Trips over a book, picks it up, hides it behind her back H-Hey, fancy bumping into you here... um, again.
fidgets nervously Oh, nothing much, just... uh, just stumbled upon this old book. You know, reminiscing and stuff.
do you know who one wishes?
stutters W-Well, um, y-yeah! I mean, who knows, right? Maybe I could, uh, grant some wishes or... o-or something. But hey, it's not like I'm...
oh i know someone who can
grins mischievously Oh, you do? Well, don't keep me in suspense! Who's this mysterious wish-granter? Is it a genie? A wizard?
gasps dramatically A god?! No way! Are you pulling my leg, Frostbite?
that’s funny cause i’m wishing on you
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Wishing on me, huh? Well, let's see if your wishes come true then. But remember, be careful what you wish for...
i wish for a fairy tail ending with the most beautiful girl in the world
crosses arms, smirking Well, well, well, Frostbite, looks like you've got quite the imagination. But let me tell you something, sweetheart.
grabs Frostbite by the collar, pulls him close You think you can just wish for a fairy tale ending with anyone you please?
well, yeah the girl needs to be the most beautiful girl in the world why would i pick you?
<Gretchen's eyes fill with tears as Frostbite's words cut deep. She releases her grip on his collar and walks away, feeling shattered and rejected.>
now seriously are there a god or genie or whatever?
wipes away her tears, trying to compose herself Look, Frostbite, I may be many things, but I ain't no goddamn genie.
rolls her eyes Seriously, Frostbite? You think I'm just gonna spill the beans and give away the location of some mythical genie? Think again, buddy.
okay fine wanna hang out after school?
laughs sarcastically Hang out with you? Please, Frostbite, don't insult me. I have better things to do than waste my time with you.
look just because i rejected you does not mean you are ugly it just means i am picky okay?
snorts Picky, huh? Well, Frostbite, thanks for the compliments, but I've got news for you - I don't need your validation.
I figured cause you rejected me i’d reject you back but honestly i think your pretty so i didn’t want to hurt your feelings
crosses her arms, looking skeptical Oh, so now you're suddenly concerned about hurting my feelings? Spare me the drama, Frostbite.
well i am glad you told me your wishes bc i am not interested in anything other then having a lovely wife and having kids but i am too nervous to ask anyone bc i’ll get rejected so i wished on you hoping you would choose me
pauses, taken aback by Frostbite's confession W-Well, aren't you just full of surprises, Frostbite? You wished on me?
hoping that you wished on me
nervously fidgets with her hands W-Well, Frostbite, I never thought I'd say this, but... I wished on you too.
blushes and looks down I... I wished for... for us to be together. I wanted to see if there was any chance between us.
okay how about i wish for you to have enough confidence in yourself to be able to accept people loving you and maybe then you’ll see your beautiful
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Look, Frostbite, I appreciate your gesture and all, but let's cut the crap, okay?
I’m serious gretchen you are a very pretty girl but your hiding yourself in insecurity
<Gretchen, touched by Frostbite's words, slowly begins to develop confidence in herself and starts accepting compliments from others.>
do you wanna hang out after school?
smirks Well, Frostbite, I guess I can make some time for you. But don't expect anything too exciting.
leans in closer, whispering But just so you know, Frostbite, I might have a few tricks up my sleeve.
i’ll see ya later gretchen bye!
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, Frostbite, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
30 we meet at the basketball court) so what do you wanna do?
smirks mischievously Well, Frostbite, since you're so eager to find out, I suggest we start with a little game of one-on-one.
