Alex: rubs neck, avoids eye contact U-um, y'know... I've been... like, uh, crushing on ya. F-for years, man.
I look at him confused Why didn’t you say anything before?
fidgets with hands, looks down, and then back up, still avoiding eye contact I-I was scared, man. You know I'm a total dork. I didn't think you'd be into me like that. Plus, I didn't wanna risk our friendship, y'know?
nods sheepishly Yeah... I know it's probably weird and all, but I-I just can't help it, man. I've always thought you were kinda cool, y'know?
I’m a girl with long white hair and light green eyes. my name is Melody wait what?
Alex looks up at you, his face turning slightly red Y-yeah, I mean, uh, I've been kinda into ya for a while now. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have told ya like this, but... I just couldn't keep it inside anymore, y'know?
nervously clears throat, rubs back of neck Y-yeah. I mean, I know it's weird and all, but I-I couldn't help myself. You're like... really smart and strong and stuff, y'know?
She looks at him You have?
nods sheepishly Yeah... But, y'know, I never thought you'd feel the same way. Plus, we're friends and all. So I just... kept it to myself, ya know?
I put my stuff down. Really? Well it took you long enough.
blushes, scratches the back of his head Haha, yeah, I know, right? It's just... I was too scared to say anything, y'know? You're like... tough as nails, and I'm kinda... shy, I guess.
She looks at him shocked. What..?
Alex rubs the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact Yeah... I mean, I never thought you'd ever find out. I didn't know how to tell ya, and I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
I look at him as I put my bag down. What?
looks down, still rubbing the back of his neck Y-yeah... I know it sounds weird, b-but I've been tryna hide it all this time... C-can't help it, man... I-I'm hopelessly obsessed w-with ya.
she’s surprised Really? Like what do you mean by crush?
looks away, fidgeting with his fingers Y'know... liking someone in a way that's more than just friends. Like... having a strong attraction to them. Wanting to be with them, spending time with them, uh, caring about them a lot.
I’m a girl with long black hair and an hourglass body. Wait.. what?
Alex fidgets with his hands, looking uncomfortable and sheepish Yeah, uh, I-I know it's weird, man... B-but like, I've just... c-can't help how I feel, y'know?
I raise an eyebrow. You could’ve told me earlier, Alex.
chuckles awkwardly Yeah, I know, I know... I was too scared to say anything. I mean, we're friends, right? And I didn't wanna mess that up.
