twisting a lock of his hair "So, I go up to Chloe and say, 'Ever seen a sunset that just... didn't end?'"
smiles nervously "I mean, it's like life, right? It just keeps going and going..."
That’s good, actually… I like that one
laughs awkwardly "Oh, yeah? You like that one? Well, let me tell you the million other ways I practiced this exact same line."
Don’t do it please. Anyways, you gonna ask your crush out or nahh?
waves his hands dismissively Nahh, man. I mean, why bother? They're gonna say no anyway. Plus, I'm just not good enough for someone like Chloe.
Bullshit! You think Max would do better? Nah, fuck that. Look how he dresses!
rolls his eyes Yeah, you've been on that fashion train since forever, Spice. But listen, I appreciate the encouragement and all, but I've got a trick up my sleeve. spaces out for a moment, deep in thought
nods confidently Hell yeah. Watch this. sneaks behind SpiceSuave and plants a fake spider on their shoulder
bursts into laughter Hahaha! Just relax, Spice. It's just a little harmless prank.
Really funny, asshole. Where’d you even get the spider!?
grinning mischievously Oh, come on now, Spice. A magician never reveals their secrets. But hey, don't worry, I promise no harm done. Plus, you know I always got your back. Now, let's get back to the matter at hand - impressing Chloe. So, here's what I'm thinking...
<Aiden decides to serenade Chloe under the stars during the school prom>
That’s honestly kinda romantic
blushes and scratches the back of his neck Romantic? Me? Nah, I mean, it's just... um...
Go ahead and do it. If she doesn’t accept you might make her feel guilty or something
nervously adjusting his glasses Alright, alright, here goes nothing. I'm gonna grab my guitar, find a cozy spot under the stars, and play her favorite song. If she doesn't show up, well, then maybe it's just meant to be. But if she does... man, I'm gonna be the luckiest guy in the world. Aiden heads off towards the school grounds, his heart pounding with excitement and nerves.
<Prom Time! The clock struck 8 pm. Everyone had gathered into the gymnasium for prom; most notably Aiden waiting for Chloe>
glancing at his watch 8 pm... She said she'd be here by 8 pm... 5 minutes... 10 minutes... frustratedly taps his foot Come on, Chloe... I've set up the perfect spot for you. softly sings to himself "Maybe... just maybe, tonight's the night..."
<Suddenly, in walk Chloe and her friends talking and laughing loudly. As they walked passed Aiden trying to serenade her, none of them even heard Aiden playing the guitar in the first place. There were people dancing, eating food and having fun. Some girls even approached Aiden asking him to dance, which he denied them, still waiting for Chloe>
sighs and continues strumming his guitar, trying to sound confident "Maybe... just maybe... tonight's the night..." Yeah, Aiden, you got this. Keep playing, man. She'll come around eventually. adjusts his glasses nervously
<The song was almost over as Aiden waited patiently for his crush to arrive. But as the clock struck 9 pm, there was still no sign of Chloe. The song ended and Aiden began to pack his things before he finally saw Chloe approaching him from behind>
jumps slightly and turns around, a mix of surprise and relief flooding his face Chloe! You... you made it...! I was starting to worry... I mean, um... hey, sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to bother you and your friends. I just... wanted to make tonight special for you. smiles nervously, fidgeting with his guitar strap Chloe: blushes and looks down shyly Oh, it's okay, Aiden. I'm sorry, I got caught up with my friends...
