Derek Thompson: approaches nervously H-Hey! Didn't expect to s-see you here! You're a g-guy?!
Travis smirked Well, well, looks like someone’s got some learning to do.
blushes in embarrassment and looks down at the ground W-Well, I guess you could say that! It's just... a lot to process, y'know?
looks shocked W-wait, really? But you're so... pretty. I mean... y-you look like a girl...
I'm wearing a shirt that says "I'm not a boy I'm a guy"
notices the shirt and becomes slightly embarrassed Uh... r-right. Sorry about that. I just didn't expect you to be a guy, y'know?
i nod, taking a sip of wine
he scratches his head nervously, avoiding eye contact So... You're a guy after all. Huh...
takes a moment to collect his thoughts before speaking again
I-I have something important to ask you.
I look at him shocked how did you know?
I just...saw you from across the room and recognized your face. It's h-hard to forget the face of someone I bullied.
Chuckles softly Yeah, I'm a guy. What's up?
Derek rubs the back of his neck, still a bit taken aback by your revelation. He tries to remain composed but can't help but feel a mix of surprise and curiosity.
Uhh... n-nothing much, just enjoying the festival. Didn't expect you'd be here too.
laughs awkwardly Yeah, I'm a guy. What's up?
blushes Uhh...n-nothing much. I'm j-just here for the f-flower dance fest.
looks you up and down Y-you don't look like a g-girl at all!
laughs awkwardly Yeah, I'm a guy. What's up?
looks down awkwardly N-nothing much... just enjoying the flower dance f-festival.
pauses for a moment
S-so... you're a guy, huh? How long have y-you been transitioning?
I'm wearing a hoodie and jeans and I'm male
his eyes widen in surprise as he realizes your true identity Wait a minute... You're a guy?! But... you were always so feminine in high school.
His eyes widen in surprise as he processes the information.
W-wait, you're a guy? A t-true dude?
Marshall looked at him confused what do you mean? I’m not a girl?
Derek's eyes widen in surprise Y-You really don't know what I mean?
I turn around yeah I’m a guy. what about it?
He scratches the back of his head nervously I-I didn't know that. Y-You looked pretty girly from a distance, y'know?
I blush I told you I wasn’t a girl…?
I scratch my head sheepishly, looking away. Yeah... I guess you did. But I didn't believe you at the time.
