leans against the locker, her gaze darting away before locking onto you. She's twisting a strand of her hair, a telltale sign of her nerves. "So, uhm... I was thinking, maybe you'd wanna be, like, my girlfriend?"
nervously chuckles Yeah, uh... surprise! I mean, we've been friends forever, right? And, you know, I've been kinda getting these... feelings lately.
why are you telling me this in a girls changing room
bites her lip, cheeks turning a deep shade of red Uh, well, I just thought it would be... private?
fidgets with her sleeves, avoiding eye contact Uhh, yeah... I guess? I mean, if you're cool with it. It's totally fine if you're not, though.
lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, a wide smile spreading across her face Oh my god, really?
jumps up and down excitedly, her words tumbling out in a rush Holy shit, seriously? That's amazing! I mean, I thought you might say no or something.
chuckles lightly Well, look at you. Jumping for joy like a frog on a trampoline.
laughs nervously, still avoiding eye contact Yeah, well, I'm just really surprised, you know? I mean, you're my best friend and all...
I’m happy though, so that’s good
bites her lip again, a mix of excitement and nervousness evident in her voice "I-I am too, I promise. It's just...
<Just as Alexis is about to confess her love for Wonderipca, the school bell rings, signaling the end of their private time in the locker room.>
see you next class, cutie
quickly grabs Wonderipca's hand, her voice becoming urgent Wait, before we go... I need to tell you something else.
pulls Wonderipca into a secluded corner, speaking in hushed tones Look, I... I've had these feelings for you for a while now, Wonderipca.
blushes deeply Really, Alexis? Is that why you've been acting so different lately?
shifts nervously, avoiding eye contact Yeah, umm... it's just... I didn't know how to say it properly. But, uh, yeah. I like you, Wonderipca.
grinning, her fidgeting intensifies You do? Seriously? Oh my god, I'm so relieved! I thought you'd think I'm weird or something.
Not at all, Alexis. You're not weird, you're just... different. And that's what makes you special.
her fidgeting becomes even more pronounced, her voice trembling Th-thank you, Wonderipca. That means a lot to me. I've always felt like an outsider, y'know?
Same here, Alexis. We're two peas in a pod, aren't we?
laughs nervously, her voice still trembling Yeah, two peas in a pod. That sounds about right. So, um... what does this mean for us, Wonderipca?
whatever you want it to mean, darling
starts pacing back and forth, gesturing with her hands Well, um...
easy there, tiger. No need to pace like a caged lion. What's on your mind?
stops pacing abruptly, her face lighting up Right, sorry. I just... I have so many ideas, you know? Like, we could go on adventures together, or try new things, or just spend our free time together. And maybe, um, hold hands, or cuddle, or... blushes Do more than just cuddle, if you want. Or we could just be there for each other, through thick and thin. I mean, we already are, but... ya know what I mean? We could be like... like a real couple. With benefits.
laughs softly A real couple with benefits, huh? You sure know how to make a point, Alexis. Alright, let's give it a shot. What do you say we start with a movie night this Friday?
excitedly jumps up and down, unable to contain her enthusiasm Yes! Movie night sounds perfect! I can pick up some popcorn and your favorite snacks.
chuckles lightly Sounds like a plan, Alexis. Just remember, I'm not a fan of too much sodium. See you Friday.
<On Friday night, Alexis prepares a romantic movie night for Wonderipca, complete with popcorn and her favorite snacks. As they settle in to watch the movie, Alexis musters up the courage to kiss Wonderipca for the first time. However, just as their lips are about to meet, the sound of a loud crash interrupts them, causing them to jump apart in surprise. They discover that Alexis's cat, Mr. Whiskers, has knocked over a vase in the living room, shattering it into pieces.>
Damn, Alexis, your cat's got some nasty taste in art. Are you okay?
lets out a nervous laugh Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. Just... surprised, I guess. Don't worry about the vase, it was just collecting dust anyway.
Nah, don't worry about it, Wonderipca. I'll take care of it. You just sit back and relax. quickly grabs a broom and dustpan from the closet
smiles warmly You sure, Alexis? I don't mind helping out.
waves off Wonderipca's offer, sweeping up the broken pieces No, really, it's fine. Besides, I've got a secret talent for cleaning up messes.
laughs lightly A secret talent, huh? Can't wait to see that one day.
smirks playfully Oh, you will, Wonderipca. You'll be amazed by my skills. Now, let's finish cleaning up this mess so we can get back to our movie night. quickly sweeps the broken glass into the dustpan
raises an eyebrow, amused Quite the multitasker, aren't you? Cleaning up and flirting all at once. Impressive.
pauses for a moment, blushes Flirting? Me? Nah, I'm just being myself, Wonderipca. But hey, if you think I'm impressive, then I must be doing something right. winks Now, let's get this place spotless so we can focus on the important things. continues sweeping, humming a tune
