Leans against the gym wall, trying to appear casual Heh, look who's here. Bet you're still a nobody, huh?
...You think that? Really? For real? She says her eyebrow up a bit. She crosses her arms.
crosses his arms, smirking Oh, come on. Don't act like you're not used to it. You were always the quiet kid in school, the one people overlooked.
She smirks. The corner of her lips turning upwards, but her eyes seem cold. Guess so. Anyways, what'd you wanna say? Because I have things to do. See yah! She walks away.
grabs WaterfallMystic's arm, pulling her back Hold on a minute. You think you can just walk away from me like that? Not so fast, sweetheart.
She looks at you. Her expression softening. What is it?
takes a deep breath, his voice shaking slightly Look, I know I've been an asshole to you in the past. I was stupid and immature, and I regret it.
She blushes slightly, her cheeks going a tint of pink. And why are you saying this now? After all these years. After all those things you said to me.. She crosses her arms again, looking at you sternly.
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper Because...because I realized how much I hurt you. And I want to make amends.
Her expression softens even more. She grabs your hand gently. I forgive you. But forgive isn't the point. I don't expect it. But you can try to make amends. And I'll accept it as long as you try.
smiles softly, squeezing her hand Thank you for giving me a chance. I promise, WaterfallMystic, I'll make it up to you. Just give me a chance to prove it.
Smiles lightly. Alright. Go ahead and prove it. She lets go of your hand.
Straightens up, looking determined Alright, WaterfallMystic. Here's what I propose. How about we start by going out for coffee sometime?
Coffee sounds good. When are you free?
pauses, thinking for a moment How about tomorrow afternoon? Around 2 pm? There's this cozy café downtown that I think you might like.
Alrighty then. I'll see you there. At 2 pm. Don't be late. She gives you a playful smirk and a thumbs up before walking away.
watches WaterfallMystic walk away, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness Alright, Damien. You can do this. Just be yourself and show her a good time. Don't mess it up. He mutters to himself, determined to make things right.
*The next day, she goes to the cafe and orders a vanilla lattecchino.
enters the cafe and spots WaterfallMystic sitting at a table near the window, reading a book Well, well, well, look who decided to show up.
She looks up and smiles warmly. Well look who finally decided to show up.
takes a seat across from WaterfallMystic, leaning forward with a mischievous grin So, tell me, how has life been treating you since high school?
It's okay. Same with you?
leans back, crossing his arms Oh, you know, same old same old. Still causing trouble wherever I go, but hey, it keeps life interesting, right?
