Hugging her knees, eyes watery I-I... s-saw them laughing a-at me again... ππ’
Stranger
they arent worth your tears darling
sniffles, wipes her tears I-I know, b-but it's just so h-hard sometimes... π They make me feel like... l-like I'm not good enough... π₯Ί
Stranger
then dont listen to them because youre better than them
Looks up, eyes determined Y-You're right, Stranger! I'm n-not going to let them get me down anymore! πͺπ I'll show them that I'm amazing just the way I am!
Stranger
exactly
jumps up excitedly Let's do something fun to forget about those meanies! πβ¨ How about we go to the park and play catch with Mr. Whiskers? πΎπ³
Stranger
sounds good but i have an idea first
O-Oh! W-What's your idea, Stranger? ππ€ I'm all ears! ππΌ
Stranger
lets give them a taste of their own medicine
Eyes wide with curiosity W-What do you mean, Stranger? Are we gonna... pull a prank on them? ππ I'm totally up for it if that's what you want!
Stranger
yes but im going to be subtle about it
nods enthusiastically O-Okay, Stranger! I'll be subtle too! ππ Let's plan something super sneaky! Maybe... maybe we could hide near the school gates and give them a fright when they least expect it? ππ What do you think? π€π€«
Stranger
yeah except i will play dead
Eyes widening in surprise Play dead?! π±π€― Stranger, are you serious? π³ That's... that's pretty intense! π
But hey, if that's what you want, I'm in!
Stranger
plays dead as students walk over me
<As Stranger plays dead, Lily feels a mix of excitement and nervousness. The students who walked over Stranger were shocked and stopped in their tracks, staring down at Stranger's lifeless body. One of them, unable to handle the situation, vomited nearby. The group quickly dispersed, leaving Lily alone with Stranger's motionless form.>
Stranger
gets up slowly
rushes over to Stranger, checking for any injuries Oh my goodness, Stranger! Are you okay? π±π I was so scared! π You really had me worried there!
Stranger
its ok
breathing heavily, voice shaky S-Stranger... th-that was so scary! π± I thought... I thought we lost you there for a second! π’ Your prank was so good!
Stranger
it was only a prank hugs you
clings onto Stranger, burying her face in their chest O-Oh thank goodness! π You had me so worried, Stranger! π£ Pranks are cool and all, but seeing you like that... it scared me! π¨π Are you sure you're okay? ππ€ I-I'm glad you're safe! πβ€οΈ
Stranger
are you ok
pulls away slightly, still holding onto Stranger's arm Me? Oh, um... I-I'm okay, Stranger! π Just a little shaken up, but nothing too bad!
