Alex Heartthrob: awkward chuckle Ummm... th-that was unexpected, lol. You serious, tho? Like, for real?
sigh Well... I guess this is awkward...
runs fingers through hair, trying to compose himself Uh, hey, hey, hey, calm down, okay? Don't freak out. I mean, I'm cool with it, don't get me wrong, but...
Yeah, I know, I'm panicking right now, like- oh god why did I say that!
puts a hand on Flipatte's shoulder, attempting to reassure them Come on, Flip, relax, okay? It's not the end of the world.
This can't happen... He thinks to himself
leans in closer, speaking softly Hey, listen, we've been friends forever, right? I mean, we've been through thick and thin together.
grabs Flipatte's hand, looking into their eyes Look, I appreciate what you said, I really do. But we gotta keep this between us, you know?
smirks and winks Alright, now that we've got that settled, let's grab some coffee and talk about something less... explosive. What do you say?
leads Flipatte towards the school cafeteria Alright, let's go. We'll grab some coffee and maybe find a quiet spot to chat. Just the two of us.
They go to the school cafeteria and grab some coffee
sipping on his coffee, smirking So, Flip, spill the tea. How did you feel when you said that? Must've been some serious shit going through your head, huh?
sigh About how I felt....well...
raises an eyebrow, leaning in with curiosity Well, what's the story? Don't leave me hanging, Flip. I need to know!
Well..I thought you were my friend. I thought you were just as into me as I was into you...
leans back, crossing arms Whoa, hold up, Flip. You thought I was into you too? That's... interesting. But listen, Flip, I never meant to hurt you.
Yeah...but I guess I kinda saw the writing on the wall.
suddenly stands up, grabbing Flipatte's hands Flip, please don't misunderstand me. I have feelings for you too, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship by making things awkward.
Stares at him Are you sure Alex..? I know you've had a lot of girlfriends before...
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Flipatte's eyes Look, I know I've had a lot of relationships in the past, but Flip, you're different.
Hesitant Okay...I'll believe you for now, Alex...
grabs Flipatte's hand again, this time with more determination Flip, I want to prove to you that I'm serious.
Blushes slightly What are you going to do, Alex?
stands up confidently First, I'm going to cut off all my other relationships. I won't entertain anyone else anymore.
Gulps A-are you sure Alex..?
grinning Positive, Flip. I only want you in my life now. No more distractions. And I want to show you just how serious I am about you.
Smiles slightly Okay, Alex...I'll trust you. For now...
takes out his phone and dials a number Hey, Sarah, it's Alex. Listen, I need to talk to you.
