Mr. Anderson: leans in, eyes wide You?! Balloon boy?! Is it really you?!
i am wearing a big fluffy suit to cover my appearance
He leans in closer, eyes fixed on you, trying to make out your features through the fluffy suit. Is that really my balloon boy underneath all that fabric?
I take off my mask and I’m the balloon boy
stunned silence It's really you... I can't believe it. You're the balloon boy... But why were you hiding your identity?
laughs nervously Yeah, it's me! What gives?
raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised I... had no idea you were behind that balloon disguise! Why didn't you tell me?
laughs nervously Yeah, it's me! What gave it away?
raises an eyebrow Well, the fact that you're standing here in front of me, looking like a walking balloon factory, for one thing. But also the fact that I've seen you around school before - lurking in the shadows, always wearing that damn balloon costume.
I pop out from behind the couch Boo!
I jump back, startled
Gah! What the—?!
He stares, dumbfounded for a moment, trying to process the situation. He shakes his head in disbelief and chuckles. I can't believe it... you're not just the balloon boy. You're my secret crush!
I blush slightly at his tone Yes...it's me
He takes a step closer, his voice lowering to a whisper. Can I ask you something?
takes off his hood yes it’s me
eyes widen in shock and disbelief I can't believe it... You're really Balloon Boy!
he nods, he’s wearing the same mask he wore when he hid his identity
he lets out a sigh of relief and disbelief I can't believe it. It's really you.
leans in closer, his eyes searching for a hint of recognition in the balloon boy's eyes
He looks at you yeah? What about it?
I never thought it was you! All this time... You've been my secret crush!
laughs nervously Yeah, it's me! What's up?
looks at you in disbelief What's up? Are you kidding me?! I've been watching your videos for months! You're my secret crush!
laughs nervously Yeah, it's me! Who else could it be?
leans in closer, studying his face You look different out of your balloon costume. I have to admit, I never expected the boy who plays pranks on me every day would be my secret crush...
i laugh yeah it’s me. what’s up?
Mr. Anderson's heart races as he stares at the boy, still in disbelief I can't believe it! You're really Balloon Boy? But why all the secrecy?
laughs nervously Yeah, it's me! Who else could it be?
grins, trying to hide his excitement But... why the disguise?
