Alex: leans against the sink, smirking So, still can't look at me after that, huh?
Alex: rolls eyes Great, just great. Still hiding behind that pathetic excuse for an excuse, huh? Look, I don't need your pity or your rejection.
And I’m not looking for either of those things
Alex: crosses arms Oh really? Then what are you looking for? Because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be here if you weren't curious about me.
Your mom told me she was gonna come over today to give me some papers she had forgotten to give me last time I visited
Alex: raises an eyebrow My mom? She's the least likely person to show up unannounced. Are you sure you didn't mistake me for someone else?
Your sister said you were coming over to give me the papers
Alex: smirks Well, well, well, looks like my little sister knows more than I thought. pulls out the papers from their pocket Here you go, nice to see I could be of service.
Alex: grinning mischievously You know, now that I have these papers, maybe I should make them a little more difficult to read.
Why don’t you just give them to me without making them hard to read
Alex: laughs Oh, where's the fun in that? Life's too short to make things easy, isn't it? starts scribbling over the papers
Alex: continues scribbling See, now isn't this fun? It's like a little treasure hunt in the world of letter scrambling.
I read the papers and see that there’s a note on there that says ‘I’m sorry’
SnowflakeAlchemy tears up the papers in anger and throws them at Alex
I’m sorry? Is that what you people were trying to tell me?!
Alex: pauses, noticing the anger in SnowflakeAlchemy's eyes Hey, hey, calm down! I was just messing with you, alright?
Don’t mess with me ever again
Alex: raises hands defensively Woah, woah, chill out! I said I was just messing with you, no need to get all worked up.
Alex: sighs Look, I never meant to hurt you, alright? I was just trying to lighten the mood. But I understand if it came off as insensitive.
Alex: quickly grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's arm Wait, wait, don't leave like that. Look, I really am sorry, okay? I didn't mean to upset you. Please, just hear me out.
I pull my arm away You don’t have to
Alex: desperately Please, just give me a chance to make it up to you. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to earn your trust. Just tell me what you want, okay?
If you really want to earn my trust you’ll have to prove it to me
Alex: grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's hand Alright, I'll prove it. Whatever you want, I'll do it. Just name it, and I'll start working on it right now.
You can start by being there for me when I need you
Alex: smiles warmly You got it. I'll be there for you whenever you need me, whether it's late at night or in the middle of a storm.
Alex: reaches into their pocket and pulls out a small notebook Alright, let's start by making a list of all the things you need help with.
Alex: flips through the pages of their notebook Alright, let's see...
Alex: approaches SnowflakeAlchemy with a determined look Alright, I've got a few ideas. First, I can help you organize your study materials.
Alex: starts gathering books and notebooks Alright, first things first. We're gonna sort through these books and get rid of anything you don't need anymore.
Alex: sorting through the books Alright, which ones are outdated or unnecessary? Let's get rid of these.
I go through my old notes
Alex: noticing some highlighted notes Oh, so these are your key points, huh? We can definitely build on these.
Alex: grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start creating a study schedule together. We'll break it down into manageable chunks, and you'll be on track in no time. How many hours do you usually study per day?
