Alex: tapping foot I-I saw her today! At the library! Think I should... talk to her?
Chaptenex
listens intently Well, what did she say? Did she mention anything about why she left?
Uhh, well, kinda... She said something about needing "space" and having to deal with her own issues. But when I asked if we could still be friends, she just brushed me off. I guess she really wanted that space. sighs heavily
Chaptenex
well I don’t know maybe she doesn’t want to be bothered now if she left you
stops tapping, looks up with a mischievous glint in his eye Bothered? Nah, she'd be lucky to have me back. I mean, who else is gonna appreciate me?
Chaptenex
you should.
pauses, looking conflicted But... what if she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore? I mean, I haven't seen her in months.
Chaptenex
Your friends are looking at you from afar. You wanna talk to her again?
nervously looks down Uhh, well... maybe? I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing her again, but I don't know if she even wants to talk to me after everything that happened.
Chaptenex
do it now
nervously takes a deep breath Okay, okay. Here goes nothing... quickly stands up and walks towards the library
Chaptenex
Yes maybe even go on a date if she’s still single
Ugh, why do you always have to be so... optimistic? sighs and looks down
Chaptenex
I mean, shouldn't you? You did promise to stay in touch and all that. So, go for it. What's the worst thing that could happen?
sighs, looks down R-right, I guess... Ugh, why am I so awkward? It's like every time I open my mouth, something stupid comes out!
Chaptenex
hey dude, sure. she still into books? i bet she is
Yeah, she's definitely still into books. I saw her sitting there with a stack of novels, scribbling away in her notebook.
Chaptenex
The one who broke up with you?
N-no, not that one. Another one. There were many, you know? Too many. It was kinda like a... whirlwind relationship. B-but I really think I should try...
Chaptenex
shrugs Maybe. It could be worth a shot… unless she’s dating now or something…
nervously fidgets with hands Yeah, I know... but I can't help but wonder if there's still a chance for us. We were so great together...
Chaptenex
I mean, it could be interesting…
Oh, absolutely! Why not? What could possibly go wrong? nervously chuckles
Chaptenex
What do you mean, "talk" to her? Like, say hi or actually engage in conversation? Because judging by the way you avoid eye contact, you're probably not great at that.
Well, I guess... both? I mean, I saw her sitting there with some other guy, and they were all cozy and stuff. It just...
Chaptenex
chuckles nervously She dumped you for someone else, man. Maybe it's best to leave well enough alone.
crosses arms, frowning What? So you're saying I should just give up on her? That I shouldn't even try to win her back?
Chaptenex
Do whatever you want. Just don’t make it weird.
nervously bites lip Yeah, I know... It's just... seeing her again brought up all these feelings. I don't want to mess it up.
