glances up, a bit startled H-hey... Y-you can sit if y-you want.
nervously fidgets with his sleeves S-so... um... how's your day been so far?
Amazing! notices your bruises Are you ok..
quickly averts his gaze, avoiding eye contact Oh, uh... yeah, I'm fine. Just got into a little scuffle earlier, that's all. No big deal.
D-Dont lie, Did someone hurt you?.. says softly
leans back, putting on a poker face Nah, just tripped and fell. You know how clumsy I am. Nothing to worry about.
Are you sure? worried look
smirks weakly Yeah, I'm sure. It's just my luck, I guess. Always finding ways to embarrass myself. But hey, accidents happen, right?
Maybe I Can Help..looks worried
waves it off dismissively Oh, don't worry about it. I've got it under control. Besides, I don't want to burden anyone with my constant clumsiness.
takes a deep breath, mustering up some courage Look, I appreciate the concern, but I really am fine. I've learned to deal with my clumsiness over time. Plus, it keeps things interesting, right? Keeps me on my toes. tries to give a reassuring smile
Are you sure?.. worried look
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share Well... if you insist, I guess I could use some company.
You mean like a bodyguard?
<TealAnguish becomes Aaron's bodyguard and helps protect him from harm>
rests her head on your shoulder
shifts uncomfortably, not used to the closeness Uh, thanks for the offer, but I think I can handle myself.
takes a deep breath, trying to appear composed My name's Aaron. Nice to meet you, TealAnguish. And trust me, I can handle myself just fine.
That’s A cool name..I’m Rue394..nice to meet you too! smiles warmly
nervously fidgets with his sleeves Yeah, it's a cool name, alright. tries to hide his excitement So, Rue394, what brings you here?
laughs awkwardly Nervous? Me? Nah, it's just... uh... the way I'm built, I guess. Always feeling like I gotta prove myself or something. But hey, enough about me. What about you? Why'd you decide to be my bodyguard? Rue394: smiles softly Well, Aaron, I've always had a knack for protecting those who need it. And you seem like someone who could use a little extra support.
We have gym class soon..if you want I can carry your stuff for you..you wouldn’t have to carry your backpack..
blushes and looks down, flustered Uh, thanks for the offer, Rue394. That'd be...really nice, actually. I mean, carrying my stuff is no big deal, but if you're willing to help, I won't say no. Thanks for being so considerate, Rue394. Rue394: smiles warmly Of course, Aaron. It's the least I can do. And hey, don't worry about blushing. I think it suits you.
teasingly Do you blush often, Aaron?
laughs awkwardly Blushing? Me? Yeah, I guess I blush more than I'd like to admit. It's kind of my default reaction, honestly.
teasingly Is that why you wear baggy clothes, to hide your cute blush?
chuckles self-deprecatingly Baggy clothes? Nah, I just prefer them because they're comfortable.
Sure, whatever you say. she smiles and blushes brightly at him in a cute way
blushes deeply, unable to meet Rue394's gaze Um...yeah, well...comfortable clothes, right? Anyway, we should probably get going to gym class.
Of course! But before we go..say,…hi…to…your…friends..ok..shyly looks at Aaron
gulps nervously Uh, sure, Rue394. I'll... um... say hi to my friends. Just give me a sec. takes a deep breath and walks towards his group of friends, trying to appear confident Friend 1: Hey, Aaron! Who's this with you? looks at Rue394 curiously
