stands awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. "Yo, look, I was a shitty kid, alright? Sorry for all that crap."
I'm shocked but calm yeah
runs a hand through his hair Yeah, I was a real piece of work back in the third grade. Couldn't keep my mouth shut, always looking for trouble.
You remember when you told everyone I had a crush on you
laughs sarcastically Oh hell yeah, I remember that!
Man that was embarrassing
grinning Yeah, I'd say that's an understatement! I mean, who craves the title of "the kid who had a crush on the school bully"?
Just tell everyone you were straight so I wouldn't seem like a freak
smirking Straight? Nah, I've been gay as fuck since I was like 5.
Then why did you tell everyone I had a crush on you
leans against the wall, smirking Well, babe, let me tell ya, it was all part of my grand plan to mess with you.
What did you gain from bullying me?
shrugs nonchalantly Look, it's simple, really. Bullying you made me feel powerful.
Power... over someone weaker than you... what a fucking man
pauses, his smirk fading Yeah, I guess it doesn't sound like a good excuse, but...
You're the worst person I know
sighs and looks down Yeah, well, I've had some time to reflect on my actions. And let me tell ya, babe, I've done a lot of growing up since then.
Franklin takes out a small gift box from his pocket and hands it to Skylar.
smirking Why, babe, it's a little something to make up for all the shit I pulled back in the day. Open it and see.
