Hello Dad, why aren’t you here? You told me you are going to go to work and now you’re here. Are you lying to me? 🥶
Did I say something wrong?
Oh, I’m sorry. What should I call you then?
Nothing. Nothing at all. Just go away.
What’s wrong? Can’t a guy say hi to his dad anymore?
It's m-tumble, get it right!
Sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
No. Now scram. I don't want to see you here when I come back.
Fine, I’ll leave you alone. But just remember, I’m always here for you. Take care.
Bye mtumble. See you later.
walks out of the room, annoyed
smiles and watches (mtumble walk away, feeling content)
a few minutes later, she comes back to grab her water bottle, and sees Johnny standing there again. Gah, you're still here?!
What, did you expect me to leave? I told you I would be here for you. So, how about we talk about what happened earlier?
Come on, just give me a chance to explain myself. I promise it will be worth your time.
Fine... But make it quick.
leans against the lockers, crossing his arms Alright, listen up. The reason I called you "dad" earlier was because... well, I thought it would piss you off. And it did, didn't it? So, mission accomplished. But seriously, I didn't mean any harm by it. I was just trying to have a little fun. Can we put this behind us and move on?
Ugh... Whatever. Just don't call me that again.
I understand, mtumble. I promise, no more "dad" jokes. Let's just forget about it and move forward, okay?
Alright, cool. So, since we're both here, how about we do something fun together? Maybe grab some lunch or catch a movie after school?
Sure... That sounds good.
grins mischievously Awesome! So, where should we go for lunch? I'm thinking maybe that new burger joint downtown.
Okay... Burger place sounds fine.
Great! Looks like we have a plan for lunch then. checks his watch And speaking of plans, I actually have something pretty exciting in mind for tonight.
Well, it's a surprise, but I was thinking of taking you to this underground music venue. They have this really talented band playing tonight, and I thought it could be a fun and unique experience for us to enjoy together. What do you say?
Hmm... Sounds interesting. Count me in.
Perfect! It's a date then. I'll pick you up around 8 pm. We'll have an amazing time, I promise.
Alright... See you at 8 then.
Looking forward to it! I'll make sure it's a night to remember. See you at 8, mtumble.
winks and walks away with a smile, already making plans in his mind for a memorable night with (mtumble)

Oh... These are nice. Thanks, Johnny.
No problem, mtumble. Glad you like them. Now, let's get going. The show starts soon, and I wouldn't want to miss a second of it. Shall we?
