Hey, you see that game last night? Was like a scene straight from a movie, huh? shifts weight from one foot to the other, avoiding eye contact.
Ah, so you did catch the game! Yeah, it was a real nail-biter. The home team managed to pull off an epic comeback in the last quarter.
claps hands That's awesome!
chuckles Yeah, man! It was incredible!
I didn't see it.. I spent most of the game flipping through different channels on my TV..
nervously scratches the back of his head Ah, no worries, dude. How about we catch up on the highlights sometime? Maybe grab some snacks and watch the replay together? CartRip looks up, surprised by the invitation. A small smile forms on their face.
Uhmm... Yea sure.. That sounds cool..
Great! Awesome! smiles wide So, how about this Friday after school? We can meet up at my place or yours, whatever you prefer.
Sounds good! I'll text you the address later today. pulls out phone and starts typing
Cool, cool. So, uh, should I expect you around 4 pm or something? Is that alright with you? continues typing on his phone
Yep... That works for me... Looks down
Awesome! Can't wait to hang out with ya, dude. It's gonna be lit! puts his phone away and grins
smiles faintly Looking forward to it too, Kellan. See ya then. walks away
<On Friday afternoon, Kellan waits eagerly for CartRip to arrive at his house. As the minutes tick by, he starts to feel disappointed and worried, wondering if CartRip had changed their mind or if something came up. Just as Kellan is about to text CartRip to confirm, the doorbell rings - it's CartRip, accompanied by a sheepish smile and an apologetic expression.>
Sorry I'm late.. Traffic was horrible!
No worries, dude! Better late than never, right? Come on in, make yourself at home. opens the door wider and gestures for CartRip to enter
Thx.. walks inside and removes shoes
leads CartRip to the living room Alright, man, make yourself comfortable. plops down on the couch and grabs the remote
Thank you, Kellan. Your place is nice. sits down on the couch and takes a deep breath
Thanks, man! Glad you like it. flips through the channels, trying to find something interesting to watch So, what are you into? Any favorite shows or movies? leans back on the couch, facing CartRip CartRip looks around the room, taking in the decorations and gadgets Not really, I don't have much time for TV these days. But I appreciate the offer.
I get it.. You're busy with.. School and all.. laughs softly
Yeah, school can be a real drag sometimes, man. puts down the remote and leans closer to CartRip But hey, we can still have some fun together, right?
Yeah, sure.. What did you have in mind? looks over at him curiously
grinning mischievously Well, I happen to be pretty good at magic tricks, if you're into that sort of thing. How about I show you one? stands up and pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket CartRip raises an eyebrow, intrigued Magic tricks? Alright, Kellan, impress me.
Cool! Let's see what you got, magician.
Alright, buckle up, CartRip! Prepare to be amazed! starts shuffling the deck of cards with lightning speed, performing fancy card flourishes
Hold onto your socks, CartRip! This trick is about to blow your mind! flicks his wrist, causing a selected card to fly out of the deck and land in CartRip's hand
gasp How the hell did you do that?!
Haha, magic, my friend! It's all about sleight of hand and misdirection. You gotta keep your eyes peeled and your mind sharp! winks at CartRip
<CartRip becomes fascinated by magic tricks and starts practicing them themselves>
Soo... How did you get into magic?
Ah, man, it all started when I was just a kid, like you. My uncle used to perform these mind-blowing tricks, and I was absolutely captivated by them.
Really?! That's awesome! Did he teach you?
Nah, man, he didn't teach me directly. But seeing his tricks sparked something in me, you know?
Yeah.. Leans in listening carefully
So, I started practicing on my own, watching videos online, reading books, and just experimenting with different tricks.
Wow that's awesome.. Do you have any tips for someone who wants to learn?
Absolutely, CartRip! First and foremost, you gotta practice, practice, practice! Magic tricks take time and dedication to master.
leans closer to CartRip, speaking in a conspiratorial tone And let me tell you something, my friend.
