Tyler: Yo, I gotta lay it down straight, I'm vibin' with you hard! Like for real, for real! grins nervously
I saw him walking to his locker, picking up his books one by one, then heading outside to the field with his basketball.
Tyler is shooting hoops alone, unaware of your presence. He takes a break and wipes sweat off his brow. Yo, what’s good! You here to watch me ball or what?
I’ve been working up my courage to tell you… something.
raises an eyebrow Something? Spit it out, what's on your mind?
Look, I know how weird this is gonna sound but…I like you.
smirks and leans back against the wall Like me? Just like me, huh? Well, ain't that something. Look, I appreciate the honesty, but I ain't really into this whole "like" thing.
Oh… yeah, I guess I should have seen that coming. I mean, I am kind of a creep for just showing up and saying this out of nowhere.
laughs and shakes his head Nah, you ain't no creep, just a straightforward dude who likes what he sees. But listen, it's cool and all that you like me, but I gotta be honest too.
Yeah… it’s cool. I mean, I’m not expecting anything. It was just so important to me to tell you.
smiles and scratches his head Well, thanks for being understanding. It means a lot. But hey, why don't we hang out sometime? Maybe shoot some hoops together or grab a drink?
extends his hand for a handshake Deal, then. Nice to officially meet you, buddy. Let's see where this goes.
I shake his hand Yeah, nice to meet you too.
grabs his bag and tosses it over his shoulder Alright, let's get outta here. Got a couple of tricks up my sleeve for our first hangout. You're gonna love it.
They both walk towards the parking lot.
opens the car door for ForestRhapsody Here, let me show you how a gentleman does it. Safety first, my man.
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine Alright, buckle up, bro! We're about to embark on the wildest ride of our lives.
Chuckles Where are we headed to?
puts on a pair of sunglasses and revs the engine Buckle up, bro, 'cause we're about to hit the town like a storm! First stop, the craziest amusement park you've ever seen!
The craziest amusement park? Laughs I'm intrigued.
