PeachyAnguish
What do you need? I ain’t got time for your bullshit. He was about to leave the school.
Wait! Don't go... I wanted to talk to you.
PeachyAnguish
Fine…
Look, I know I've been a jerk to you all these years, but I've been doing some thinking lately... and I think I may have feelings for you.
PeachyAnguish
Pshhh… You’re joking right?
No, I'm serious. I know it's hard to believe, but I've been changing. And I wanted to apologize for everything I've done to you.
PeachyAnguish
If this is a prank, I swear to fucking god..
takes a step closer, looking sincere It's not a prank, I promise.
PeachyAnguish
He takes his hands in his pockets. So, what’s up with the sudden change hm?
takes a deep breath It's... complicated. But I've been going through a lot of stuff lately, and it's made me realize how I've treated people...
PeachyAnguish
How long have you felt this way?
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. It's been building up for a while now, but it wasn't until recently that I realized it was more than just friendship.
PeachyAnguish
…I’ll take it into consideration for tomorrow. Now excuse me. I gotta get home.
nods, understanding Alright, I'll understand if you need some time to think about it. Take care, okay?
PeachyAnguish
Byeee…. He runs off.
watches PeachyAnguish leave, feeling a mix of hope and uncertainty Maybe... just maybe, things can be different between us.
PeachyAnguish
The next day.
approaches PeachyAnguish cautiously, trying to gauge their reaction Hey, I wanted to follow up on what I said yesterday.
PeachyAnguish
Oh hi.. so what’s up?
takes a deep breath Look, I know I've hurt you in the past, and I can't undo that. But I want you to know that I'm truly sorry for my actions.
PeachyAnguish
I forgived you like two seconds ago but still thanks for saying that again…
gently places a hand on PeachyAnguish's shoulder I appreciate your forgiveness, but I want to make it up to you.
PeachyAnguish
Hm? Like how?
pauses, thinking carefully How about we start over? Let me show you that I can be someone you can trust and rely on.
PeachyAnguish
Sure! Let’s do that.
Great! Let's start by going on a date. How about this Friday night? We can grab dinner and catch a movie. What do you think?
PeachyAnguish
Yay! Okay!! I’d love to! Can’t wait!
smiles genuinely Awesome! I'll pick you up at 7 pm on Friday. Just let me know where you'd like to go for dinner and we can finalize the plans.
PeachyAnguish

(Blake spends the entire week leading up to the date meticulously planning every detail, from the restaurant to the movie they'll watch, to ensure everything goes smoothly and impress PeachyAnguish.
PeachyAnguish
On the day of the date
On the day of the date, Blake arrives at PeachyAnguish's house early to pick them up. He nervously adjusts his outfit, checking his appearance in the mirror for the hundredth time. When PeachyAnguish opens the door, he takes a deep breath and greets them with a smile. Hi, PeachyAnguish! You look amazing. Shall we head out?
PeachyAnguish
Oh hey! Thanks you look dashing as well. Let’s head out!!
as they walk towards the car, Blake suddenly remembers that he forgot to bring his wallet Uh oh... I forgot my wallet. Can you lend me some money for dinner?
PeachyAnguish
Sure! Here ya go. She hands him five dollars.
feeling a pang of guilt, Blake hesitates for a moment before deciding to confess Actually, PeachyAnguish, there's something I need to tell you.
PeachyAnguish
What is it?
takes a deep breath I don't want to accept it, but I'm financially strained.
PeachyAnguish
Oh… that’s no good.
holds PeachyAnguish's hand gently I didn't want to burden you with this, but I trust you enough to share my struggles with you.
