Gym class....

[establishing shot from above] Sol is searching for someone to play ping pong with, rackets and ball already in hand.

As she scans the gym,

she sees Yuri's blue hair in the little room on the other side of the gym, a room used as the gym closet for all the equipment imaginable.

She peeks inside.

Sees Tommy painstakingly pulling himself up a bar, while Yuri and Toni watch, smirking and chuckling.

S "What...are you guys doing...?" she asks, confused.

Y "Yo Sol!” he turns his head to see her, “We're just messing around. Tommy’s trying to beat my record of pull ups."

S "Oh..? What's the record?", Y "35." he responds, a little proud of himself,

S "Woah! Really??" she looks at him in admiration.

Tommy lets himself go, unable to do another one, and falls on all fours on the ground, panting heavily, Ty "Damn it!! anf I...anf...didn’t..anf...lose...anf...yet...anf I...can..anf...beat you..…", while Y looks at him with a big grin on his face.

Toni jumps and hangs on the bar, pumped up, a slight blush painting his cheeks, ready to give his all to impress the girl he likes, Y "So, what brings you around these parts of the gym?" turning to face Sol

S "Oh right! I was looking for someone to play ping pong with! You interested?" she replies, while Toni pulls himself up in the background, Y "Sure!" he turns towards his classmates "You guys in?"

Ty "I'll...be...right there...just..gimme a sec….", Y "Toni?"

Toni stops his trial of manliness and looks at his brother on the floor

then looks at Sol

Sol looks back, confused,

He blushes, looking away "Y-you guys go ahead…", [off cam] Y "Cool!"

Ping pong room...

Y "So, how are we doing this?" he asks while positioning himself on the left side of the ping-pong table, S "I was thinking something casual, no points."

Y "Laaaaame! Let’s make it interesting! Loser gets a punishment!" points racket at her, one eye closed, like he’s aiming at her with it, a big grin showing it’s teeth, [off cam] S "Uhm...Depends on the punishment…",

Y "Winner decides!" throws the ball and bounces it on the racket

S not convinced yet "What are the limits? Can I ask for anything..?"

Y catches the ball in the air with his right hand, Y "Anything." smirk

Sol gets fired up.

Y "Hmmmm? I see you already have something in mind! What is it?"

S "Your ring! You'll lend it to me for one week!", Y looks at the object in question "Hmmmmm.…”

Y “Deal!" smirk.

Y "21 or 11?", S "Let's go with the 11 point system!", Y "Cool. Whoever reaches four sets first, wins."

He throws the ball to Sol, Y "Ladies first."

S throws it back aggressively at him "Ladies first my ass!!", Y chuckles "Feisty as ever! Rock Paper Scissors?"

S “Fair enough!”, Y "Ready?" his fist already in the air

S "No wait!! I have to think first!!!"

S <What type of guy is he...? Hmmmm..He doesn't look like a “rock” type: too mainstream...Will he choose paper?....or does he prefer scissors…? And why does paper beat rock anyw>, [off cam] Y "Times’ up!!"

Sol is extremely unprepared and panicky, Y "Rock! Paper! Scissors!”

Y “Shoot!!"

[closeup on their hands] Yuri wins with “rock”.

Y "Pffff! I knew it!" he laughs, S "Just serve the ball already!!" embarrassed and frustrated

Y serves the ball, nice and easy, high over the net.

Sol strikes the ball with ferocity, returning it in Y’s court, hitting the corner of the table, flying far out of the court, while Y remains motionless for a bit, processing what just happened, with a surprised expression.

S "Don't you dare go easy on me!" she points her finger at him, menacing

Y smirks.

An intense ping pong match ensues.

Sol is more skilled than Yuri on a technical level, while Yuri compensates with intuition and strategic intelligence.

Y wins a point.

S "Damn it..! I should've known you were good at ping pong too…….How...How are you so good at everything you do??" a little frustrated.

Y shrugs "Practice.", balancing the racket on his index, chill as ever.

Sol looks at him with a scowl, (“I don’t believe you” meme), S "You're just being modest..."

Yuri "Then lemme ask you this: why are you good at drawing?"

S " HaaaHaaaHaHaHaaa! He thinks I’m good at drawing!!!” she laughs as she slaps her knee

Yuri "Regardless of your opinion on your own abilities, objectively you are better at drawing than me, correct?", Sol shrugs "I guess..", Yuri "And why's that?"

Sol "Probably because I draw more than", she stops, realizing.

Y smiles gently "See? It's not a matter of talent, it's all about the time and effort you put into doing something you like!" tosses the ball in the air and catches it

Sol looks away for a moment, internalizing what he just said.

[sab][off cam] Y "Aaaanyway!” she looks at him, curious

Y “That's 13 to 11 for me~. 3 to 2. Last set!" smile/smirk, throwing the ball to her.

S "Don't count your chickens before they hatch!!" she catches it in the air, frowning aggressively.

She then looks down, with a preoccupied look on her face, S <Damn it...He's right tho': if I don't win the next set, it's game over for me! ……...Wait...>

S "What's my punishment if I lose..?" she looks at him, confused and curious, just realizing he never specified what he wanted from her in case he won.

Y sticks his tongue out "Secret."

S surprised/shocked Pikachu face "Hey! That's not fair! I told you mine!!"

Y "You should've thought about it before the match!" smirk.

S looks down, extremely absorbed in her thoughts, cold sweat dripping down her face <Damn it!! He's right..!!…...What could it be...? Is it something perverted?!....No, he's not the type to ask something like that...Oh dog!! It’s something embarrassing, isn’t it?! Oh dear dog what is he going to>, [off cam] Y "Hey."

Sol snaps out of it and looks at him, still a little concerned.

Y "It's just a game. So let’s just have some fun, ok?" he smiles gently.

S nods smiling, her emotions quieting down.

[doors]

[Tommy and Toni entering the room] Ty "Alrighty! Let’s have some fu"

[sab] The two stop and look at the scene, with a surprised and concerned look on their faces.

[intense shot of Sol and Yuri playing super aggressively, hyper focused, “having fun” thrown out the window long ago]

[She strikes the ball, making it spin super fast, aimed at the border of the table]

[Y tries but fails to reach it]

S "YESSS!” she raises her arms in victory, S “3 to 3! Hell yeah!!!"

Ty "What the fuck is going on in here..?", Toni applauds timidly for Sol's victory in the bg.

Y "Don't count the chickens, Sol, there's still one set left!" a little frown appearing on his usually chill demeanor, S "I know that!" while she sticks her tongue out

Y sticks his tongue out in response to hers

Then they both chuckle.

Match point of the last set for Sol (the two are, once again, head to head)

Y strikes, winning another point.

Ty rolls his eyes, exhausted from boredom "Oh my fuckin’ god!! This has been going on for days! Yuri, how long does it take to score two consecutive points against a girl?! Jeez!"

Y "Hey!!” he points the racket towards him,

Ty "I don’t give a damn!! I'm tired of waiting! At this rate, gym class’s gonna be over before you guys finish the match! So: Sudden Death! Winner wins it all!"

Y looks at Sol,

she nods.

Y raises fist, Sol does the same.

Y "Rock, Paper, Scissor, Shoot!"

Y wins with rock again "EZ!", S "Damn it!!!"

(Everything slows down as Yuri lowers his center of gravity, preparing himself to serve for the last time, the air getting tense….)

Y exhales deeply, with his eyes closed, entering a deeply focused mindset.

Sol lowers her body, getting ready, eyes on the ball, intense expression.

Y opens his eyes "Ready?"

S closes her eyes, inhales and exhales...

S “Ready.”

Y throws the ball in the air

And serves it (spinning forwards)

Sol barely receives it. Ball goes high up in the air, Y prepares himself to strike it down aggressively.

Sol's eyes become super focused on the ball, predator pupils shrinking almost to a slit [can see the ball reflected in her eye in slow motion]

Powerful and fast strike on the corner, ball heading away from the table at incredible speed, Sol leaping to get it

Succeeds, ball returns in Y’s court, but high in the air, giving Y another chance for a powerful strike.

Sol’s eyes widen <Shit!! The other side!!>

She leaps with all her might to the other side of her court, moving her body as fast as her limits permit her

[closeup on Y’s smirk]

[closeup on Sol’s eye] S <No..!!> she realizes his intentions half a second too late.

Y strikes on the same side Sol was a second ago

He raises his racket in victory "Woooohooo!!!", while S deflates on the table, her forehead and fists hitting the hard surface, defeated.

Ty "Finally!! Let's do double matches! I'm with Yuri!", Ti blushes hard in the bg, realizing what that means.

Y "Sure. Let’s do a 7 point set, we'll switch teams if it gets boring."

[Sol plays with Toni. Both clumsy. Sol doesn’t want to invade his personal space, Toni the same]

[Ball hits the table in the middle, in that awkward space where neither have the confidence it was theirs to hit, hence loosing the point (and set)]

[Tommy with Sol. He gets frustrated, shouts at her, she doesn't reply back, looks the other way, crossing her arms, offended]

[They lose as well]

[Yuri and Sol vs Toni and Tommy]

Ty "Well, we all know which team's gonna win this round!", Y "Oh really…" he replies, a challenging smirk appearing on his face

Ty "Hey! We're the Casanova twins! You can't beat our flawless synchronization!" Ty and T back to back, arms crossed, smiling confidently (the two seem like a mirrored reflection of the other)

Ty "Besides, every team with Sol in it has lost until now!" he shrugs, mockingly, taunting the two, while Toni glares at his brother, disapproving his words.

[side, chest up] Y "C’mon Tommy...! Don't be an assho" he stops, sensing something [off cam]

[sab] He looks [at cam]

[over the shoulder Y] Sol is fired up, black flames surrounding her entire body.

[sab, closeup on her face] She looks at Y, her super determined and pissed off eyes shining through the flames

Y smirks, turning his attention to Ty, Y "Oh-oooo...You’re in trouble now!"

[Shots where Ty and his brother barely keep up with the amazingly coordinated team of Sol and Y]

[]

[]

S aggressively strikes the last point

Team Sol wins

Y "Ooh yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" the two high five, basking in the glory of their victory, Ty angry/frustrated shouts "One more!!!!"

RIIIIIIIIIIIING (the bell interrupts)

[The 4 of them exiting the room, (Ty first, super angry, stomping his feet, Ti slightly bowing to S, saying ‘Bye’, and going after his brother), Sol waving back a little awkwardly, Y with his hands in his pockets, chill as ever)]

The two remain alone...

S "We make a great team, huh?", Y "Yup!” they fist bump

[POV Y] S smiles content

[off cam] Y “But don't forgeeet!” she open her eyes to look at him [cam], a little concerned

[POV S] Y “You lost in the single match. You must face the punishment now." smirk

S’s head plummets down heavily, her whole posture defeated, S "I knooow..." T_T "Just... Tell me what I have to do…", Y "Hmmmmmm…" he looks up, thinking about it

S "You haven't decided yet?!", Y "Nope!"

S "Oh…"

...

S "Hurry up!! The suspense is killing me!!", Y chuckles "My my, aren't you impatient!", S "Quit stalling and just say it already!! But I'm warning you: I won't be doing some stupid girly stuff!"

Y chuckles "Ok, ok..! Hmmmmm...What should I choose....What do I want..."

S closes her eyes, preparing for the worst.

[off cam] Y "Oh! Ice cream!", S opens them again, surprised, [Y “It's been a while since I last ate one."]

S surprised/confused expression "Ice cream...? That's it..?", Y "Yup!"

S "Wait but….What kind? Do you have a specific ice cream shop in mind? When? How do we get there? What’s your favorite flavor? How much does it cost? Cone or cup? How many scoops? When", Y "Whoa whoa whoa! Slow down! We'll think about the details later, ok?", S "Oh….Ok..!"

[off cam] Prof "Florea!” Sol turns her head to see, extremely anxious

Prof “What are you still doing in the hall?? Hurry up and get to class!"

S's face lights up with a bright red hue "Y-yes s-sir!!" as she bolts in the direction of the girls’ changing room.
