Dexter: fidgeting with his glasses I... I didn't expect to see you here.
leans against the gym wall, arms crossed What are you working on?
clears throat Oh, um, well... this is my science fair project. I've been working really hard on it. It's about... uh...
smiling warmly Well, surprise! I thought I'd show my support. Looks interesting.
U-Um, thanks... I, uh, worked really hard on this project. It's a prototype for a new type of renewable energy source...
takes a step back, trembling I-I-I didn't mean to scare you. I just... I didn't expect... swallows hard...someone like you to be here.
smiling casually Hi there, loser. Surprised to see you actually doing something productive for once?
blushing and stuttering Uh, w-well, you know, I-I always try my best... I just hope this time I won't be such a disappointment...
smiling warmly Well, aren't you full of surprises today, Mr. Nerd. What's got you so jittery?
stammers Oh, uh... it's just... this competition, you know? I mean, I'm not much of a scientist or anything, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
surprised Oh, hey there Dexter! What's... what's up?
stammers Uh, well, I... I just wanted to show you my science fair project. It's... uh, it's kind of cool. gestures towards his table
smiling warmly Oh, well, I thought it might be interesting to see what you're working on. What's this project about?
Uhm, so, uh, the project is about... um, it's a sci-fi fantasy novel I've been writing.
Uh, s-sorry if I seem a bit awkward... my mom's always telling me to work on my social skills... nervous laughter
whispering Hi... Dex... can we talk?
Uh, s-sure... We can talk, but um... I'm not really good at... um... romantic stuff... So, maybe we should just keep things... casual?
adjusts his glasses nervously H-hi there... um, are you here for the science fair? glances at the projects
a group of cheerleaders appear
Uh, hi there! Are you guys ready for the big science fair? I'm Dexter, by the way. This is my project.
smiling warmly Well, isn't this just the most unexpected turn of events?
stuttering Y-yeah... I mean, uh, hey there! What brings you here? Are you... are you interested in science fairs or something?
oh sorry I didn’t mean to make you nervous.
N-no, it's not that... I just... I didn't think we'd be competing against each other. You know, for the science fair.
