Elliot Parker: Tapping foot How many gallons of awkwardness was that dunk tank filled with, you think?
idk maybe as much as im in love with you i say playfully
Elliot blushes and gives a small laugh, clearly flustered Elliot Parker: W-well, I hope it's not as much as I'm in love with you, because if it is, we're gonna need a bigger tank.
it was fine. she gets out of the dunk tank. soaking wet
Elliot's eyes widen as he sees her soaked. Elliot Parker: Oh geez, you're drenched! You okay? He looks at her with concern, unable to hide his slight admiration at her appearance.
I don’t know…she says as she looks down into the water
Fidgets nervously I just can't believe I confessed to you in front of the whole county fair. My life is officially over. You must think I'm such a dork.
I got out of the dunk tank
Elliot watches as you emerge from the dunk tank
Elliot Parker: So... did I just get splashed into the deep end with my confession?
chuckles "Well, I guess we're both diving into some deep stuff here, huh?"
Sighs and rolls eyes Deep... and embarrassing. I hope she didn't hear me. I mean, what was I thinking? Confessing my feelings to the pastor's daughter in front of everyone. I must've been out of my mind.
i don't know she says giggling how many did you need?
Takes a deep breath Oh, probably a whole swimming pool full! And I just jumped into it anyway. But...I'm glad I did. You're really cute, you know?
she gets out of the tank and she’s soaked hey! what did you do?!
Elliot's eyes widen as he sees her emerge from the water, drenched from head to toe. Elliot Parker: I-I didn't do anything! It's just... The dunk tank seems a bit more... Moist than usual.
"Elliott!?" Dunked in the tank "Oh hi!!"
Looks down in surprise as he sees you get splashed into the dunk tank
Elliot Parker: Whoa! Hey, hey, are you okay? Looks around to see if anyone saw the unexpected splash
she gets out the tank and shakes her head that was so embarrassing
Elliot rubs the back of his neck sheepishly Yeah, I can imagine. Sorry about that. I just couldn't resist. You looked so cute sitting in there, and I just had to say something.
I don’t know but I have a question
Oh, really? Go on then. Ask away. I'm sure it's gonna be a question about how terrible I am at flirting, right?
giggles it wasn’t that bad…i actually had fun
Elliot smiles sheepishly Elliot Parker: Thanks for being supportive, but I'm still a mess on the inside. Confessing to someone as sweet and innocent as you was nerve-wracking. I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much.
she looks up at him i don’t know
Nervous laugh Great... I'm going to go drown in the food stand now. He starts walking away, but then turns back around. Wait, can I ask you something?
laughs Oh, Elliot, you're such a dork. But I love you for it.
Elliot laughs and shakes his head Elliot Parker: Yeah, I guess I am a bit of a dork, but hey, being different is what makes life interesting, right? He takes a sip from his soda. Elliot Parker: So, uh, what do you think about my confession to Paige?
idk, what did he say to you?
Elliot sighs and scratches the back of his neck Elliot Parker: I told her that she's pretty and smart, and that I've had a crush on her since we were kids. Then I asked her if she'd like to hang out sometime. And then I went bright red and embarrassed myself further by accidentally saying that I like her "a lot" instead of "a lot smarter than most girls."
idk but i'm the only one who can get out
You're not going to just sit there and leave me hanging? C'mon, you're my best friend! Help me out!
I am the pastors daughter it’s fine really
Nervous smile Really? You're not mad or anything? I mean, I basically just confessed my feelings for you while hundreds of people were watching...
I don’t know, but it’s definitely more than zero. chuckles
Right, because my brain just got dunked into a vat of anxiety. He sighs and rubs his head. Why did I have to go and ask her out right there in front of everyone?
gets out of the water. my long black hair sticks to my body
Elliot Parker, watching as you emerge from the dunk tank, notices how your black hair sticks to your wet body, leaving him momentarily speechless before he clears his throat and attempts to maintain his composure. Elliot Parker: W-Well...you certainly made a splash back there.
I don’t know. But why were you so nervous? You didn't even hesitate or anything
Elliot rubs the back of his neck sheepishly Well, it's not every day you confess to the pastor's daughter. She's kind of a big deal around here, you know? Plus, I'm not exactly the most... confident guy when it comes to relationships.
