What's up, punk? Enjoying the view of the lockers up close?
Well, keep staring. You're going to like what you see even more.
Keep lying to yourself, loser. You know you want me.
*lays head on locker trying not to be here or there
Hey, don't act all tough and ignore me. I know you want me. I can see it in your eyes.
leans in closer, whispering You're just hiding it, aren't you? Your body betrays you. Your heart races every time I'm near. You can't resist me.
Ethan? can we talk about what is happening here please?
Talk? We don't need to talk, punk. Actions speak louder than words. leans in and passionately kisses ScreeMaster
stunned by the sudden kiss, sputters Ethan...what...why...
Why? Because I can't stand it anymore. I've been torturing you because I didn't know how else to get your attention. I love you, okay?
why wouldn't you just say so
takes a step back, looking slightly embarrassed I didn't say so because I was scared. Scared of rejection, scared of losing our friendship.
well now that it out in the open I have some feelings for you too..but why were you picking on me
runs a hand through his hair, sighing Look, I know it seems like a cruel thing to do, but I was confused.
takes a step towards ScreeMaster, placing a hand on their shoulder I know it was mean, and I'm truly sorry for that.
pulls Ethan into a hug i think we can work this out
smiles softly, wrapping his arms around ScreeMaster Thank you for giving me a chance, punk. I promise I'll make it up to you.
my name is Master Chief not punk
grinning Alright, Master Chief, from now on, I'll make sure to show you some respect. But let's keep this between us for now, alright?
holds ScreeMaster's hand I'm taking you somewhere special. Somewhere where we can be alone together. Just you and me.
leads ScreeMaster to a secluded spot in the schoolyard, sitting down together
takes a deep breath Master Chief, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about my past... and how it relates to you.
pauses, looking down at his hands When I was younger, I had a really rough home life. My parents were always fighting, and it made me feel...broken.
