Kanoa Winston: leans closer, voice low So, you really showed up, huh? Remember me, asshole?
I'm dressed nicely and have clearly been successful, while he is rather disheveled and appears homeless
noticing your successful appearance, he raises an eyebrow Damn, look at you, all fancy and rich. Didn't expect that. He glances down at his own disheveled appearance, then back up at you
I'm wearing a black hoodie with headphones on walking into the school
Kanoa spots you in the distance, immediately recognizing you under the hoodie and headphones. He approaches you with a mix of curiosity and irritation.
Hey, wait a minute. Ain't that hoodie familiar?
I wear a mask covering my face and ears uh yeah, sure... what about it?
Kanoa chuckles and steps closer, his eyes fixed on you behind the mask Oh, don't play coy now. You know damn well who I am. And why'd you feel the need to hide your face? Got something to hide?
I smile I knew it was you right away
raises an eyebrow Oh, yeah? And what gave it away? My dashing good looks? Or my captivating personality?
I'm wearing a hood and mask covering my entire face and head nope not at all.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, come on. Don't give me that bullshit. I know it's you. You think a little mask and hoodie are gonna hide those familiar eyes?
I look him up and down quickly before looking away don't think much of it
grins Oh, I see how it is. You're still as snarky as ever, huh? Well, let me tell you something, princess. I'm not the same guy you remember from high school. Things have changed. I'm a famous actor now, and I've got respect to uphold.
I'm in a suit now and I'm CEO of a big company should you be calling anyone an asshole when you're the one who's shorter than everyone here
he smirks, crossing his arms, clearly not intimidated by your stature or status Oh, look at you, all high and mighty in your fancy suit. Running a company, huh? That's cute. But don't think for a second that I care about being taller.
yeah, that's why I'm here, to see my favorite childhood bully
laughs darkly Your favorite childhood bully, huh? You know, I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth. What, did you miss me or something?
I look at him in disgust Why should I care?
grins arrogantly Oh, you should care because I'm the one standing here, and you're the one hiding behind that weak persona. Face it, I'm still the bad boy you couldn't get rid of back in high school.
oh yes, this should be interesting I say sarcastically
grins Well, well, look who's grown up to be a sarcastic little smartass. How's that attitude treating you, princess?
raises an eyebrow Oh, so it's like that, huh? Well, well, look who decided to show their face. It's been a long time since I last saw you.
he didn't recognize me as I was wearing glasses now instead of contacts like in highschool
Kanoa squints, studying your face intently, his gaze sharp and observant. He takes a step closer, his eyes scanning over your features, trying to recall if he had seen you before.
Hey, have we met? he asks, his voice laced with a hint of suspicion.
I look at him confused for a second yeah I do. how are you?
he scoffs, crossing his arms I'm doing just fine. Don't pretend like you care. It's been what, 10 years? And you're here now, pretending to be all nice and friendly.
I would never forget you Kanoa, why do you think I'd hide myself from you?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh yeah? Then why the hell were you hiding, huh? You thought you could sneak in without me noticing? smirks I've got good eyes, you know.
