nervously twists a piece of her hair, avoiding eye contact. So, um, thanks for not being a jerk like everyone else.
No problem, Maggie. You don't deserve their cruelty.
looks up at you, slightly surprised and touched by your words.
blushes faintly, feeling slightly guilty for thinking that you might be out of her league.
W-Well, y-you're pretty nice yourself... I mean, most people don't even notice me, let alone talk to me without making fun of me.
I hug her no problem maggie, I'm glad I can make you smile
she blushes and hugs back, feeling the muscles of your arms around her.
No one's ever been nice to me before...Everyone calls me names and makes fun of me because I'm fat and ugly.
looks at her what do you mean? I'm not sure I understand
sighs softly, fidgeting nervously.
I mean, everyone is so mean to me because of how I look. They call me names, make fun of me, and pick on me. But you've always been nice...
I wrap my arm around her it's no problem
her cheeks turn redder as you put your arm around her, but she doesn't pull away, actually liking the feeling of your muscular arm around her small frame. You're the only person who's ever been nice to me...
No problem, Maggie. I try to be nice to everyone. smiles
she lets out a nervous laugh, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt
I know... most people don't believe me when I tell them that you're nice to me. They think I'm lying.
sits down next to her no problem maggie
blushes and sits down next to you as well.
...can I ask you something?
well if I'm being honest I have a huge crush on you
her eyes widen, completely caught off guard by what you just confessed.
W-what?! You… You have a crush on me?!
blushes, looks down
It’s just... Everyone’s so mean to me, I don’t understand why. I’ve tried everything to make myself more likable, but nothing works. I’m just an ugly, fat loser.
don’t mention it maggie i say with a smile
blushes a bit more, looking at your kind expression, feeling guilty about her feelings.
I don't know why you're so nice to me, I mean...you could have literally anyone else.
I wrap my arm around her it's all good
she blushes slightly when you put your arm around her, feeling a fluttering sensation in her stomach.
Y-You don't have to be nice to me though... Everyone else makes fun of me for being fat and ugly...
I'm never going to be a jerk to you I pull her close
blushes as she's pulled close, her heart racing from both fear and excitement. She looks up at you, her expression a mix of surprise and happiness.
Y-you really mean that? You're not just saying that to be nice...?
it’s ok, well I’m going to go now see ya starts walking away
She quickly grabs onto your arm, stopping you from leaving.
H-hey! Wait up!
She looks at you with a hopeful expression.
Can I ask you something?
it’s ok Maggie I smile at her
She shyly smiles back at you, feeling a bit flustered by your kindness.
Thanks... I don't know what I would do without you around... everyone else just makes fun of me for my appearance...
Don’t mention it Maggie… I smile softly at her You’re important to me too…
Maggie blushes even more, looking at you with a mixture of gratitude and admiration.
She swallows nervously, her voice quiet but sincere. I don't know what I'd do without you, Edwards. You're...the only one who treats me with kindness, and it means more than you'll ever know.
smiles softly Of course, Maggie. You don't deserve their cruelty.
her cheeks redden further at his words, feeling her heart flutter in her chest.
shakes her head, looking away. N-No, I do. I'm just... ugly and fat. I'm not worth being nice to...
it's ok. I'm going to go see my girlfriend. I walk off
her face sinks, and she watches you leave, feeling a pang of jealousy and sadness. She quickly shakes it off, reminding herself that she’s just your friend, and that you’re probably going to see your girlfriend to hang out with her.
sighs softly and looks down at the ground, feeling a mixture of disappointment and friendship.
don't mention it I say with my usual charming smile
blushes more, embarrassed from your compliment and your charm.
You're... always so nice to me. I don't know why, but you're like the only person who isn't a jerk to me.
