortlessly perfect? Ugh, get a grip, Elliot. He doesn’t even know your name.
The rumor
Elliot
That afternoon, Elliot overhears his classmates whispering in the library about Adrian's.
Eilene
Don't you think Adrian is handsome
Carlee
Adrian is a little weird
Carlee
I heard Adrian's part of some secret club. They say he’s into... dangerous things.
Gerik
Yeah, like taking out people who cross him. Scary, right?
Elliot
(In mind) Wait. Adrian? No way. But… he did look at me weird yesterday. And he knows I accidentally saw him coming out of that abandoned building…
Elliot starts connecting dots that don’t exist.
Elliot
(In mind) is he really part of some secret club.....
Elliot
(in mind) what if he's trying to kill me because I saw him coming out of that abandoned building
Elliot notice Adrian looking at him
Elliot
(In mind) yep he's trying to kill me...
Elliot
(In mind) My first ever crush wants to kill me😭
Elliot
Ohhh would you look at the time I need to go byeee
After class, Elliot was walking to the library but saw Adrian
Because Elliot avoids Adrian in the hallways earlier, Adrian notices and decides to corner him.
Adrian
Hey, Elliot. Got a second?
Elliot
I...uh, I have somewhere to be.
Adrian
It’ll only take a minute. Why are you avoiding me?
Elliot
(blurting out)Because I know what you’re planning!
Adrian looks confused, but Elliot runs off before he can ask more.
Is he really?
Elliot
Okay, focus. You have a quiz tomorrow. Stop thinking about him. And stop imagining he’s out to get you. That’s ridiculous. Right? ...Right.
Elliot
It's impossible that my crush is trying to kill me right... it's definitely impossible wait is it possible...
Suddenly, a faint tap echoes from the window. Elliot freezes, staring wide-eyed at the source of the sound. A figure is standing outside, barely illuminated by the moonlight. It’s Adrian.
Elliot
(whispering to himself)
No way. No way. Why is he here? Is he stalking me? Oh god, does he have a weapon?
Elliot
(In mind) OMFG I'm going to die no I can't die yet because I haven't even had my first kiss
Adrian knocks again, louder this time. Elliot yelps and scrambles to hide under the desk, clutching a heavy textbook as a makeshift weapon. Adrian peers inside, looking amused and mouthing something. Elliot can’t hear him but panics even more.
Elliot
(muttering)This is it. This is how I go. Taken out by the guy I had a crush on. What a tragic end.
Adrian finally opens the window and climbs in, his movements casual. Elliot jumps up, holding the textbook above his head.
Elliot
(shouting)Stay back! I—I’m armed!
Adrian
(startled, then laughing)
Whoa, whoa, calm down! Whahahaha
Elliot
Why are you here? And how did you even get in? The library is closed!
Adrian
I saw the light on. Figured someone was still here. Thought I’d stop by and check. You seemed pretty jumpy lately, so I wanted to make sure you’re okay.
Adrian reaches into his pocket, and Elliot’s eyes widen as he spots something shiny in Adrian’s hand a small blade.
Elliot
I knew it! You’re here to unalive me!
Elliot hurls the textbook at Adrian, who barely dodges it. Adrian doubles over, laughing so hard he has to steady himself against the desk.
Adrian
Whoa, whoa! Chill, it’s a letter opener! Look!
He holds up the letter opener, waving it like a white flag. Elliot stares, realization dawning. His face turns bright red.
Elliot
A—a letter opener? Seriously?
Adrian
(still laughing)Yeah. I borrowed it earlier and forgot to return it. Thought I’d drop it off with the librarian. Dude, you really thought I was here to... what, take you out? That’s hilarious.
Adrian
Wait why did you think that I'll kill you?
Elliot
Ohh would you look at that it's already late byeee I need to go
Elliot Walks out in the library(he's walking fast, faster than my dad buying milk)
