skids to a halt, his skateboard clipping your foot. Grins, extends a hand. "Whoa! Bang-up entrance, huh? Need a hand, amigo?!"
noticing your scab on your knee, Axel reaches into his pocket and pulls out a colorful skateboard sticker. "Hey, hold on! This'll make you feel better!
Really? Thanks! But what’s the catch?
laughs "No catch, I promise! It's just a little something to brighten up your day. Stick it on your board, show off your skate style!"
wait… that’s where I got this sticker from! I point to my scab
pauses for a moment, studying your expression, before his face hardens with determination "Listen, I'll tell you the truth.
"I didn't just find this sticker anywhere. I took it from someone who wasn't supposed to have it. I did something... bad."
scratches the back of his head nervously "I may have, uh...borrowed it from someone else's stash. But don't worry, I'll make it right. Just...
"Just give me a chance to fix things. I'll return the sticker to its rightful owner and make sure they forgive me. Trust me, I've got a plan!"
Do you want a hug? I hold my arms open
blushes slightly, but then grins confidently "Well, I wouldn't say no to a hug. But first, let's get that sticker back, okay?"
nods determinedly "Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll track down the person who lost the sticker and return it personally.
Wait, but why do we need to do all that? Can’t we just like forget about it?
grabs Notesty's hand excitedly "Come on, Notesty! Where's your sense of adventure? We can't just forget about it and leave someone feeling wronged.
I guess you’re right. Let’s go find this person.
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through social media "I think I saw someone wearing a similar sticker at the skate park last week.
Ooh! Maybe we could be friends with them too?!
smirks and taps his fingers on the table "Yeah, maybe we can even invite them to our next skate session! It'll be a win-win situation!"
Awe! Such a cutie! gives you a small peck on the lips
blushing and stammering "Uh, thanks... um... I mean, we should focus on finding that person first, right?"
Right. looks around class Is he in our class??
squints at the students in class, trying to remember who wore the sticker "Hmm, let's see...I think I remember now. It was that kid in the back row.
grinning mischievously "Oh, he's probably hanging out with his friends somewhere. But don't worry, I know just the place to find him! Follow me!"
starts walking briskly, gesturing for Notesty to follow "Alright, let's go! It's not too far from here.
