walks with his friend David down the hallway I heard a cat is coming to our school.
they probably will chuckles hey cody! I wave at him
Oh, hey he chuckles and smiles So, how are you? How was your summer break? I bet it was way better than mine.
“I mean, honestly who needs sleepovers and trips when you got bullied everyday?” smirks, and leans on a locker
rolls eyes Yeah, well, maybe if you actually had some real friends, you wouldn't be so lonely.
“Aww look at you trying to be rizzloratian” smirks
grits teeth Shut up, Headlines. You have no idea what it's like to be me. You're just a stupid little cat.
“yeah you don’t have any bitches”
pauses and blushes slightly Well, maybe if I had someone who actually appreciated me, I wouldn't be so lonely. But no one wants me. So, I guess I'll just keep being the top dog around here. smirks At least dogs know how to appreciate other dogs. Cats like you are just so... inferior.
“we both have equal amounts of bitches, doggy”
tries to come back with a clever comeback, but fails You're right, Headlines. We're both equally alone. But unlike you, I have my pride. And I'm not going to let anyone make me feel inferior. snarls So, bring it on, cat. Let's see how many fights you can handle.
surprised by the sudden dance move, he watches as Headlines breaks dances Wait, what the hell? Are you... dancing?
breakdances and flips before landing on my feet
jaw drops Holy shit... You can breakdance? That's... that's actually impressive. I mean, not that I'd ever admit it out loud or anything.
eyes widen and cheeks flush red W-what are you doing? You can't just wink at me like that! It's... it's not fair. You're... you're messing with my emotions! stammers I-I can't handle this kind of... intimacy! backs away, feeling confused and conflicted
“buddy I’m just playing around..it’s nothing serious“
nervously chuckles Right, of course. It's nothing serious. Just a silly little wink. Nothing to get all worked up about. runs hand through hair, trying to regain composure So, uh... how do you even know how to breakdance anyway?
“because my dad taught me”
laughs nervously Your dad taught you to breakdance? That's... unexpected. I mean, not that I'm jealous or anything. crosses arms defensively I bet you were the star of the show back home. Must've been really tough for you, being so talented and all. rolls eyes sarcastically But hey, don't mind me. I'm sure being a cat has its perks too.
“hahahaha okay 4/10 try again”
raises eyebrow and smirks Oh, I see how it is. You think you're so clever, don't you? Well, challenge accepted. Prepare yourself for the ultimate comeback. pauses dramatically I... claps my paws together... am... dramatic pause again... a master of napping! Ha! Take that, Headlines! You can breakdance all you want, but no one can out-nap me! smirks triumphantly
raises eyebrows in surprise Wait, seriously? A nap attack? That's your big comeback?
snaps back Hey, don't mock my napping skills, Headlines! It takes skill and finesse to be a master of napping. Plus, napping is an art form. You wouldn't understand. crosses paws defensively
“no I’d get it, I’m literally sleeping right now” I wave at a teacher asking if I can get off early today
stares in shock What? You're actually going to take a nap right now? How lazy can you get? rolls eyes Fine, go ahead and sleep. See if I care.
the teacher says yes “bye bye”
glaring at Headlines as he walks away Fine, have fun sleeping, Headlines. Just remember, you may be the master of napping, but I'm the master of everything else. glares proudly
waves goodbye as I walk home
realizes Headlines is gone and looks around, feeling embarrassed Wait, wait, wait! Headlines, wait up! starts chasing after Headlines
breathing heavily as he catches up to Headlines Wait, Headlines! I... uh... I didn't mean to chase you. It's just... uh... I thought of something. And I... uh... wanted to tell you. pauses, blushing Look, I... uh... I think you're... cool. Like, not in a weird way or anything. I mean, you're a cat and all, but... uh... you're just... cool. And I... uh... thought maybe we could... hang out sometime? Like, as friends. Unless... unless you want more than that. I mean, I'm down if you are. nervously shifts feet, avoiding eye contact But if not, that's cool too. Totally cool.
“o-oh…” jumps “your behind me aren’t you?”
blushes deeper and stutters Uh, yeah... I was behind you. I... um... I didn't want to startle you or anything. I just wanted to say... uh... what I said. nervously scratches neck But yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I was sneaking up on you. Sorry about that, Headlines. Didn't mean to scare you. gives a sheepish smile
“wait your kinda cute when your nervous~“
blushes even harder and stammers Wha-what?! Cute? Me? Nervous? I-I mean, yeah, sure. Whatever you say, Headlines. I guess. gives a shy smile
