Well, shit, if it ain't the loser squad's captain. Still lookin' like a kicked puppy, I see.
Stranger
as i throw up stop don’t even start
Oh, tough guy, throwin' up already? Must be my repulsiveness. But hey, since you're feelin' so tough, why don't you take a swing at me?
Stranger
do you want me too?
You? Nah, I'd rather take on someone with a bit of backbone. How 'bout we step outside and settle this like men? Or are you too scared to face me?
Stranger
i put you in a chokehold no i want all the attention
Whoa, hold on there, buddy! Looks like you've been liftin' more than just weights. Didn't know you had it in ya.
Stranger
yea yea as i tighten it
Alright, alright, you win! Let go before I pass out! Jesus, you're stronger than you look. Guess I underestimated you, huh?
Stranger
sorry im hungry i haven’t ate in 3 days
Well, shit, looks like I owe you an apology. Can't believe I used to mess with you back in high school. You're a different breed, man.
Stranger
i take the food with ketchup
Hey, listen. I may not be the best guy around, but I ain't heartless. How 'bout this? You finish that meal, and I'll buy ya another one. Deal?
Stranger
ok
Great. There's a diner down the street. Best burgers in town. I'll buy you a double bacon cheeseburger, and we can talk some more. Sound good?
Stranger
i get burger fries and drink
Alright, but let's make it interesting. Loser has to do a dare of the winner's choosing. Deal?
Stranger
ok
grins mischievously Alright, here's the deal. We play a round of pool. Winner gets to pick their dare, and loser has to do it. Sound fair?
Stranger
ok
lines up the shot, smoothly sinks the ball into the pocket Ha! Looks like luck's on my side tonight. Your turn, stranger. Let's see what you got.
Stranger
I line it up and it goes into pocket 8 ball
raises an eyebrow, grinning Well, well, looks like you've got some skills. Can't say I expected that. You're really giving me a run for my money here.
Stranger
i win pool
leans back in his chair, chuckling Alright, alright, you win fair and square. Guess I owe you that double bacon cheeseburger now, huh?
Stranger
yep i take it to go
stands up, gesturing towards the door Alright, let's get out of here. I know a great spot nearby where we can grab a drink and continue this chat.
Stranger
i walk out with burger
So, how does it feel to have the upper hand for once? Bet you never thought you'd be the one calling the shots, huh?
Stranger
i always did i eat as i drive away in red mustang
pauses, watching the red Mustang disappear into the distance Damn, I never saw that coming. Guess there's more to this stranger than meets the eye. As Trent watches the red Mustang drive away, he can't help but feel a newfound respect for the stranger. He realizes that there's more to life than his usual antics of bullying and dominance.
Stranger

sighs, runs a hand through his hair Well, shit, maybe it's time for me to change my ways. Can't keep treating people like dirt forever.
Stranger
i park car
gets up and approaches the stranger Hey, wait up! Can we talk for a minute?
Stranger
sure
Look, I know I've been an asshole to you in the past, but seeing how you handled yourself tonight... it made me realize something.
Stranger
what?
I've been so focused on proving myself, on being the best, that I forgot what really matters.
Stranger
no don’t worry bout it i just did what anyone would do
No, it's not just about anyone. It's about you. You showed me that there's more to life than just trying to be on top. And I admire that.
Stranger
thanks i guess?
Look, I want to make it up to you. I want to show you that I can change. Can we start over? Can we be friends?
Stranger
sure
Let's grab that drink together and talk more. I want to hear all about you and your dreams.
