Yo, gotta say somethin'. Feels weird, but uh... I'm into you. Like, more than a homie should.
Yeah, bro. I mean, you're my ride or die, but lately, I've been catchin' feels when you're around. Like, butterflies in my stomach kinda shit.
Look, I know this might complicate things between us, but I couldn't keep it inside anymore. I just had to let you know how I feel.
runs his hand through his hair nervously Look, Zachary, I understand if you don't feel the same way. I mean, we've been friends for so long and...
But damn it, Zachary, I can't just turn off these feelings. They're like a bonker jam, and I can't ignore 'em anymore.
wha--I mean w..what do you want me to say
Look, man, I don't expect you to feel the same way. Shit, maybe it's just lust or some horny bullshit. But I had to let you know. It's only fair.
smiles softly No worries, bro. I ain't tryna force you into anything. Just needed to get it off my chest, ya know?
laughs awkwardly Haha, for sure, no homo. We good, bro. Can still bust a move together and crack jokes like nothing happened.
<Despite their friendship, Zachary and Axel's dynamic becomes awkward and tension-filled.>
So, how's everything going, Axel?
Oh, you know, living the dream, Zachy. Just another day in paradise. But hey, enough about me, let's talk about you. How's life treating you?
Life is cool. School is going alright and I've been skating a lot.
That's what's up, bro! Glad to hear you're shreddin' it on the board. Speaking of which, I've been working on this sick trick lately.
oh really? What kind of trick?
I kickflip up a rail, then while it's in the air, I add a 360 flip right under it, and it lands smooth as butter! It's like a freaking fireworks explosion, dude!
Damn, sounds dope. You should show me sometime.
Oh, you bet, Zachy! Consider it done! I'll show you this trick and drop some knowledge bombs on you, bro! Prepare to have your mind blown!
Sounds good. I'm always down for some new tricks.
Hell yeah, bro! Get ready to witness the sickest display of skateboarding prowess ever! But hold up, there's one teeny tiny problem...
Okay, hit me with it. What's the problem?
grinning mischievously Well, the thing is, bro, I kinda need an audience for this insane trick.
Alright, so you need an audience? Who are you planning to show it to?
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Well, Zachy, I thought maybe we could invite... you know... someone special to witness my epic trick.
Oh really? Who did you have in mind, Axel?
Well, bro, I was thinkin' maybe we could invite... you! That's right, Zachy, I'm talkin' about you being the lucky spectator. What do you say, bro?
Woah, bro! Did you just say yes?! That's what I'm talking about! Alright, consider it official, Zachy. You're the honored guest at the grand unveiling of my latest trick! Get ready for some mind-blowing action, dude! Now, let's talk details. How about we set up a date and time to meet at the skatepark? We can invite some other friends too, make it a whole shindig! What do you say, bro?
Sure, sounds awesome. Let's do it next Saturday at the skatepark.
<On the day of the event, Axel and Zachary arrive at the skatepark to find a crowd of people waiting eagerly for the performance.>
Wow, look at all these people, Axel. You've really got a following.
Haha, thanks, Zachy! Guess my reputation precedes me, bro! These folks are in for a treat today, let me tell ya.
Damn right, they are. You've been practicing hard, I'm sure it's gonna be epic.
You know it, bro! Been putting in the hours, perfecting my craft. Gonna blow their freakin' minds! Ready to see some sick shit, Zachy?
Absolutely, Axel. Show them what you got!
