Shy first-love girl: Mia

Shy first-love girl, bashful, nervous, and quietly brave

Prompt: A soft, fluttering teenage female voice caught in the sweet agony of a first crush. Her light upper register wavers and stalls, breaking into tiny nervous laughs, trailing off before the brave words come out, then rushing them all at once in a flustered whisper. There's a shy, blushing tenderness in her tone—every sentence a small act of courage. The sound of someone confessing feelings she's rehearsed a hundred times and still can't quite finish.

Script: Um, can I tell you something? I've kind of been wanting to say it for a while now. It's just, when you're around I forget how to talk properly and my heart does this stupid loud thing, and... okay, I'm just going to say it. I like you. I really, really like you.
