Episode 1: “The Boy Who Forgot”
College Campus – Afternoon, First Day of Semester
Laughter, chatter, and sunshine fill the courtyard. Lily walks toward her new class, headphones in — until she hears a voice she hasn’t heard in years.
Aaron Blake(ML)
Lily? …Is that really you?
Lily Carter (FL)
(freezes) Aaron?
Aaron Blake(ML)
Wow. You’ve changed so much.
Lily Carter (FL)
(softly) You haven’t. Still walking into my life uninvited.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(smirks) You still hold grudges, huh?
Lily Carter (FL)
Only when they’re worth it.
(They share an awkward smile. The silence between them feels heavier than the years apart.)
Lily Carter (FL)
So… you’re back in town for college?
Aaron Blake(ML)
Yeah. Thought it was time to come home.
(Before Lily can reply, a girl walks up, looping her arm through Aaron’s.)
Chloe (ML's GF)
There you are, babe. Who’s this?
Aaron Blake(ML)
Oh — this is Lily. My childhood friend
Chloe (ML's GF)
(fake smile) Aww, childhood friend! How sweet.
Lily Carter (FL)
(Forcing a smile) Yeah. Sweet.
(Chloe leans closer to Aaron, possessive. Lily’s chest tightens.)
Lily Carter (FL)
Anyway, I should get going. Class starts soon.
Aaron Blake(ML)
Wait—Lily—
Lily Carter (FL)
(cuts him off) It was nice seeing you, Aaron. Goodbye.
Chloe (ML's GF)
(She walks off quickly. Chloe watches her leave with a smirk.)
Aaron’s Family Home – Evening
Aaron arrives home; his mom greets him warmly.
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
Aaron! Look who’s back.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(smiles) Home-cooked food and mom’s hugs — missed this.
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
(grins) You know who else we missed? Lily! She used to visit every week.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(pauses) She… still visits?
Mr. Blake/Richard(ML’s Father)
Of course! She helped your mom plant those new flowers. That girl’s like our daughter.
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
You should invite her over sometime. It’s been too long.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(looks away) Maybe… someday.
(His phone buzzes — a message from Chloe.)
Chloe (ML's GF)
Don’t be late tomorrow. Dinner with my friends 😘”💬💬
(He sighs and types back quickly.)
(But even as he texts, he sees Lily’s face flash in his mind. He shakes it off.)
Aaron Blake(ML)
(thinking): She’s just an old friend. That’s all. Right?
Lily’s Room – Night
Lily lies on her bed, the small marble he gave her years ago glowing faintly under her lamp.
Lily Carter (FL)
(thinking): He looked happy. That should make me happy… right?
(Her eyes fill with tears.)
Lily Carter (FL)
You forgot, Aaron. But I remember every word.
(She clutches the marble and falls asleep, her heart aching quietly.)
Aaron’s Apartment – Same Night
Chloe is laughing on a video call with her friends. Aaron smiles faintly, but he’s distant.
Chloe (ML's GF)
You okay, babe? You seem off.📲
Aaron Blake(ML)
Yeah, just tired.📲
Chloe (ML's GF)
(giggles) You’re always tired. Get some rest! 😘📲
(She ends the call. Aaron sits silently, looking at the rain outside.)
Aaron Blake(ML)
(thinking): Why do I still care how Lily looked at me today?
(He shakes his head and lies down, pretending not to care.)
Midnight – Two Hearts, One Sky
Lily sleeps with tears dried on her cheeks. Aaron stares at the ceiling in silence.
Both whisper the same thing at the same time — miles apart.
Lily Carter (FL)
(whispering): I miss you.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(whispering): I miss you too.
Chloe (ML's GF)

Hobbies: Shopping, taking selfies, and planning social events.
Fear: Losing control over the people she manipulates.
Description: The girl who looks perfect from the outside but hides jealousy behind her smile. She loves the idea of love, not the feeling of it. Her world revolves around attention—and she’ll do anything to keep it.
“Jealous Hearts and Fake Smiles”
Next Morning – Lily’s Room
After crying herself to sleep, Lily woke up looking like a sad panda.
Puffy eyes, messy bun, zero motivation to move.
Lily Carter (FL)
(thinking)Great. Now I look exactly how I feel.
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Good morning, heartbreak queen 😭💬
Lily Carter (FL)
Wow. Thanks for the title.💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Did you dream about your toxic childhood love again? 😂💬
Lily Carter (FL)
I’m ignoring you.💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
You won’t. You love me.💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Lily Carter (FL)
Ugh fine. But seriously, seeing him yesterday… it hurt.💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
What did you expect? The man brought his girlfriend like it was a trophy presentation 😭📲
Lily Carter (FL)
Don’t remind me 😩💬
Afternoon – Blake Residence
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
Lily, sweetheart! Oh my god, you’re glowing! Come in! 🤗
Lily Carter (FL)
(smiling) It’s so good to see you, Aunty.
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
You’ve become so beautiful, dear. Aaron’s gonna regret ever leaving your side!
Lily Carter (FL)
(laughs awkwardly) Haha… yeah, maybe.
(They laugh; Lily feels warm — Mrs. Blake always made her feel at home.)
Mrs. Blake/Sofia (ML’s Mother)
Go see Aaron! He’s upstairs, being his usual lazy self.
Lily Carter (FL)
(Thinking while walking upstairs)
Okay. Deep breath. You’re just visiting an old friend…
Who totally broke your heart…
And has a girlfriend now.
Yeah. This is fine. Everything’s fine. 😭
Lily Carter (FL)
(knocks) Hey…
Aaron Blake(ML)
(turns) Oh, hey. Didn’t expect you to come.
Lily Carter (FL)
Your mom basically forced me.
Aaron Blake(ML)
Figures. She likes you more than me anyway.
Lily Carter (FL)
(grins) Can’t blame her. I’m adorable.
Aaron Blake(ML)
(smirks) You’re still full of yourself.
(A short silence — both trying not to look emotional.)
Lily Carter (FL)
So… Chloe seems nice.
Aaron Blake(ML)
Uh, yeah. She’s… great.
Lily Carter (FL)
(thinking) Yeah, sure. You totally sounded in love. 🙄
(Just then, Chloe barges in.)
Chloe (ML's GF)
Babe!—oh… hey, Lily.
Lily Carter (FL)
(fake smile) Hey there.
Chloe (ML's GF)
Didn’t know you were here. You two catching up?
Aaron Blake(ML)
We were just talking—
Chloe (ML's GF)
(cutting him) About what? Childhood fairytales? Cute. 😏
Lily Carter (FL)
Anyway, tell Aunty I’ll visit again soon. I should go.
Chloe (ML's GF)
Bye, bestie 😘
Lily Carter (FL)
(murmurs) Not even close.
Lily Carter (FL)
(thinking)I hate how jealous she made me. I hate how calm I had to act.
But mostly… I hate that I still love him.
(Her phone buzzes again.)
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Sooo? Did you throw hands or just die inside?💬
Lily Carter (FL)
Option 2.💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Girl, at least make him jealous next time 😏💬
Lily Carter (FL)
And how exactly do I do that?💬
Mia Thompson (FL’s Best Friend)
Simple. Smile, dress hot, ignore him. It works every time 💅💬
Lily Carter (FL)
(laughs) I’ll try. No promises.
Later That Night – Aaron’s Room
Chloe (ML's GF)
You’re quiet again. Thinking about her?
Chloe (ML's GF)
Hmm. You said her name in your sleep last night.
Chloe (ML's GF)
Relax, babe. I’m not mad. Yet 😏
(Chloe walks off, smirking. Aaron sits there, annoyed.)
Aaron Blake(ML)
(thinking) I didn’t say her name… did I?
God, what’s wrong with me?
(He opens his old phone gallery — pictures of him and Lily as kids.)
Aaron Blake(ML)
(thinking) Why does looking at her still feel like home… and punishment at the same time?
Outside, Light Rain Falling
Two hearts — one pretending to move on,
The other pretending he already has.
But neither fooling anyone.
