“Okay, so in the movie, there's gonna be two people. I will send you the images of the two people that I want in there. And basically it's this girl(Cleo). She's sitting with her friends at lunch, and she is talking about how happy she is because she got neighborhood tickets, which is her favorite band, and she's finally going to the concert. She's getting really happy. And because there's this guy (Wandrey) at the school that she's been having a crush on for, like, three months, and she's been staring at him and always trying to speak to him and everything. So you can also add that, like the fact that she's been trying to speak to him for a while, but she hasn't succeeded. And she's been, like stalking his Instagram and be, like, sneaking when she's in her room stalking his Instagram and stuff. But then that day that she had the neighborhood tickets, she went up to him and was like, I'm gonna need to speak to you at break. And then at break she went up to him and she told him that she liked him, and he actually declined her, and she was like, Well, if you change your mind, let me know. He added her into a group chat with his friend called Xavier, which I will also send a picture of. And they were all calling, and the more they would call and speak late at night, they would start to have feelings for each other. And then one day they were supposed to go ice skating with her, him, Xavier, and this other girl called winter (Cleo’s best friend), but the ice skating rink was closed, so then they went cinema and he kissed her.”
