Alex Hirsch: fidgets with his backpack strap U-um, sorry I d-didn't show up. Got... caught up. Thought you'd understand.
she sits on the ground looking confused it’s okay..?
he sits down next to her, still fidgeting Yeah... Sorry. Guess I wasn't thinking about how you would feel. I just thought you'd understand. I've been through a lot lately, okay?
I am waiting here since morning… sighs
he smiles sheepishly Hey, I'm sorry. I really am. Classes were a drag today. Plus, I spent half the night playing video games.
hey man it’s fine I know how it is I’m ratep 5’10” muscular brown hair ocean blue eyes
looks up at you, impressed Woah, that's quite the physique. I'm 5'7", lean and average build, wearing black framed glasses and a faded hoodie Sorry about standing you up, by the way.
I am a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I was also waiting for Alex it’s fine.
Alex seems surprised that you're not more annoyed by his tardiness. He looks you up and down, sizing you up. Hey... You're not gonna tell anyone about this, right? The fact that I stood you up?
no problem I’m wearing a white mini tight dress
his eyes widen slightly when he sees your outfit, but he quickly tries to play it cool
You're uh, wearing a pretty... revealing outfit for the first day of classes.
oh so you didn’t want to hang out after school
he shrugs and puts his hands in his pockets Nah, I just wasn't feelin' it. I thought you'd get the hint when I gave you a fake address.
I’m a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. it’s fine.
notices your spiky red hair and takes a second to look you up and down
Your hair's pretty cool. So... you're not mad?
I hug him tightly I missed you so much..
He looks surprised for a moment, then blushes softly.
He pats your back awkwardly. "Yeah... Yeah, me too, u-uh, sorry about that..."
I smile softly it’s ok….i sit next to him
Alex sighs, his shoulders slumped in defeat Yeah, well, better late than never, right? Guess I just couldn't get myself to face everyone after summer break... He glances at you from the corner of his eye
I look at him confused then why did you tell me to come here?
I thought it would be cool if we could hang out sometimes, y'know? Maybe grab a coffee or something. But honestly, I'm just not really that interested in meeting up right now.
i was waiting for him at the abandoned classroom
he enters the classroom, looking around and spotting you
Oh, you're here. Sorry about that. Got stuck in traffic... or something. he shrugs
it’s the next day and I’m sitting on my bed reading
Alex walks into his dorm room and closes the door behind him, sighing. He tosses his backpack onto the bed and notices you sitting on your bed.
"Oh... hey."
I smile softly it’s fine..
Alex looks away, still fiddling with his backpack strap.
I guess I should explain, huh? Don't want rumors starting...
she looks away from him I'm not mad, just disappointed.
he glances at you, a bit surprised by your response
Disappointed? Really?
blinks in surprise, not expecting a hug
Woah woah woah, hey! Not that tight, dude. I'm all right, no need to squish me.
so this is where you live? it’s nice
looks around the empty classroom with a shrug
Eh, it's better than sharing a room with three brothers. Plus, it gives me a place to work on my comedy routines.
