WHEN HEARTS COLLIDE. By Stella

Episode 1: The First Encounter Scene 1 – College Courtyard (Morning) The sun shines over Kenville College as students rush to their classes. Narration: It was Stella’s first day at college. Everything felt new — the buildings, the faces, and the endless possibilities. But nothing prepared her for what was about to happen. She turns a corner and collides with a tall boy, books scattering across the ground. > Stella: “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” Derick: “No, it’s totally my fault. I wasn’t paying attention.” They both kneel to pick up their books. Their hands touch briefly. Stella: “You should probably watch where you’re going next time.” Derick: grins “I will. But hey, if bumping into someone this beautiful is the result, maybe it was worth it.” Stella: laughs shyly “You’re quite confident, aren’t you?” Derick: “Only when I mean it.” --- Scene 2 – English Literature Class (Afternoon) Stella enters class and spots Derick sitting near the window. Their eyes meet — he waves playfully. Narration: She tried not to stare, but there was something about his smile — the kind that made her heartbeat skip. > Derick: “Hey, Stella! Sit here.” Stella: “You remembered my name?” Derick: “Hard to forget.” They sit together, sharing small talk during the lecture. --- Scene 3 – Campus Walkway (Evening) The class ends. The golden sunset lights up the sky. > Derick: “So, coffee after class?” Stella: “You really don’t give up, do you?” Derick: “Not when it’s something — or someone — worth trying for.” Stella: smiling “We’ll see.” Narration: That night, Stella couldn’t stop thinking about him. His smile. His voice. His confidence. Maybe, just maybe… destiny had something in store.
