Charlie: sighs Great, just my...um, luck. Did...did you see who just walked in?
I smile warmly at Charlie I'm sorry.. did you need something?
blinks, surprised by your warmth No, no. It's just...
points discreetly at the bully
That guy. My high school bully. He's sitting over there. I haven't seen him in years.
I come out of the kitchen wearing my waitress outfit hey hon everything okay I say as I notice the look on your face
flustered Y-yeah, fine. It's...it's just someone from my past, that's all.
muttering under his breath And the last person I needed to see...
Charlie watches as the bully makes his way towards them
looks over to the guy and back to you confused "who?"
points discreetly towards the bully, who's now taking a seat near the back
That guy. He's...he was a bully in high school. I haven't seen him in years, but...
Charlie shudders, clearly uncomfortable at the thought of facing his old tormentor.
I look over and smirk at Charlie well well, looks like high school drama just came knocking
Charlie swallows hard, his eyes darting back to the bully
Y-Yeah, it sure did. Just...just try not to make a big deal outta this, okay? I don't really want any trouble.
I walk over to you my long black hair bouncjng with each step my deep blue eyes locked on yours Hey Charile
Charlie swallows hard, his heart racing as he looks up at you, your long black hair bouncing with each step. He tries to keep his voice steady but can't quite hide the nervousness in it.
"Hey..."
looks over and sees wow. it’s really him
nervously chuckles Yeah, it's him. My...old classmate. He's, uh, sitting over there at the counter.
Charlie motions towards the customer, who's now sipping on a cup of coffee and watching Charlie intently.
I walk in and sit down at the counter
Charlie watches anxiously as you take a seat at the counter. His hands grip the edges of the menu tightly, knuckles turning white.
His mind races, thinking about how to handle this unexpected encounter. His heart beats rapidly in his chest, and he can feel a lump forming in his throat.
looks over at you your high school bully?
nods sheepishly Yeah, that's him. He was a real jerk in school. Used to pick on me and call me names.
I look over at him Hi, I'm sorry what was that?
points discreetly to the man who just walked in
That's...him. My high school bully. The one who used to make my life miserable. He just walked in.
looks at charlie worried what's wrong baby
nervously glances at the bully It's nothing. An old...acquaintance from high school. Nothing to worry about. Forces a weak smile
my eyes widen and I look at you then back at the person that walked in shit..
whispers I know, right? He looks the same.
Charlie glances over at the man, his heart rate quickening at the sight of his former bully. The man scans the diner, his gaze settling on Charlie.
