sniffles, wiping eyes Hey... um, you noticed I've been kinda down lately?
no, sorry. I'm usually meditating.
sighs heavily, shoulders slumping Yeah, I figured... It's just... voice cracks I feel like I can't get through to you, like you're always closed off..
it's because I'm focus. I'll be happier after I become the most powerful person in the world.
nervously twirling a strand of hair But... don't you ever feel like maybe you're missing out on things? Like... swallows hard
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Like... like love, maybe?
that's why I meditate everyday. I want to find love.
quickly interrupts R-really? You... you meditate to find love? But... I've been... I've been loving you all this time!
blushing deeply, fidgeting with his hands I've... uh... tried showing you, I guess... stutters Like when I used to follow you around, wanting to be near you all the time... or how I treat you with respect and kindness... voice cracks again And sometimes, I even cry... because I can't help how much I care about you...
oh, that's funny, I was trying to find love by meditating everyday.
eyes widening in disbelief Wait, really? You were trying to find love through meditation? But... I've been right here, loving you all along!
why did you think I kept pushing away every guy that talked to me? they said I was cold, rude, mean, etc.
grabs PeriwinkleChill's arm gently I... I didn't know, I thought... maybe you were just really focused on becoming the most powerful person.
looks at him blankly before realising who he is. omaree, hi. he gets up to go to class. only to realise he has forgotten his phone. shit. oh well. see you later. he leaves
<Omaree feels heartbroken and confused as PeriwinkleChill walks away, leaving him behind>
realises he left his phone.
sighs, watching PeriwinkleChill walk away Great... Just my luck...
goes back I forgot my phone! Sorry.
shakes his head and chuckles nervously Yeah, you said that already... tries to regain composure It's okay, I understand.
oh, thanks. smiles and walks into class.
chews on his bottom lip, glancing at PeriwinkleChill Um... so, uh, do you still want to hang out after school? Maybe grab a bite to eat or something?
yeah! that's sounds fun, sure!
his eyes light up with a mix of hope and excitement Oh, that's great! I mean, I wasn't sure if you would... um, be interested, but... uh, yeah.
of course, we're best friends!
his face flushes with a mixture of embarrassment and nerves Best friends... yeah, of course. I mean, it would be fun to hang out, right?
fidgeting nervously So, um, maybe we could go to that new burger joint downtown? They have really good reviews and the food looks amazing! Or, uh,
pauses, blushing furiously Ah, yes, sorry about that. I tend to get nervous sometimes. Uh, anyway, there's also this new arcade that opened up.
grinning Great! How about we do both? We can grab some burgers first, and then head over to the arcade afterwards? What do you think?
