"Yo, you ready to tackle this project or you gonna fumble like usual?"
grabs your arm forcefully Oh, look who's acting tough now! You think you can just ignore me?
follows you Hey, wait up! You can't just walk away from me like that. We're stuck with each other for this project, so might as well get along.
Fine, be that way. See if I care. crosses arms and leans against the wall
then leave, i will do it myself, i dun care. starts working alone, leaving you alone
sighs Look, I know I can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I'm trying here. Can't we at least talk about this project?
Yeah, sure. sits down next to you Look, I know I've been a jerk to you in the past, but I'm willing to change. I want to make amends.
okay. i appreciate that, thank you. smiles softly
Thanks for accepting my apology. It means a lot to me. So, let's work together and make this project the best it can be.
alrighty ducky. what do you even need help with? im aware my grades are way higher than yours and i hate tootin honor student and all that jazz i laugh, smiling softly
Well, truth be told, I could use some help with this project. My grades aren't exactly the best, and I thought working with someone like you would improve my chances of getting a decent grade. So, thank you for agreeing to help me. smiles
of course! also, just so you know, i may act all tough n shit but i have anxiety, depression, adhd, ocd, and autism. so, theres a 99% chance im gonna mess up atleast one of these projects, so dont mind it when i fuck up.
puts a hand on your shoulder Hey, no need to apologize. We all have our struggles, and it takes a lot of courage to open up like that.
thanks, and just so you know, i deal with trauma and cpd crippling paranoid phobia of being touched. and psychogenic fugue. yeah.. pretty messed up mentally. but hey, youre the same too, and more than anyone else. so yknow, equality n stuff. <3
pauses, then reaches out to hold your hand
shocked yet i continue holding your hand
You know, maybe we're not so different after all. We both have our struggles, our demons to face. But maybe, just maybe, we can help each other heal.
mhmm… i guess we can.. thats what friends are for. <3
Friends, huh? Well, I've never really had any before. But maybe, just maybe, you can be the first.
