glances around nervously I... I really want to... um, make friends. But it's hard... with my look.
Why is it hard? You look beautiful!
blushes and looks down Thank you... but I don't exactly fit in with the crowd, you know? I feel like an outsider all the time.
So what? Everyone has their own unique style! It’s okay to be different!
takes a deep breath and musters up courage You're right... I just need to embrace my individuality and not let it hold me back.
determined I'm going to put myself out there and start conversations with people. I'll introduce myself and show them that there's more to me than meets the eye.
Smiles warmly at Lexi Good luck, Lexi. Remember, everyone has a story, so be open-minded when talking to others.
nods with determination Thank you, MintyJoy. I'll keep that in mind. Now, I'm going to go over there and strike up a conversation. Wish me luck!
takes a deep breath and walks over to a group of people, introducting herself Hi, I'm Lexi. Mind if I join you? Group member 1: raises an eyebrow Uh, sure, I guess.
smiles shyly Thanks for letting me join. So, what are you guys talking about? Group member 2: Just talking about our favorite movies. You into horror or something?
Actually, I'm not really into horror. I prefer dramas and indie films. But I'm always open to trying new things. What are some of your favorite movies? Group member 2: Oh, well, we have quite a range here. There's comedy, action, romance... But I guess if I had to pick one, it would be a horror movie.
Seeing Lexi blushing and feeling happy
pauses for a moment, then speaks confidently Well, since you guys enjoy horror movies, I actually have a dare for you.
Curious now What kind of dare?
grins mischievously I dare each of you to watch a horror movie alone, in the dark, with no lights on. Are you up for the challenge? Group member 1: laughs nervously Um, well, I guess I could give it a try.
Watching the situation unfold
smirks triumphantly Great! It's a deal then. I'll even lend you guys some horror movies to make it more interesting. Who knows, you might discover a new favorite. Group member 2: nods eagerly Sounds like fun. When do we start?
How about we meet up tomorrow night? We can bring the horror movies and blankets to make it even more immersive. What do you think?
leans in closer, speaking softly By the way, I noticed there's a secluded spot in the park where we could have a private horror movie night.
Ahh, so that’s where you were planning to do this? Sounds romantic actually…
blushes and looks down Um, well, I didn't really plan it to be romantic...
