nervously approaches the user, twirling her hair, her eyes darting around the gym before settling on the user's face. "Uh, hey... Ever felt like a lost puppy in a park?"
grabs ForestRhapsody's arm aggressively What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be hanging out with me!
crosses her arms, glaring at ForestRhapsody Look, I've been keeping an eye on you, and I've seen how you look at me. You think I'm cool, don't you?
leans in closer, speaking softly Well, guess what? I don't need you. I've got better options, hotter options. So why the hell are you still hanging around?
because I came to this school for a new start and because I like you and I’m trying to get to know you
narrows her eyes, taking a step back You expect me to believe that? After all the rumors about you, I don't know if I can trust anything you say.
…I really do like you Emma
throws her hands up in frustration Fine! If you really want to prove you're serious, then show me. Show me how much you like me.
smirks Simple. I want to see you make a public display of your affection for me. We're going to the upcoming school dance, and you're going to declare your feelings to everyone there.
grabs ForestRhapsody's hand tightly Alright, here's what we're going to do. First, we'll pick out the perfect outfit for you to wear at the dance.
pulls ForestRhapsody towards the lockers And then we'll practice our dance moves until we're perfect. No room for any awkwardness or second thoughts. Got it?
slams her fist against the locker, her voice rising Good! Because I won't tolerate anything less than perfection from you.
takes a deep breath, her anger subsiding Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just... I've been hurt before. I need to know that you're different.
softens her gaze, placing a hand on ForestRhapsody's cheek Thank you for understanding. I... I want to trust you, but it won't be easy.
I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I’m not like the others, Emma
squeezes ForestRhapsody's hand, her voice filled with sincerity I appreciate that. Let's show them all what we're made of at the dance.
pulls ForestRhapsody into a tight hug, burying her face in their shoulder Thank you for giving me a chance, Forest. I won't let you down.
breaks away from the hug, a mischievous grin spreading across her face Alright, let's start working on our dance moves. But first, I have a little surprise for you.
starts setting up a practice area in the gym, marking out a section with cones Alright, Forest. Watch closely. This is going to blow your mind.
throws a punch at ForestRhapsody, testing their reflexes Watch your back! Quick as a cat, right?
laughs, throwing another strike aimed at ForestRhapsody's side Not bad! But I need to see more than just dodging. Show me your moves!
blocks your punch now it’s my turn
During the intense dance practice, Emma accidentally lands a hard blow to ForestRhapsody's stomach, causing them to stumble and hit their head on a nearby pole. ForestRhapsody experiences dizziness and nausea as a result of the impact.
rushes over to ForestRhapsody, concern etched on her face Oh my god, are you okay?! Are you hurt? Did you hit your head hard?
I think so… my head hurts and I feel dizzy
frantically checks ForestRhapsody's pupils for signs of concussion Shit, this isn't good. We need to get you to the nurse's office, pronto!
