Episode 4: Secrets and New Encounters
Scene 1: The Suspicion Begins
Tara hesitates, unsure of how to answer Nadia's question. Just then, Jisa steps in with a smirk.
Jisa: "That's not a big deal—how she got here. You should be asking why she came here."
Tara considers this. Maybe she should tell them the truth. They might be able to help her figure out how and why she ended up in this world.
The conversation is left unfinished as they head to their next class.
Scene 2: Confession and Plans
After class, the girls return to their room. Tara stands in the middle, hesitant but determined.
Tara: "Guys, I have something to share."
Rose rolls her eyes and leans back on her bed.
Rose: "Don't tell me. I don't wanna hear."
Nadia chuckles.
Nadia: "Don't mind her. Most of the rich kids are arrogant."
Tara smiles slightly but quickly gets serious.
Tara: "I don't know how I came here… or why. Can you guys help me figure it out?"
Jisa leans forward, intrigued.
Jisa: "How should we start?"
Tara takes a deep breath before responding.
Tara: "I think we should keep an eye on Mr. Rayan. He definitely knows something."
Nadia crosses her arms.
Nadia: "Mr. Rayan isn't the type of person who would use someone."
Rose raises an eyebrow, giving Nadia a sharp look.
Rose: "She never said he wanted to use her. Why are you defending him?"
Jisa claps her hands together, cutting through the tension.
Jisa: "Okay, guys! Let's focus. Let's help our new roommate."
Scene 3: An Unexpected Meeting
That afternoon, Tara wanders into the academy's backyard, lost in thought. She spots a small pond when she hears footsteps approaching.
Two guys walk toward her. One of them greets her with a confident grin.
???: "Hey, I'm Neel. And you?"
Tara hesitates before softly replying.
Tara: "Tara."
Neel smirks.
Neel: "Did you come here to see hot guys?"
Tara smiles playfully.
Tara: "But I couldn't find any."
Neel chuckles and gestures to the other guy beside him.
Neel: "Meet my friend, Arib."
Arib, a tall, muscular guy with dark, intense eyes, is lighting a cigarette. He looks up briefly.
Arib: "Hi, Tara."
Neel leans in slightly.
Neel: "Which year are you in?"
Tara: "First."
Arib exhales smoke, his gaze steady.
Arib: "We're your seniors."
Neel grins.
Neel: "Let's exchange numbers. Seniors can help you survive here."
Tara nods, exchanging contact information with Neel.
Scene 4: A Suspicious Conversation
In the library Nadia and Mr. Rayan have a quiet conversation
Nadia: "Tara thinks you know something about her."
Mr. Rayan remains expressionless.
Nadia: "Can I ask why you brought her here?"
He finally speaks, his voice low.
Mr. Rayan: "She will do something for us. Only she can do it."
Nadia narrows her eyes.
Nadia: "What exactly?"
Mr. Rayan's eyes darken.
Mr. Rayan: "Don't ask too many questions. Just help me find a album. I heard it was here.
Scene 5: A Call from the Principal
The four girls are in their room when a knock at the door startles them. A male student stands there, looking directly at Jisa.
Boy: "Jisa, the principal wants to see you."
Tara furrows her brows.
Tara: "Why?"
Rose smirks.
Rose: "Don't you know? She's the principal's sidekick."
Jisa glares at her.
Jisa: "Shut up. I'm his assistant."
She leaves for Principal Z's office. The office is immaculate—bookshelves line the walls, neatly arranged, and the desk is perfectly organized. A family photo sits on the table.
Principal Z glances at her.
Principal Z: "What about the new girl? Is she doing okay?"
Jisa nods.
Jisa: "Yes, sir. I'm helping her adjust."
Principal Z gives a satisfied nod.
Principal Z: "Good. Now, help me organize these files."
Scene 6: The Party Invitation
That evening, Tara receives a message from Neel.
Text from Neel: "There's a party for the new students, arranged by the seniors. You should come."
Excited, the four girls get ready and head to the party. When they arrive, Neel is waiting at the entrance.
Neel (grinning): "Tara, you look pretty."
Tara smiles in response.
Just then, Arib approaches. Jisa leans in and whispers in Tara's ear.
Jisa (teasingly): "You know these handsome guys in just two days? Are you into Arib?"
Tara elbows her playfully.
Tara: "Shut up."
Jisa laughs, enjoying Tara's flustered reaction.
Inside, the party is lively. Some students are drinking, others are chatting and enjoying the food. Tara is sipping on her drink when something catches her eye—a strange guy is taking her photo.
Something doesn't feel right. Without a second thought, she follows him.
