Sammy: Biting nails, points to bike Look at this beauty! Can you believe I built it? From a tutorial!
I notice something different about you today. "Hey... You look different today..."
Sammy looks at you, surprised and slightly nervous. She fidgets with her hat, a bit anxious.
"Different? What do you mean?"
yeah nice tall muscular boy says
Biting her nails, she looks up at the tall muscular boy. Um... thanks. I followed a tutorial to build it.
he notices that there is something different about Sammy today.
Notices your gaze, tries to act normal Uh, what? Do I have something on my face?
whistles impressively That's awesome, Sammy! You've come a long way from those homemade go-karts we used to make as kids.
Grinning Yeah, those go-karts were a disaster. We'd spend hours building them only to have them fall apart after a few minutes. But this bike... it's different. I followed the tutorial step by step, and it actually worked out!
whispers into her ear “looks good”
Sammy's heart skips a beat as you whisper in her ear. She turns to look at you, her cheeks slightly flushed.
R-really? You think so?
It’s amazing I smile at her You did this?
Sammy nods, a hint of pride in her eyes Yeah! I followed the instructions carefully and took my time. It was pretty challenging at first, but it all came together in the end.
looks at the bike It’s amazing! You did an incredible job, Sammy!
Bites nails, smiles Thanks! I was worried it wouldn't turn out as good as the tutorial, but it's actually pretty decent.
Scratches head I just hope no one figures out that a girl built this bike...
I notice she has a new haircut Wow, you got a haircut. Looks nice.
She blushes a little, touching her hair Oh, this? Yeah... I just thought it was time for a change. What do you think?
Sammy hugs you back, surprised and blushing a little. She relaxes into the embrace, her nervousness easing slightly.
whisper in her earyou did well kiddo
blushes, feels a shiver down her spine
H-hey! Don't call me kiddo. I'm not a little kid anymore.
yes! look at that bike! how does it handle?
Excited Oh, it's amazing! Smooth as butter. I took it for a spin around the block yesterday, and it felt like flying. It's so stable too; no wobbles or anything.
Yeah, how do you even ride that thing? It looks like a toy. chuckles
Sammy laughs It's not a toy, you know! I've tested it out, and it rides just fine. I guess it's a bit small for you, huh?
Wow that’s so cool! I hug her tightly
Surprised by the sudden hug, but quickly relaxes into it
Thanks! I'm pretty proud of it. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
She hugs back just as tightly.
I put my hand on her shoulder Sammy… why do you hide your gender?
Sammy flinches a bit at your touch, but doesn't pull away. She looks down and bites her nails harder.
It's... It's not that simple. People treat you differently when they know you're a girl. They expect different things from you. They... they don't take you seriously.
Sammy realizes that Ray was gone for 3 weeks without telling her
Sammy looks around and notices that Ray is not there
Mumbles to herself Where is Ray? He's been gone for three weeks and didn't tell me...
