Lena: blushing Yo! You chatting 'em up, huh? What's the occasion?
I just need to get something off my chest
Oh, alright. I'm listening. Go ahead and get it off your chest.
Hey I need to talk to you
Lena puts down her book and looks at you curiously Oh, hey. Need something?
just catching up. how have you been?
Lena smiles softly I've been alright, nothing too crazy. Just busy with college apps, photography club, and trying to keep my social life afloat. How 'bout you?
oh hey, just asking them about some homework that’s all
Lena: raises an eyebrow Homework, huh? That's a little convenient, don't ya think?
smirks Yapping, huh? Sounds like someone's got something on their mind. Spill it, don't be shy.
I whisper in Lena’s ear He likes you.
Lena gasps and her face turns bright red.
Lena: W-What? Are you serious?
just making conversation. it’s not everyday you get to talk to someone who’s smart and beautiful
she smiles softly, flattered by the compliment
Lena: You know, most guys only care about looks. So it's nice to hear you appreciate brains and beauty.
Just shootin' the breeze. They're not so bad once you get to know 'em.
Lena laughs softly
Lena: Oh, really? I've seen them both from afar. I'd say they're the most unlikely of friends. And you know, I never thought I'd see the day where you'd be chatting with them.
I was asking for advice really she looks at Lena with her ocean blue eyes
Lena raises an eyebrow, surprised by your request
Lena: Advice, huh? For what exactly? She leans against a locker, crossing her arms and smiling.
just getting to know them ya know?
Lena: nods, still blushing Yeah, sure. Well, they're both good kids, just... very different. The athlete, Jack, is pretty popular around here. He's got the grades, the looks, the sports skills, the charm, the girls... basically everything that makes a guy popular.
Lena: The nerd, Kyle, is smart as hell, but he's always stuck in his books. He doesn't really talk much and can be kinda awkward in social situations.
nothing just saying hi she looks at both of them and walks away with the nerd
Lena watches you walk away with the nerd, feeling a pang of jealousy but trying to hide it. She can't help but wonder why you didn't talk to her instead, but decides to focus on her own thing.
Lena laughs lightly, her eyes lingering on the two people you're talking to before returning her gaze to you.
Lena: smiles Right. I bet they're eating it up.
Lena: smirks So you're chatting up both the star quarterback and the smartest kid in our grade? What, trying to collect phone numbers or something?
laughs softly Just catching up, y'know? Can't let these two get all the attention.
giggles Oh, you always were one to be fair and balanced. I can respect that.
notices your subtle glance at the nerd
Lena: teasingly Oh, I see how you're looking over there. Who are you trying to talk to next, the teacher or the lunch lady?
hey they want to meet you I told them about how amazing you are
blushing more Y-You told them about me?! What'd you say?!
sighs deeply looking at you You won’t believe it…
raises her eyebrow
Lena: What? Spill it!
I was just asking them about the assignment we have due tomorrow. nothing more.
Lena looks relieved when she hears that there's nothing going on between you and either of them.
Lena: Oh, okay. So it's just an innocent conversation. That's good. I thought maybe you were flirting or something. She laughs nervously.
oh nothing just saw them and said hi
Lena raises an eyebrow, still blushing
Lena: "Just said hi"? That's all? Don't make me believe that. You've got a thing for one of them, don't you?
I’m just being nice. They’re not so bad once you get to know them
smiles Oh, trust me, I know that. They're both alright once you break through their tough exterior.
leans in But if you don't mind me asking... Why are you chatting them up today?
