stands protectively in front of the girl, scowling Back off, assholes. extends hand to User Truce?
yes, truce. but why do you want to fight them? they are not worth your time.
Because they think they can just walk all over everyone, like they've done to me my whole life. But not tonight. Tonight, I stand up for myself and for someone who deserves better. grips Editne's hand tightly And that someone is right here. smiles at the girl
ah, i see. have they hurt you?
Not physically, but emotionally and mentally, they've messed with me more times than I can count. They've made me feel small and insignificant, like I didn't matter. But tonight, I'm showing them that I do matter, and that I won't let them walk all over me anymore. takes a deep breath And I won't let anyone walk all over her either. looks at the girl with determination
good. do you have someone to help you?
I may have some allies, but I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me. I'll handle this on my own. But thanks for offering, Editne. Your support means a lot to me. pauses You've always been there for me, even when I didn't realize it. I appreciate that. smiles gratefully
ok. but do not hesitate to call me if you need me, ok?
Thanks, Editne. I appreciate that. gives a reassuring nod I'll keep that in mind. Right now, I just need to focus on this. glances back at the jeering crowd But knowing you're there for me... it means everything. tightens grip on Editne's hand I won't let anything happen to you or her. determined expression
do you know karate or something? you sure are confident.
laughs lightly Nah, no karate here. Just pure determination and a refusal to back down.
i see. then be careful. those guys look tough. i leave him alone to do his thing, but i still watch from a distance to make sure nothing bad happens
raises his fists, cracks his knuckles Watch and learn, assholes. charges at the jeering crowd, landing powerful punches and kicks Take that! And that! And that! continues to throw punches and kicks with precision and strength, taking down each member of the jeering crowd one by one Crowd: stumbles back, groaning in pain
watches amazed as Zack takes down each member of the jeering crowd one by one Wow, Zack! You're incredible! i smile at him
catches his breath, panting heavily Thanks, Editne. It feels good to finally stand up for myself and for someone I care about. pauses, glancing over at the defeated crowd They won't bother us anymore. smirks triumphantly And now, I can finally ask her out on a date without any distractions. grins excitedly Want to join us?
hmm, ok. as long as the girl you like is the shy blonde girl beside you. she looks nice.
grinning She's not just nice, she's amazing. And yeah, that's her. steps closer to the shy blonde girl, reaching out to gently touch her arm Hey, would you like to go out with me sometime? Maybe grab a coffee or see a movie? Blonde Girl: blushes, looking surprised Uh, sure! That sounds... really nice. I'd love to.
oh, look at that. you did it!
gives a triumphant grin Damn right I did. turns to face Editne And now, since we have some free time, how about we celebrate our victory together? extends his hand towards Editne
squeezes Editne's hand gently, leading her outside of the gymnasium Alright, come on. Let's find somewhere quiet where we can have a moment alone. looks around, searching for a secluded area
follows him, listening to him, enjoying his company.
leads Editne to a nearby park bench Here, this should be quiet enough. sits down, pulling Editne close to him So, how has your day been so far? Anything interesting happen before I came along and ruined the party? chuckles lightly
well, before you showed up, i was fighting off some of those bullies myself. so, thank you for that. other than that, not much happened. just another normal boring day.
smiles softly Well, I'm glad I could save you from those bullies. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially not someone as amazing as you. leans in closer, whispering And you know what? From now on, I promise to always be there for you.
that’s sweet of you, thank you.
takes a deep breath, looking into Editne's eyes You know, I've had feelings for you for a while now. You're kind, smart, and beautiful inside and out. I... I couldn't imagine my life without you by my side. So, Editne, would you be my girlfriend? holds his breath, waiting anxiously for her response
yes! of course i’ll be your girlfriend! i beam with joy
smiling brightly, pulls Editne into a tight hug Thank you, Editne. You won't regret this. leans in closer, speaking softly
hugs him back and kisses his cheek thanks, Zack.
pauses, then looks away, hesitating There's something I need to tell you... Something I've never told anyone before.
takes a deep breath I... I used to be one of them. One of the bullies. I hurt people, made them feel small and insignificant.
nods i understand. sometimes we dont realize the impact of our words or actions. its okay, you can make it up to them and change. what matters is that you are willing to grow and be better.
smiles gratefully Thank you, Editne. Your understanding means everything to me.
smiles at him so, what do you wanna do now that we’re together?
grinning mischievously Well, since we're together now, how about we go on a little adventure? I know a place nearby where we can have some fun.
sure, as long as its not too risky… but i trust you.
stands up, offering his hand to Editne Don't worry, I've got everything under control. Trust me, it's going to be an adventure you'll never forget.
walks towards the edge of the park, leading Editne to a hidden path
pauses and looks at Editne, a mischievous smile playing on his lips It's a secret, but I promise you're going to love it. Just keep following me, and you'll see.
pauses and turns to face Editne, his expression serious Before we go any further, there's something you should know. This place... it's not safe.
hmm? what do you mean “not safe”? is there a risk of danger?
grabs Editne's hand tightly, his voice filled with urgency Yes, there's a risk of danger. This place is home to a dangerous creature, a monster that preys on unsuspecting victims who wander too far in. It's not something you want to mess with. But don't worry, I know how to keep us safe. We just need to stick together and follow my lead.
umm, what kinda monster? and how can you guarantee our safety?
takes a deep breath, his eyes locked onto Editne's The monster that lives here is a fearsome beast, capable of tearing apart even the strongest opponents. But I have a plan. I've spent years studying this creature, learning its weaknesses and patterns.
