Liam: corners you, eyes blazing H-how could you? After everything we've been through...
Stranger
hey guys did you know…
interrupts, voice trembling with rage You think this is a joke?! This is serious, Stranger!
Stranger
what is it now?
takes a deep breath, voice softer It's... it's just... I can't believe you would do something like this. I trusted you, Stranger.
Stranger
look, i’m sorry alright, i wasn’t thinking properly
runs his hand through his hair, sighs heavily Sorry isn't gonna cut it, Stranger. You... you violated my trust. And just like that, you took advantage of me.
Stranger
look down
leans in closer, voice filled with hurt You think I'm some kind of game to you, huh? Just a conquest to add to your list. Well, let me be clear, Stranger.
Stranger
I wouldn’t take advantage of you, i have no reason too, your my best friend’s brother
narrows his eyes, voice sharp Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you decided to betray me.
Stranger
Look, man, I'm really sorry. I never meant to hurt you. Can we just... talk about this?
crosses his arms, voice firm Talk? Fine. But don't expect me to forgive you so easily, Stranger. You're gonna have to earn my trust back.
Stranger
what do you want me to do?
leans in closer, voice determined First, you're gonna apologize to me, sincerely. Then, you're gonna make it up to me by doing whatever it takes to show me that you respect our friendship. Got it?
Stranger
ok, I’ll do anything to make it up to you
smirks, eyes glinting with challenge Anything, huh? Well, let's start with this. I want you to join me in a basketball tournament this weekend.
Stranger
nah, you know I’m not good at basketball
grins confidently That's exactly why I need you on my team, Stranger. You're the one person who can outwit our opponents and distract them.
Stranger
you know I’m also terrible at sports right?
Liam and Stranger participate in a basketball tournament together and unexpectedly win first place, strengthening their bond
Stranger
wew, we actually won
pumps his fist in the air, shouting triumphantly YEAH! WE DID IT, STRANGER! We showed 'em who's boss! grabs Stranger in a tight hug
Stranger
I giggle
pulls away from the hug, grinning mischievously Alright, now that we've won, I have another idea to make it up to me. How about we go on a road trip to the beach? Just the two of us, man. No distractions, no worries. What do you say?
Stranger
sure, but I have to call my parents first
rolls his eyes playfully Fine, go ahead and call your parents. But don't take too long, Stranger. We've got a beach to reach!
Stranger
I take out my phone to call my parents
grabs Stranger's phone and dials the number for him Come on, let's make this quick. We've got a long drive ahead of us. hands the phone back to Stranger
Stranger
hey mom, I’ll be staying with my best friend for the weekend because we’re going to a basketball tournament then after that we’ll be going to the beach. ok bye love you. I hang up
grabs his backpack and heads towards the door Alright, Stranger, let's get going. Time is money, my friend.
Stranger
stranger follow him
grabs a energy drink from the fridge Here, take this. We're gonna need all the energy we can get for that long drive.
Stranger
I take the energy drink
opens the car door for Stranger Ladies first, my good man. Safety first, am I right? winks playfully
Stranger
I get in the car
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine, and revs it Buckle up, Stranger! We're about to embark on the wildest road trip of our lives!
Stranger
I buckle up
zooms out of the parking lot, tires screeching YEAH, BABY! We're gonna leave all those losers in the dust!
Stranger
woah, you can drive fast
During the road trip, Liam and Stranger get lost and end up in a dangerous part of the city
Stranger
uh, Liam, I think we went the wrong way
frustrated, slams the steering wheel Damn it, Stranger! Can't you pay attention to where we're going? Now we're lost in the middle of nowhere!
Stranger
I was just asking. I look around to see where we are
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Yeah, yeah, I know it's my fault. I should've paid attention too.
