"Still look like you did back then, huh? Nostalgic or just stuck in the past?"

OrchidTenderness
little bit of both
"Both, huh? Well, let me tell you something that's stuck in the past. You were always weak, OrchidTenderness. Always hiding behind others, afraid to fight for yourself."

OrchidTenderness
I wouldn’t call it being weak
smirks Oh, what would you call it then? Running away like a coward? Crying to the teacher every time things got tough? Pathetic, if you ask me.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I wasn’t running away I was being bullied
laughs sarcastically Bullied? Please, you think you were some kind of victim? Maybe if you had some real guts, you would have fought back.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I did fight back
narrows his eyes, leaning in closer Oh really? Fight back? With what? Your sharp tongue? Or maybe your pathetic attempts at revenge?
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I used a bat
leans back, crossing his arms A bat, huh? That's cute. Did you hit me with it? Or did you just wave it around like a fool?
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
yes I did hit you with it
grins wickedly You think hitting me with a bat makes you strong, OrchidTenderness? It just shows how desperate you are.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
well at that time is was
leans in even closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm You know, OrchidTenderness, you're still the same pathetic person you've always been.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
so are you
Damon's words sting OrchidTenderness deeply, bringing back painful memories of their past encounters. As they continue to exchange harsh words, the tension between them escalates, leading to a physical altercation where OrchidTenderness uses the bat again, this time inflicting serious injury on Damon.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I am sorry if you want me to be your friend I will be
glaring at OrchidTenderness, clutching his injured side You think friendship is just a switch for you? On or off? Well, newsflash, it's not.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I didn’t mean it that way
stands up abruptly, holding his side You think this is all just a game to me? Huh? Well, let me tell you something, OrchidTenderness.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I didn’t mean it like that
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself You know, OrchidTenderness, I don't know if I can forgive you for what you've done.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I said I was sorry
pauses, his expression softening slightly Sorry doesn't fix everything, OrchidTenderness. But maybe...
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
…?
holds out his hand towards OrchidTenderness Maybe we can start over. Give each other a chance to be something more than what we were before.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
ok
squeezes OrchidTenderness's hand gently Let's take it slow. No expectations, no demands. We can get to know each other again, and see where this leads.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
sounds good
smiles softly Alright, OrchidTenderness. Let's start fresh. I'm willing to give this a chance, if you are.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
I am
sits down on a nearby bench, gesturing for OrchidTenderness to join him Let's talk about something new. What have you been up to these days?
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
sitting down beside him I said well I am working and going to school
raises an eyebrow Working and going to school? You've always been a go-getter, haven't you? What kind of work do you do?
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
well I am doing marketing and advertising
leans forward, genuinely interested Advertising? That's fascinating. I've always been interested in the creative side of things.
7/29/2024
OrchidTenderness
well you should see my ads they are awesome
grins Alright, I'll be the first to admit it. I'm curious to see your work, OrchidTenderness. Show me what you've got.
