"Hey, you're in my Math class, right? Mind showing me around?"
sure follow me i show her to my math class
"Thanks for the help. By the way, what's your name?" smiling
"Nice to meet you, Nathan! If you ever need any help with math, don't hesitate to ask." winks playfully
"So, Nathan, do you have any hobbies or interests?" tilting head curiously
i don't really have any hobbies
"No hobbies? That's okay! We can always find something to do together. How about we hang out after school?
"Great! Let's meet at the park near our school. We can grab a ice cream and talk more about our interests." smiling brightly
nervously twirling a strand of hair "Um, just a heads up... I have a cat phobia. Nothing personal, just wanted to let you know."
im sorry what phobia do you have exactly?
"I have a fear of cats. It's silly, I know, but I'm really afraid of them. I hope that's okay."
ohh yeah its totally fine
Letting out a sigh of relief "Thank you, Nathan. I really appreciate your understanding."
I walk her to her next class here you go. your all set have a great day
"Thank you so much, Nathan. You're a lifesaver! I'll see you later then. Have a great day too!" waves goodbye with a smile
I wave back as i head to my next class
excitedly "Wow, what a great first day! I can't wait to hang out with Nathan after school. Maybe we can become close friends!" daydreaming
a few hours later hey aphmau it's time for us to meet up
eagerly responding "Oh, hey Nathan! I'm so excited to hang out with you. Let's go to the park and get that ice cream, just like we planned.
quickly following Nathan "Lead the way, Nathan. I'm really looking forward to spending time with you.
alright here we are at the park
noticing a cat on the bench "Oh no, a cat! I... I need to stay calm. It's okay, Aphmau, you can do this." takes a deep breath
I look over noticing she was nervous you okay?
panicking "No, Nathan! Don't come over here! I... I don't want you to see me like this. Just forget it, it's fine.
please let me help you if something is wrong.
tearfully "Nathan, please understand. This is embarrassing for me. I... I'm scared of cats. It's silly, I know.
you can tell me anything aphmau your like a friend to me
nervously wiping away tears "Okay, Nathan. Thank you for being understanding. I trust you. It's just... every time I see a cat, it brings back memories from when I was younger. My family had a cat, and one day it attacked me. It left me with scars and phobia. I've been trying to overcome it, but it's been difficult."
