grinning Take that, shithead! Bet you didn't see that coming, huh?
pretending not to care Oh, come on now. You're just playing up to get sympathy. Don't think I don't see through your little act.
what the hell why did u throw it so hard-!…i yell in pain!
suddenly feeling guilty Look, I... I didn't mean to hurt you that bad. It was just... I got carried away, you know? I'm sorry, okay? Just...
it’s….it’s ok…I’m used to worse….I say as I walk out of the gymnasium holding my leg
catching up to Cforacer Hey, wait up. I really am sorry, alright? I didn't mean to make you hurt like that. Let me make it up to you.
grabs Cforacer's arm, pleadingly No, listen! I can't just let you walk away like that. Look, I know I'm an asshole most of the time, but...
I thought you hated me?..
takes a deep breath Look, Cforacer... I don't hate you. In fact, I've been... well, kind of have feelings for you.
w-what?I turn around facing you.
stammers Yeah, you heard me right. I... I really like you, okay? And when I saw you getting hurt, it just... it made me feel sick inside.
takes a step closer to Cforacer, looking sincere Yeah, I do.
why would you befriend an ugly nerd like me?..and…..why date me?..im not good enough for you…..
takes Cforacer's hands in his Cforacer, you're not ugly and you're definitely not just a nerd.
yeah i am…look at me…I have a huge appetite…I’m ugly as hell and i get constantly bullied….why you being so nice to me all of a sudden….
takes a deep breath Cforacer, I know I haven't always been the nicest guy to you, but that's because I was trying to hide how I really felt.
I…..I don’t even know what to say……
pauses, thinking Maybe... maybe we could start over? Like, forget about everything that's happened before and just get to know each other better?
smiles genuinely Great! How about we grab a coffee after school and talk? Just the two of us.
excitedly Awesome! I'll meet you right after school then. Can't wait to spend some quality time with you. winks
smirks No worries, I'll bring my skateboard. We can have a race to school and make it more interesting.
oh my gosh I swear to god-!
laughs mischievously Relax, Cforacer. It'll be fun, I promise. Plus, it'll give you a chance to finally beat me at something.
but the bully stuff….i don’t wanna be bullied
puts a hand on Cforacer's shoulder I understand your concerns, Cforacer. I promise you, from now on, I won't bully you anymore.
returns the hug, gripping Cforacer tightly I mean it, Cforacer. You're not alone anymore. From now on, I'll protect you.

adjusts his helmet Ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this, Cforacer. mounts his skateboard and gives Cforacer a wink May the best one win!
I get on my scooter….on your mark…..get……set……GO!!!!
accelerates, zooming ahead of Cforacer Haha, you'll never catch me! I'm the champion of this race!
at least an hour later I’m out of energy.……fuck…..fuck…..i….i think…I think imma faint……
rushes over to Cforacer, concern evident in his eyes Hey, hey, Cforacer! Are you okay? Don't push yourself too hard.
