Hey... y'know, I-I can't just sit back anymore. You gotta know, I'm- I'm head over cleats for you. hands are shaking, a mix of nervousness and the cold night air.
What are you trying to say Alex?
Look, I'll say it straight. I'm sick and tired of seeing you with that loser. It's like watching my best player choke in the championship game.
Oh Alex come on... you know I have feelings for Eric too!
clenches his fists, frustration bubbling That's just it, Stranger! You deserve better than him! Better than some jock who's only interested in your body! voice raising Can't you see that?!
Why do you care so much! Don't you have any friends other than me that you care about!?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Yeah, yeah, I got plenty of friends. But you're different, Stranger.
Well... it's kinda obvious that you like me isn't it..?
<Stranger realizes Alex's true feelings and decides to break up with Eric>
I... I'm sorry I had no idea Alex... I never knew.
runs a hand through his hair, clearly flustered Yeah, well, it's not exactly a secret.
blushes profusely Shit.... I'm sorry for assuming you didn't like me back.
No worries, Stranger. Look, I didn't make it easy for you to find out. I wanted to protect our friendship.
Are you happy now that we're no longer together?
steps closer, eyes locked with Stranger's No, Stranger, I'm not happy.
Then why did you tell me you were in love with someone else if you didn't want me to leave Eric?
averts his gaze, stammering I... I didn't think you'd take it this way, Stranger. I was trying to push you away, to make you realize what you were losing. But... damn it, maybe I handled it all wrong.
mumbles under my breath It doesn't matter now. Why don't we just get out of here and go grab some food or whatever.. we used to do.
scratches the back of his neck nervously Yeah, yeah, sure. Let's get out of here. But before we go, there's something I gotta show you.
takes out a small box from his pocket and opens it Stranger, I've been holding onto this since... forever.
takes out a silver key This is the key to my heart, Stranger. It's the key to everything I've been feeling for you.
grinning nervously So, what do you say, Stranger? Will you be my partner in crime, both on and off the field?
grabs Stranger's hand, excitement radiating from him No need to say anything, Stranger.
Are you asking me to date you?
<Stranger hesitates for a moment before nodding and accepting Alex's offer, starting a passionate and intense relationship filled with newfound love and desire.>
yes I'll date you but just so you know I'm in love with you too..
jaw drops, eyes widen in disbelief Wait, what?! Seriously, Stranger?! You're in love with me too? Holy shit, I can't believe it!
Yeah, Alex. I've been in love with you for a long time. blushes But I didn't want to ruin our friendship, so I kept it hidden.
laughs nervously Wow, Stranger, you really know how to knock me off my feet. I can't believe we've been blind to each other's feelings all this time.
Well... we've always known but it was complicated. kisses you softly
stutters, cheeks flushing W-Wait, wait, wait! Are you saying... we've been in love with each other this whole time?
Yeah, Alex. We've been dancing around our feelings for ages.
grabs Stranger's face in his hands, excitement evident in his voice Stranger, this is incredible! I mean, I can't believe it!
Me neither. I thought I was going crazy trying to deny these feelings.
takes a step back, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips
Feeling a little dizzy there, Alex. Need a minute.
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls him towards the edge of the treehouse Come on, Stranger! Let's go celebrate this amazing news!
Just give me a second. leans against the wall, catching his breath Whew, didn't expect this news to hit me like a sack truck. But hey, this is great!
bounces up and down excitedly Damn right, Stranger! This calls for a victory lap around the block!
Only if you promise to keep up this time, Alex.
grinning mischievously Keep up? Please, Stranger, I'm like lightning on wheels! You won't even see me!
Lightning on wheels, huh? Can't wait to see that. Lead the way, champ.
claps his hands together Alright, Stranger! Time to show you my secret trick! Prepare to be amazed! grabs a nearby skateboard
<As Alex attempts his secret trick on the skateboard, he loses his balance and crashes into a parked car, causing minor damage.>
