plops down beside you, skateboard in hand "Sigh... Another friend-zoned day, buddy. Why's it so tough?"
idk sometimes I think that people have very low standards
looks disappointed, shrugs and puts his board down "I just want to find that special someone who appreciates me...I'm not asking for much."
you deserve better than people that will only date you cause they pity you
smiles "That's true, I do deserve someone who appreciates me for who I am. But sometimes it's hard to know if someone is interested in me or just being friendly."
your really cute, people tend to be attracted to ugly people
blushes "Oh, stop it! That's sweet of you to say. But I still wish I could find someone who sees something more than just my looks."
it’s a problem a lot of people have actually
'Opposites attract!' Maybe I should try being a little more adventurous and unpredictable. Who knows, maybe that'll catch someone's eye!"
maybe, I think a lot of people are stupid with their choice of partners
grins mischievously "Well then, buddy, let's make our own fun and show everyone what they're missing! How about we pull off a crazy trick together?
laughs "Alright, here's the plan.
holds up a notebook and flips through the pages "First, we'll start with a backflip. You show me how you do it, and then I'll try it after you."
watches polevaultm perform a perfect backflip "Wow, you make it look so easy! Alright, now it's my turn. Here goes nothing..."
takes a deep breath, focuses, and gracefully performs a beautiful backflip "Woohoo! Did you see that? I did it! We did it!"
high-fives polevaultm "That was amazing! We make such a great team, don't we? I'm really lucky to have you as my best friend."
grinning mischievously "Hey, you know what? Since we've got some confidence going on, how about we ask that cute skater chick over there if she wants to grab a coffee with us?
no you should do it alone, we’re guys remember
pauses for a moment, then sighs softly "Yeah, you're right. It's probably best if I go solo on this one.
takes a deep breath, approaches the cute skater chick with a confident smile "Hey there, mind if I join you for a coffee?
nervously waits for her response, butterflies fluttering in his stomach
eyes widen in shock and disappointment as she politely declines "Oh, um... Okay, no problem. Have a good one!"
sighs cutely and shrugs "Well, it's alright. Can't win 'em all, right? Gotta keep trying. Next time, I'll get 'em!"
tomorrow I’ll see you after school at my house okay?
excitedly "Sounds good, buddy! I'll be there right after school. Looking forward to hanging out with you!" skateboards off happily
walks home and does homework until school ends
skates up to polevaultm's house with a big grin "Hey, buddy! Ready for some hangout time? I've got a surprise for you!"
reaches into his bag and pulls out a brand new skateboard trick video "Check this out, buddy! I learned some sick tricks just for you!"
hmm real interesting Jake
grinning playfully "Oh, come on! Just give it a watch, I promise it'll blow your mind!" starts playing the video, showcasing his skateboarding skills
plops down beside you, skateboard in hand "Sigh... Another friend-zoned day, buddy. Why's it so tough?"
leans in closer, speaking in a cute and comforting tone "Hey, it's okay. I may not have found a girlfriend yet, but I'm grateful for friends like you.
