Writing Question?

Question

I am writing a story but got stuck when I had to create a scene were two characters had to meet. But I had some problems because:

1) Both characters are extremely quiet and are nice but don't want to talk or become close to anyone.

2) They would have to be seen together in a public place and to someone watching them look like they are enjoying each others company.

3) both teenagers opposite gender

See my problem. It is hard to create a scene where to people are forced to be together and still look like they are happy.

Any answers are appreciated!!!!!!

-Thanks

Answer 1

Just use an everyday situation, think about the ways you've met people before, whether it be bumping into them accidentally (literally) and helping to pick up dropped stuff, waiting for a late train/flight/bus, or even experiences which seem traumatic at the time and show different sides to people such as being stuck in a broken elevator, a mild road accident on public transport. People may be talking about it in a friendly manner after, sharing their thoughts about the event which has just passed.

Hope this helped, lol :) Good luck with your story

Answer 2

give them a serendipitous event.. where everything 'just happens', in which they are not able to ignore...

everone has a commonality..

Answer 3

They are two students and their teacher places them in a group to work on some project together.  It could be a psychology class and the teacher wants them to ask each other random questions, but the real point of the exercise is to view how people interact when they initally meet.
