Scene 1: Group Meeting at the Café

(NOMINATION: Aiza starts the conversation to kick off the project.)

Aiza: (calmly) Alright, everyone, let’s get started. We need to figure out how we’re going to
divide the project into parts. Maybe each of us could handle a specific section?

(RESTRICTION: Aaron restricts the discussion to specific project details, subtly avoiding
personal talk.)

Aaron: (nodding) Sure, but let’s focus on the most urgent parts. We only have a week left, so we
can’t afford to get sidetracked. I'll take research.

(TURN-TAKING: Kaye jumps in, making sure everyone contributes.)

Kaye: (glancing around) Yeah, good point. Maria, what section do you want to handle? We
should make sure everyone’s involved here.

Maria: (nods) I can take the conclusion part. It’s straightforward, and I’m good at wrapping
things up.

(TOPIC SHIFTING: James, still hung up on Aiza, tries to shift the conversation towards
personal matters.)
James: (to Aiza) You’re handling the hardest part, as usual. You’ve always taken on too much.
(smiling) Reminds me of when we used to study together…

Aiza: (interrupting quickly, uncomfortable) Let’s stay on topic, James. We’re here for the
project, not the past.

(TOPIC CONTROL: Aiza keeps the conversation focused, but there’s tension in her voice.)

Lyka: (to lighten the mood) Well, I’m no expert, but I can help wherever I’m needed. Maybe
visuals?

(REPAIR: Kaye notices the tension and tries to smooth things over, bringing the discussion
back to the project to avoid any awkwardness.)

Kaye: (smiling) That sounds perfect, Lyka. Everyone's assigned now, so we should move on to
how we’re going to present. Aaron, any thoughts?

(TURN-TAKING: Aaron responds but also indirectly shows his feelings for Aiza.)

Aaron: (looking at Aiza) I think the way Aiza lays out the framework will set the tone. She
always has a clear vision. We just need to follow her lead.

Mia: (observing, with a teasing tone) Oh, Aaron, you’re always ready to follow Aiza’s lead,
huh?

(TOPIC SHIFTING: James, sensing the subtle hint of rivalry, switches the focus back to
himself.)

James: (grinning) Yeah, but I think she’s used to me leading the way by now. We were quite the
team, weren’t we, Aiza?

Aiza: (avoiding eye contact) We were. But things change. Let’s focus on the presentation,
please.

Scene 2: After the Meeting – One-on-One Conversations

(REPAIR: Aaron approaches Aiza privately after the group breaks up, hoping to repair
their strained friendship.)

Aaron: (softly) Hey, Aiza. I didn’t mean to put you in a weird spot back there. James keeps
bringing up the past, and I... well, I don’t want to make it harder for you.

Aiza: (sighing) Thanks, Aaron. It’s not your fault. James just… doesn’t know when to stop.
(TERMINATION: Aiza subtly hints she wants to end the conversation, but Aaron
continues.)

Aiza: Anyway, I have a lot on my mind. We should leave it at that for now.

Aaron: (determined) No, I think there’s more to say. Aiza, you deserve better than how James
treated you. I’ve seen it, and... I just want you to know I care about you, more than just as a
friend.

(TOPIC SHIFTING: Aiza, overwhelmed by the confession, shifts the topic.)

Aiza: (looking away) Aaron, we can’t do this now. The project, everything, it’s just too much.

Scene 3: A Crossroads Moment – Lyka and Kaye Talking

(TURN-TAKING: Kaye and Lyka chat while watching Aaron and Aiza’s exchange.)

Lyka: (curious) Do you think Aaron’s finally going to tell her how he feels? It’s been obvious
for ages.

Kaye: (smiling) I think so. But timing matters, Lyka. Maybe after the project is done. Besides,
Aiza’s still processing things with James.

(TOPIC CONTROL: Kaye manages the flow of the conversation to keep it calm and
grounded.)

Kaye: (thoughtful) And what about you? You’ve been staring at Aaron like he’s a lost puppy. Is
there something you’re not telling me?

Lyka: (blushing) Well, maybe I like Aaron too. But don’t tell anyone!

Scene 4: The Final Confrontation – Love Triangle

(TERMINATION: James confronts Aaron after seeing him talk to Aiza.)

James: (angry) You’ve been hanging around Aiza too much, Aaron. I think it’s time we draw
some lines. She’s not yours to save.

Aaron: (defensive) Maybe she’s not yours either, James. You had your chance, and you blew it.

(TOPIC SHIFTING: James shifts to a more emotional plea.)

James: (calmer) Look, I made mistakes. But Aiza still cares about me. You know that. You’ve
seen it.

Aaron: (firmly) I’ve seen her move on. And maybe it’s time you do the same.

Closing Scene

Aiza walks away from both, not giving any clear answer to either of them, as the tension in
the group remains unresolved.
