Yo! Didn't expect ya here! Ron's cool, btw. We should all chill sometime!
But like, what about me? I thought you were my BFF… not Rons!
Hold up, hold up! I'm still your BFF, no doubt! It's just...I've been hanging out with Ron a lot lately, you know?
No… I don’t know! Why are you guys hanging out!? You’re MY bestie… it’s weird! You guys being friends!
Look, I get it. It's weird for you. But hear me out, okay? Ron's not such a bad dude. We just have some things in common, you know?
Y-you do?? Like what?! Her face looked confused
Well, for starters, we both love playing basketball. And we both have this crazy competitive spirit! It's actually pretty fun hanging out with him.
She rolls her eyes So you like basketball and competition huh? Thats weird… I mean, why didnt you say so before.
Look, I'm sorry if it seemed weird. I didn't mean to make you feel left out or anything. It's just...I didn't think you'd be so against me hanging out with Ron. I thought we were cool about these things. Ron: approaches, smirking Hey there, SunshineJourney. I heard there was some drama going on. Mind if I join in?
Alright, let's talk this out. pulls Ron aside Look, SunshineJourney is my best friend, and I don't want to make her uncomfortable. Can you two try to get along? Ron: laughs Get along? With her? You must be joking, man. She's impossible!
catches up to SunshineJourney Wait up! SunshineJourney, hold on a sec!
Look, I know it's weird and it feels wrong, but I really care about you. I don't want this to come between us. Can we talk about it?
Not right now… Walks home slowly
grabs SunshineJourney's arm gently SunshineJourney, wait! Please, just give me a chance to explain.
Okay… what do you want to say?
Look, I know my friendship with Ron may seem weird to you, but I promise you it doesn't change anything between us. You're still my best friend, and I'll always be there for you. I just want us to be able to coexist and be civil. Can we at least try?
Thank you, SunshineJourney. I appreciate you giving it a shot. Let's make a pact to put any drama aside and focus on our friendship. How about we do something fun together, just the two of us?
How about we go grab some ice cream? My treat. We can talk and laugh like old times. What do you say?
grins mischievously Great! Let's make it extra special. How about we ride our bikes there? It'll be like old times, remember when we used to race?
Yeah… good times. smiles slightly
pulls out his phone Hey, let me show you this funny video I found. It's guaranteed to make you laugh.
She chuckles lightly Sure…
opens his phone and starts playing the video Here it goes! Prepare to laugh your ass off, SunshineJourney!
She laughs as the video is funny
laughs loudly, enjoying SunshineJourney's laughter See? I told you it would make you laugh! We used to laugh like this all the time, remember?
Mhm… those were good times…
puts his arm around SunshineJourney Hey, you know what? Let's make a pact.
Yes, a pact. From now on, no matter what happens, we promise to always have each other's backs.
Thank you, SunshineJourney. I promise, no matter what challenges come our way, we'll face them together. You're my ride or die, and I won't let anything or anyone come between us. grabs her hand tightly
Smiles softly Ride or die, huh? I like the sound of that, Ethan.
leans in closer You know, SunshineJourney, I've had a crush on you for the longest time.
I know, it's out of the blue, but I couldn't keep it a secret any longer. You mean everything to me, SunshineJourney. I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship, but I had to tell you how I feel.
H-how… um… how do you feel about me?
SunshineJourney, I'm head over heels for you. I've fallen deep in love with your beautiful smile, your infectious laughter, and the way you light up a room whenever you enter. You're not just my best friend; you're the person I want by my side, through thick and thin.
