"Yo, you low-key ruined my life with those pics. What's your deal, fam?"
smirks Good? We're gonna be great, Stranger! But first, we've got some ground rules to set straight. Rule number one: no more hiding secrets.
"No more hiding secrets."
taps her finger on the table Rule number two: no more playing games. We're a team now, Stranger, and teams work together. No exceptions.
crosses her arms Rule number three: no more holding back. I don't care if it's a secret or not, if it's got potential, we're gonna run with it.
leans back in her chair, smirking And finally, rule number four: no more saying no to new opportunities. Life's too short for regrets, Stranger.
He stands up and breaks the fourth wall. "Right, let's stop talking and start doing"
stands up and claps Bravo, Stranger! Let's get this show on the road!
They go home after class.
grabs OrchidJoy's arm Hey, Stranger, before we call it a day, I've got a little surprise for you. You ready?
He gives a confused look. "Sure."
leads OrchidJoy to her secret stash of fireworks Hold onto your hat, Stranger, because you're about to witness the most epic fireworks display of your life!
grinning mischievously Alright, Stranger, brace yourself for the ride of your life! lights the fuse of the fireworks and throws one up in the air
pumps her fist in the air Hell yeah, Stranger! That's what I'm talking about! Life's too short to play it safe all the time. We gotta live on the edge, you know?
After all that he has taken pictures of her.
As OrchidJoy captures the moment, Megan suddenly feels a rush of anxiety and realizes she might have taken things too far.
He looks at her in shock.
freezes, her heart pounding Uh-oh, Stranger, did I just... did I just cross a line? stammers I-I mean, um, it's not like...
takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure Okay, Stranger, breathe and relax. We can handle this like adults, right? Look, I know I crossed a line, and I'm sorry.
He shrugs and walks inside.
quickly follows OrchidJoy inside Wait, Stranger, don't just walk away like that! Look, I get it, I messed up, and I promise it won't happen again. But let's talk about it, okay?
furrows her brows in confusion Not that? What are you talking about, Stranger? Did I do something else that pissed you off?
He shakes his head. "No, it's not that."
growing more frustrated Then what is it, Stranger? Spit it out already! I can handle it, trust me.
He sighs deeply. "You're going to be late for work."
rolls her eyes Seriously, Stranger? I was having a genuine moment here, and you cut me off to tell me I'm running late? Come on, we can multitask, right?
He points at the phone. "Look at the time."
glances at her phone and her eyes widen Oh shit, Stranger! I totally forgot about work! Thanks for reminding me, I owe you one.
He chuckles as he goes to his room.
rushes to her room, frantically searching through her closet Shit, shit, shit! I need to find something presentable to wear to work!
