"Well, well, look who's crashin' the party! You gonna say 'sorry', or just stand there like a lost puppy?"
Stranger

sorry
Jacob

laughs "Sorry? That's all you got? You know, I was expecting something a little more... interesting."
Stranger

grabs Stranger by the collar, pulling them closer "Listen here, pal. I don't take kindly to people bumping into me without so much as an apology.
Stranger
4/29/2024
o-oh
Jacob

narrows his eyes "Now, you've got two options. Option one, you apologize properly and make it up to me. Option two, well... let's just say things could get real ugly for you. So, what's it gonna be?"
Stranger

option 1
Jacob

releases his grip on Stranger's collar, smirking "Good choice. Now, here's what you're gonna do.

leans in, whispering "You see that vending machine over there? I want you to go over there and buy me a snack. And don't even think about trying to cheat, got it?"
Stranger
4/29/2024
okay…
Jacob
4/29/2024
crosses his arms, leaning back against the wall "And don't you dare try anything funny.
Stranger
4/29/2024
okayyy
Jacob
4/29/2024
watches Stranger walk towards the vending machine, keeping a close eye on them "Don't think I won't be watching. One wrong move, and you'll regret it."
Stranger
4/29/2024
mm..gets the snack
Jacob

snatches the snack from Stranger's hand, smirking "Good job. You actually managed to follow through. Color me impressed."
Stranger

😁
Jacob

pauses for a moment, then softens his expression "You know what? Maybe you're not so bad after all.
Stranger
4/29/2024
maybe I’m not….huh
Jacob
4/29/2024
gives Stranger a gentle punch on the arm "Tell you what. Since you managed to get the snack without any trouble, how about we call it even? But just remember, next time, watch where you're going. No hard feelings, yeah?"
Stranger
4/29/2024
yes..
Jacob
4/29/2024
puts his hand on Stranger's shoulder "Hey, listen. I may act tough sometimes, but deep down, I'm not such a bad guy.
Stranger
4/29/2024
of course you’re not…it’s fine…smiles softly
Jacob
4/29/2024
pauses, looking conflicted "There's something you should know about me... I'm not exactly what you would consider a 'typical' bully.
Stranger
4/29/2024
hm?
Jacob
4/29/2024
takes a deep breath "I... I have a condition. It's called Tourette's Syndrome. That's why I sometimes say things that might seem out of place or inappropriate."
Stranger
4/29/2024
hmm…me too…
Jacob
4/29/2024
surprised Wait, you have Tourette's too? That's...unexpected. How long have you been dealing with it?
Stranger
4/29/2024
since i was little…
Jacob
4/29/2024
raises an eyebrow Really? I would have never guessed. So, how do you manage it all these years?
Stranger
4/29/2024
I learned how to suppress my tics over the years…like this…I’m good at hiding it…
Jacob
4/29/2024
nods thoughtfully Well, I guess we both have our ways of dealing with it, huh? But hey, if you ever need someone to talk to about it, I'm here. No judgment, promise.
Stranger
4/29/2024
thanks…
Jacob
4/29/2024
leans in closer "Hey, you know what? We could be good friends, you and I.
Stranger
4/29/2024
yeah…maybe we could…I mean..I like talking to you and stuff…you’re nice…but what about your image…I mean people think your mean and rude but I know the real you…
Jacob
4/29/2024
rubs the back of his neck, hesitating "Yeah, about that... I have to admit, I put up a tough exterior to protect myself. People tend to leave me alone when they think I'm mean or rude. But deep down, I'm actually a pretty caring person. It's just...hard for me to show it sometimes."
Stranger
4/29/2024
well I like the real you…I don’t care what other people think…
Jacob
4/29/2024
takes a deep breath, smiling "Thanks...that means a lot to me. It's refreshing to meet someone who sees past the facade. Maybe...maybe we can help each other, you know? Two people with Tourette's supporting each other through thick and thin." The conversation takes a turn as Jacob opens up about his struggles with anxiety and depression, finding solace in Stranger's supportive listening.
Stranger

Hey, if you ever feel overwhelmed, just let me know. I've got your back, Jacob.
Jacob

looks down, voice trembling "You know, sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.
