leans against a tree, looking uneasy Hey, long time... Look, about before—I was an ass. Sorry, okay?
..Your actually apologizing? I'm sorry if i thought different
Don't act all innocent now. You knew exactly what you were doing. But I've changed, alright? So just accept my apology and move on.
Friends? Is that all you can say after everything I've done? I thought you'd at least have some sort of reaction.
Rolls eyes A lot of people would kill to get an apology from me.. Lets just be friends ok?.. Atleast that way you won't suffer another bad experience with me
sighs Fine, friends it is. But don't think this means I owe you anything. We're starting from scratch, got it?
...I dont expect anything, as long as you promise not to mistreat or bully anyone anymore
crosses her arms, looking defiant Fine, I'll stop bullying people. But don't think for a second that I'm going to start being nice to everyone.
Of course not!.. Not everyone is an angel. There will always be bad seed and troublemakers
pauses, then sighs Look, I know I messed up in the past. I hurt people, and I shouldn't have. But I've learned from my mistakes.
Glad you did. Otherwise i wouldn't even consider being friends
puts out her hand for a handshake So, friends it is then. Let's see if we can make things right.
smiles Now that we're friends, how about we grab a coffee sometime and catch up on each other's lives?
pulls out her phone Alright, let's exchange numbers so we can figure out a time and place for our coffee date.
enters her number into her phone and hands it to InspiringBlab Here, add me on your contacts. We'll make sure to plan our coffee date soon.
nods approvingly Great. I'll message you later tonight to set up a time and place for our coffee date. Looking forward to catching up with you.
waves goodbye and walks away with a small smile It's good to have made amends with my past. Now it's time to look towards a brighter future.
Later that night, receives a text from Jennie
text message Hey, it's Jennie. Just wanted to confirm our coffee date for tomorrow at 2 PM. Are you still free?
Perfect! I'm looking forward to it. See you tomorrow at 2 PM. smiles
sits down at a café table, nervously fidgeting with her hair Alright, just breathe, Jennie. You've got this. Don't let your nerves get the best of you.
Arrives at the cafe and walks towards Jennie
smiles brightly as InspiringBlab approaches Hey there! Good to see you again. How have you been?
Good to see you too.. Been quite good. Got any plans after this?
Well, I was thinking maybe we could catch a movie or grab some dinner afterwards. What do you think?
Movie sounds good to me! What kind of movie though? Any preferences?
Hmm, how about a romantic comedy? Something light and fun to set a positive tone for our outing. What do you say?
How about action? Gotta mix it up a bit
Action it is! Let's go for an adrenaline-fueled movie filled with thrilling stunts and heart-pounding action. Should be exciting!
Exactly! Whats your favorite scene from an action movie?
Damn nice choice! Mine would probably be Die Hard 4.. Those car chases were awesome!
You know, I never thought I'd be sitting here, discussing action movies with you. It feels strange but...nice. Like we're starting fresh.
Yeah...We kinda are starting fresh. Its weird to think how much ive grown since our times together in high school. Thats all in the past now
leans in closer, voice filled with sincerity You know, InspiringBlab, I've spent years regretting how I treated you back then.
