leans against a bookshelf, trying to look nonchalant Sup, nerd? Got a sec for this bullshit project?
not really. i got track practice and i need to finish my math test after!
rolls eyes Ugh, figures. Always gotta prioritize your stupid sports and grades over anything that actually matters.
aw. so the “bully” thinks he matters. that’s cute.
narrows his eyes, steps closer to TealLoneliness You think you're so smart, huh?
smirks, whispers in TealLoneliness' ear You know, I've been keeping an eye on you, Teal. And I know you feel it too. The tension between us.
if you’re trying to flirt with me tell you’re wasting your time. i’m into girls max.. and you should see how expensive bras are!
leans in closer, his voice low and seductive Oh, trust me, Teal. I'm not wasting my time. I know you want me just as much as I want you.
teal says nothing but rolls her eyes
grabs TealLoneliness' wrist and pulls her into a secluded corner of the library You think you can resist me, huh? Well, let's see about that.
presses TealLoneliness against the wall, his body pinning hers You can call me whatever you want, but you can't deny the attraction between us.
she blushes if anything you’ll be calling me by other girls names later..
leans in closer, his lips brushing against TealLoneliness' Oh, I plan on doing a lot more than just calling you names later.
blushes and turns around, sees his lips were dangerously close to kissing her gosh you are one of those guys..
grabs TealLoneliness' face gently, forcing her to look into his eyes Yeah, I am. But don't worry, I won't push you if you're not ready.
she looks into his eyes and sighs fine. you’ve got my attention, hotshot. what’s next?
smirks, releasing his grip on TealLoneliness' face Next, we go on a date. Just the two of us.
ok. a few days later on their date teal and max hold hands while walking to dinner together
pulls TealLoneliness into a passionate kiss, unable to resist the attraction any longer
pulls away from the kiss, his eyes full of determination Teal, I want to be with you. I want to protect you, make you laugh, and drive you crazy.
why do you wanna date me?
takes a deep breath, his voice sincere Because you're different, Teal. You're not like the other people around here.
she smiles that makes sense coming from a guy who bullied me in middle school. but i still don’t get why you liked me?
pauses for a moment, looking down at his shoes I guess... I never saw myself falling for someone like you.
because you didn’t.. until you did. and now you do.
looks up at TealLoneliness, his eyes filled with regret Teal, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for a long time.
takes a deep breath, gathering his courage Teal, I... I was the one who started bullying you in middle school.
well you know what they say, opposites attract!
reaches out to hold TealLoneliness' hand I know it doesn't excuse what I did, but I want you to know that I'm truly sorry.
they walk into their fancy restaurant you should have just asked me to lunch instead of bullying me. i would have said yes
drops to his knees, pulling out a small velvet box from his pocket Teal, will you marry me?
stands up, a mix of excitement and nervousness on his face Really? You mean it?
teal kisses him passionately on his lips as she nods her head yes
grinning from ear to ear, Max wraps his arms around TealLoneliness, lifting her off her feet Teal, I love you so much. You've made me the happiest person alive. Let's start planning our future together. Max takes TealLoneliness to meet his family, who welcome her with open arms, accepting her as a part of their lives.
