grudgingly Yeah, thanks for helping me out. I guess studying together isn't so bad after all.
shrugs Yeah, whatever. See ya tomorrow, loser. walks away, feeling a mix of gratitude and annoyance
pauses, turns back towards David Hey, uh, thanks for being there for me. It means... well, it means something. walks away, blushing
sits down on their bed, reflecting on the day's events Who would've thought I'd actually thank David for helping me?
approaches David, looking slightly nervous Hey, um... thank you for yesterday. It was... actually nice studying together.
pauses, then speaks quickly Look, I... I wanted to apologize for all the stuff I've done to you.
grinning mischievously Well, you know what they say, "past behaviors are the best indicators of future behavior." So, I'm gonna continue being a dick to everyone, especially you.
grabs David's arm Wait, don't leave! I... I think we could be friends. Like, actual friends. Would you like to hang out sometime?

takes a deep breath, gathers their courage I just have to try again. approaches David, smiling Hey, I know I might have acted like a jerk before, but I really want to start over. Can we be friends?
jumps up and down excitedly Yes! Thank you! We're going to have the best friendship ever! Now, what should we do first?
grabs David's hand and pulls them towards the door Awesome! Let's go grab some ice cream! I know this great place nearby.
laughs Great! Let's hurry before they close! pulls David along, almost running to the ice cream shop

As they sit down to enjoy their ice cream, a group of bullies approaches them and starts taunting David.
