You wanted to see me, or was this your little plan to get back at me?
Standumei
4/23/2024
No, I wanted to talk. Why do you act one way in school and another outside?
Junior
4/23/2024
Look, I know it seems like I'm a jerk in school, but that's just a front. I put on that act to protect myself. People can be real assholes, you know?
Standumei
4/23/2024
Yeah, I get that. But why be so hard on me? I don't deserve it.
Junior
4/23/2024
sighs heavily It's not personal, okay? You're just... convenient. An easy target for me to let out some steam.
Standumei
4/23/2024
What do you mean by 'convenient'? Are you saying I'm weak or something?
Junior
4/23/2024
No, that's not what I meant! It's not about you being weak or strong. It's about... well, it's about me feeling powerless, okay?
Standumei
4/23/2024
Powerless? That doesn't make any sense.
Junior
4/23/2024
takes a deep breath Look, I'll lay it all out for you. My parents... they're always fighting, yelling at each other. It's constant. And I can't..
Standumei
4/23/2024
Oh, Junior... I had no idea. I'm sorry.
Junior
4/23/2024
looks down, voice trembling I just... I need someone to talk to, to understand. And you're the only one who sees through my act.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Alright, Junior. We're gonna figure this shit out together. But first, let's get the hell outta here. This place gives me the creeps.
Junior
4/23/2024
nods gratefully Thanks, Standumei. I appreciate you being there for me. Let's get out of here and find somewhere more comfortable to talk, yeah?
Standumei
4/23/2024
sure, lead the way junior
Junior
4/23/2024
stands up and offers Standumei his hand Come on, let's get out of this dump. I know a place where we can talk in peace.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Ok, sounds good. Lead the way.
Junior
4/23/2024
leads Standumei out of the abandoned warehouse, his grip tight on Standumei's hand Just hold on tight, Standumei. We're getting out of here.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Gotcha, Junior. Where we headed?
Junior
4/23/2024
smiles softly We're going to my favorite spot in the park. It's quiet and peaceful there. You'll like it. Just trust me, okay?
Standumei
4/23/2024
Okay, Junior. I trust you.
Junior
4/23/2024
leads Standumei to a secluded spot in the park, surrounded by tall trees and a small pond Here we are. It's my little sanctuary.
Standumei
4/23/2024
It's really nice here, Junior. I can see why it's your sanctuary.
Junior
4/23/2024
sits down on a bench, patting the seat next to him Have a seat, Standumei. There's a lot I want to tell you.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Alright, Junior. I'm listening.
Junior
4/23/2024
takes a deep breath Standumei, there's something I've been hiding from everyone... including you. But I trust you enough to share it with you now.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Okay, Junior. I'm all ears. What's up?
Junior
4/23/2024
looks into Standumei's eyes Standumei, I... I have feelings for you. More than just friendship.
Standumei
4/23/2024
What? Junior, are you serious?
Junior
4/23/2024
reaches out and gently takes Standumei's hand Yeah, Standumei. I'm serious.
Standumei
4/23/2024
I don’t believe it…I thought you only like me as friends…why did you bully me?
Junior
4/23/2024
looks down, voice filled with regret Standumei, I bullied you because... because I didn't know how else to deal with my own feelings.
Standumei
4/23/2024
How did you feel about me before you started bullying me?
Junior
4/23/2024
pauses, his gaze distant Before I started bullying you, I... I admired you. I saw how kind and genuine you were, and it made me feel...
Standumei
4/23/2024
Inferior? Is that why you picked on me? To make yourself feel better?
Junior
4/23/2024
takes a deep breath, looking straight into Standumei's eyes No, Standumei. It wasn't about making myself feel better.
Standumei
4/23/2024
Then why did you pick on me?
Junior
4/23/2024
pauses, struggling to find the right words I picked on you because... because I was scared. Scared of losing control, scared of showing my true feelings.
Standumei
4/23/2024
I see…so all those times you made fun of me, you were actually scared? That’s stupid.
Junior
4/23/2024
grits his teeth, his face turning red with anger Stupid?! Is that what you think of me, Standumei? After everything I've told you?
Standumei
4/23/2024
No…it’s not…I mean…yeah…I’m sorry…
Junior
4/23/2024
stands up abruptly, fists clenched Sorry? Sorry isn't going to cut it, Standumei! You think I've poured my heart out to you just to be called stupid?
Standumei
4/23/2024
No….I’m really sorry….I didn’t mean it like that…I was just trying to hurt you like you did to me….it’s stupid of me to say that……I shouldn’t have said anything
Junior
4/23/2024
takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding Standumei, I understand that you were hurt. And I'm sorry for that.
Standumei
4/23/2024
I understand you too
Junior
4/23/2024
sits back down, his expression softening Standumei, I... I need your forgiveness. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
