Alyssa: fidgets with her coffee cup S-so, d-do you think anyone noticed my n-new skincare routine?
looks relieved Oh, g-good. I was w-worried they might think I'm t-trying too hard or s-something.
Travis bit his lip, looking at Alyssa’s face It’s better, babe.
Alyssa blushes slightly as you compliment her Thank you, it means a lot. But I'm still worried about those pesky zits that always seem to pop up at the worst times.
Alyssa asks me if I wanna be her boyfriend what??
blushes I-I mean... Y-you're always asking m-me about my s-skincare routine... And w-we spend so much time together... I thought maybe y-you'd want to...
looks away...be my boyfriend?
Travis bit his lip I have something to tell you…
Alyssa raises an eyebrow, intrigued by Travis's words
"Oh? What is it?"
notices your new skincare routine Yeah, I noticed. And honestly, your skin looks healthier already. What changes did you make?
looks down, fiddling with her fingers W-well, I've been using a new cleanser and moisturizer. And I've been trying out a toner as well. But the most significant change I've made is to stop popping my pimples. It's h-hard, but I know it's better for my skin in the long run.
Travis looked over his shoulder from the bar, nodding Yeah I have. Its looking good
blushes slightly R-really? You t-think so?
yes I did and it looks great! smiles
blushes a little R-really? Y-you're not just saying that to make me feel better, right?
I'm sure they have I smile reassuringly
blushes slightly Y-you think so? I was worried people would make fun of me or call me a nerd for using so many products...
looks down at her cup, swirling the liquid inside I just want to feel confident again, y'know?
Not really..but that’s cause you always wear makeup.
takes a sip of her latte I knowww... I just don't feel comfortable without it. My skin is still a mess.
sighs It's just so hard to deal with these zits. They pop up at the worst times.
I look her up and down no not really
exhales a sigh of relief Oh, thank goodness. I was worried everyone would be staring at me, thinking I looked like a walking pizza. she laughs nervously
I look into your eyes no I haven’t and if they did I wouldn’t care
looks away shyly Y-you're sure? I've been using it for t-two weeks now, and I'm hoping it shows...
he looks over at her I mean.....your skin does look better then last time.......but isn't that normal? I dunno.......
looks at him and pouts slightly No... I've been doing extra stuff. Moisturizing at night, using a spot treatment on blemishes, even trying out face masks... It feels like nothing's working!
she looks at you in the mirror and sees no change mhm. it’s fine
nods slowly, taking a sip of her coffee Yeah...I guess it's just my imagination. Maybe I'm just paranoid about my skin. Still, I can't shake off this feeling that people are staring at me...
He leans forward, whispering "Yeah, I heard. It's quite the transformation."
Alyssa blushes slightly, clearly flattered by the compliment
R-really? Y-you're not just saying that, right? I've been putting in a lot of effort into taking care of my skin.
yeah i mean who wouldn’t notice i laugh softly
blushes R-really? Y-you think I’m looking better?
Alyssa takes a sip of her coffee, trying to hide her excitement at your compliment.
