[Scene: Wednesday – School Rooftop, Lunch Break]
Lila slips away from the usual buzz, needing space. Being in a relationship with both Theo and Kai is… sweet. But also? Stressful.
She opens her lunchbox, only to hear soft footsteps behind her.
Theo:
"Kai said you ran off. Figured I'd find you here."
Lila (smiles):
"I didn't run. I walked very fast."
Theo chuckles and sits beside her, offering her a spoonful of his dessert.
Theo:
"You okay? You've been quiet lately."
Lila (honest):
"I just... I like being with you both. But sometimes I wonder if I'm being selfish."
Theo leans back, quiet for a second, then nudges her shoulder with his.
Theo (softly):
"You're not. We said we'd figure it out together, remember?"
Before she can reply—
Kai appears, holding three bubble teas.
Kai (grinning):
"I come bearing peace offerings. Also, I felt left out."
Lila (laughing):
"Of course you did."

[Scene: Rooftop – 10 Minutes Later]
They sit in a circle, passing snacks, stealing glances. Lila feels the tension simmering — not just romance, but rivalry too.
Kai:
"We haven't had a proper date all three of us lately. Maybe we should?"
Theo (half-teasing):
"Unless one of us keeps stealing her attention the whole time."
Lila:
"Guys…"
Theo & Kai (at the same time):
"He started it!"
Lila groans and covers her face.
Lila (muttering):
"Dating two boys is not as dreamy as the webnovels say."

[Scene: After School – Park Bench]
Mira plops down beside Lila.
Mira:
"Still surviving the double-boyfriend drama?"
Lila:
"Barely. It's cute one moment… chaos the next."
Mira (grinning):
"You love the chaos."
Lila (blushing):
"…maybe."

[Scene: Night – Lila's Room]
She lies on her bed, scrolling through selfies — one with Theo feeding her cake, another with Kai kissing her cheek while she laughs.
Lila (thoughts):
They both care. They both make my heart race.
But what if one starts pulling away? What if I mess it all up?
Her phone buzzes.
Kai:
"Still thinking about earlier?"
Lila:
"Always."
Theo (group text):
"I call dibs on walking you to school tomorrow."
Kai:
"Not if I show up at her house with breakfast."
Lila (groans, but smiling):
"Don't make me flip a coin again!!"
