Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

Double trouble at first sight;

(Morning - College Campus, full of energy and noise)

Narration (Mira's POV):

"First days are like auditions everyone pretending to be cooler than they are. Except me. I am cool."😎

Aira, looking at Mira with a slight smile,

Mira: (fixing her hair)

"Today is going to be historic, Aira. Someone's definitely going to have a crush on me today."😏

Aira scrolls through her phone without looking at Mira.

You said the same thing last time, right before you spilled coffee on your crush.

Mira: That was strategy, not accident. I absolutely did not want him falling for me.

Aira: Honestly, Mira, it felt like he was the first person in the entire world to ever like you. 🫢

Mira:(small smirk)

ugh, Aira, seriously?"😑

(Suddenly, a new student walked through the college gate. Glasses on, hair in a ponytail, a book in one hand and her bag slung over her shoulder. She looked around briefly and started walking, calm and confident.)

Mira: (confident, smirking at Aira)

But...Today's goal is simple

one of the new students is definitely going to have a crush on me😎

Aira: (teasing, playful elbow nudge)

Then she'll break your heart… and I'll get you ice cream, right?🫢

Mira: (grinning, rolling her eyes)

"Exactly. Sister strategy: flawless."😀

(Suddenly, a football rockets past Mira's head. She reacts instinctively, diving to catch it heroically. But her balance slips… and she stumbles forward THUD!)

🔺Slow-motion freeze frame:

Elena is walking by, her expression curious. Mira lands on her knees right in front of her, hair slightly messy, one hand on the ground, the other clutching the football.

Mira: (dramatic, tilting her head up, eyes sparkling, almost whispering)

Gravity just introduced me to an angel."😇

Elena: (slightly taken aback, eyebrows raised, tilts head)

Umm… are you okay?

Camera lingers on their eyes for a beat, hinting at a spark of intrigue.

Aira rushes over, helping Mira to her feet.

Aira: (grinning)

"She's fine. Her brain just fell out a few minutes ago."

Mira: (flustered, glaring at Aira)

"Aira! Don't embarrass me in front of my future."

Elena: (smiling softly, amused)

"Future? We just met."

Mira: (dramatic, holding the football like it's fate)

"True love doesn't need time only impact. Like this football."🏈

Aira: Ignore her. She thinks flirting is a sport.

Elena: (smiling slyly)

"Well… I guess she just lost this round."

(Elena walks away gracefully. Mira watches her go, dreamy and slightly dazed, almost whispering to herself:)

Mira:"Wow… truly unforgettable."🤌

Aira: Wow, thirty seconds and already rejected? New record.

Mira: (dreamily)

Rejected? Hardly… that was just a challenge. And I don't lose.😏

Narration (Mira's POV):

And then it hit me—love at first sight can be dangerous… especially when your twin is standing right there, completely oblivious to it.

(Narration – Aira's POV shift):

"Mira collects crushes like they're stickers. I collect reasons to save her. She's all fire. I'm the one putting it out."

(Sunlight filters into the classroom as soft, gentle music plays. Elena walks in, her eyes scanning the room.)

Aira: (slowly, mesmerized)

"Something… about her eyes… it's strange."

Mira: (whispering, almost entranced)

"Yes… there's magic in them. It's calling me."

(For a moment, both sisters pause and look at each other).

Narration (Mira final line):

First day, and I'm already in trouble. But hey trouble basically is my middle name!
