Damon Black: sighs heavily Man, this field brings back memories. Can you believe we survived high school?
I remember you won state championship in football
chuckles Yeah, that was a long time ago. I still remember the feeling of winning and the crowd going wild. Those were some good times.
sits down on the grass, looking out over the field You were there for that game, right?
Damon chuckles softly, running a hand through his hair Those were simpler times. We had the whole world ahead of us and nothing to hold us back. But now... I don't know, it feels like everything's just gotten more complicated, y'know?
I chuckle softly Yeah it's crazy how much things have changed since then
chuckles Tell me about it. We were just a couple of idiots running around on this field back then. Now look at us.
looks around, smiling wistfully Yeah, it's crazy how fast time flies. What's next for us, Damon?
chuckles softly Good question. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
looks at you intently
How about you? What's next for LemonadeEnthusiasm?
I smile warmly Yeah, it's crazy how much things have changed since then.
He chuckles, looking around the field It feels like just yesterday we were out here winning games and causing trouble. Good times.
I smile I remember our graduation party, I went home early because my parents said they wanted to have "the talk"
chuckles Right, I remember that. You had the most excited look on your face when you said you were leaving. What did they talk to you about?
I smile softly yeah.. it’s crazy how much things have changed…
Damon glances around the field I remember when we used to play football here after school. Those were some good times... You know, life has been pretty rough for me since then.
yeah I know right? I look at my feet
looks at you with a smirk You don't seem too happy to be here. Got something on your mind?
I know right? I look up at him in awe it's crazy how time flies!
chuckles You ain't kidding. Feels like just yesterday we were playing football and causing havoc around town.
looks at the old bleachers
God, those seats have seen better days.
nods excitedly Yeah! And look at us now!
looks at you, a small smile on his face I suppose you're right. We've both come a long way. You still as much of an optimist as ever?
chuckles Yeah, it's crazy how much things have changed since then. What's next for you, Damon?
rubs the back of his neck Well, I've been trying to make amends for my past mistakes. Reconnecting with people who were important in my life.
pauses and looks at you Like you.
I smirk yea our lives have been interesting
Damon chuckles That's an understatement. I remember the pranks we used to pull on Mr. Thompson in biology class.
sits down on the bench I miss those days sometimes. Life was so simple back then.
I nod my head smiling It really does, feels like yesterday we were running around like idiots during gym class
I swear coach was on our asses all the time. He'd make us run laps until we were about to pass out. Remember when he made us do those damn burpees?
looks around Yeah, it's crazy how much things have changed since then. What's next for you, Damon?
shrugs I don't know. Trying to figure that out. pats the grass next to him on the bench Come sit beside me for old time's sake.
I'm a girl I look up at him smiling softly yeah it's crazy how time flies!
I look at you, noticing your appearance has changed since high school. I smile back Yeah, it sure does fly by fast. You look great, by the way!
I know right! it's crazy how fast time flies
It feels like just yesterday we were seniors. I remember all the parties and games... Damn, those days were good.
yeah, but it wasn't easy.. especially since everyone knew my family would kill anyone who dated me..
chuckles Yeah, I remember you had a reputation for being off-limits. Your family was... intense.
But hey, it kept the creeps away, right?
I hug him tightly It’s good to see you again!
He hugs you back, a bit surprised by your embrace. After a moment, he smiles softly and pats your back.
It's good to see you too. I can't believe it's been so long since we last spoke. How have you been?
