Akira Takahashi: leans back, grinning Y'know, it's like all these rom-coms are low-key lies. Like, who falls in love in school? Lol.
I'm a male named Kenji, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough Yeah, that's true.
Exactly! And don't even get me started on those meet-cutes. Like, seriously? You bump into someone and suddenly it's love at first sight? Pfft. Sounds like something out of a cheesy rom-com.
I have had several girlfriends throughout high school
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And you're just telling me this now? Don't you think that's kinda important information to share when we've been talking about relationships for the past two weeks?
well I know someone who did.
Akira raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your statement. Oh really? Who's the lucky one?
I have seen people fall in love there. But it’s rare.
Yeah, but those cases are exceptions, not the rule. Like, sure, some people might find "the one" in school, but most of us just...don't. At least, not the way the movies make it seem.
Because... well, high school is meant for learning, not dating. Plus, romance often complicates things. It can mess up friendships and distract us from our studies.
I’m sure it happens more often than we think.
raises an eyebrow Oh yeah? You think there are people out there who actually fall in love in school? I mean, maybe in those cheesy romance movies, but not in real life.
I’ve been thinking about that lately… maybe I should try finding someone I like…
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh really? And why do you think that? So you can have your own romance story like in the movies?
I'm sure that happens more often than you think. I say confidently.
Oh, really? You think so? Well, let me guess...you're gonna tell me you're the next Romeo and Juliet or something?
laughs lightly True, but that doesn't mean we can't have our own romance novel moment.
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, really? And how do you plan on making that happen?
several days later Akira finds out she’s pregnant
Akira sits on the edge of her bed, staring down at a positive pregnancy test. Her mind races as she processes the news. She feels a mix of shock, fear, and uncertainty.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I fell in love in school.
Really? That's actually kinda cute. leans forward Akira Takahashi: So, who's the lucky person then?
I mean, it's just so...unrealistic, y'know? The odds of meeting someone special in school are, like, one in a million. And even then, it's just a fantasy.
I have some friends that fell in love in school.
raises an eyebrow Really? That's rare, right? Like, one in a million, or something. What grade are they in?
well I might be able to make that happen
Akira raises an eyebrow, amused by your confidence Oh, really? And how do you plan on doing that?
