WhimsicalGlacier

swallows nervously, avoiding eye contact Just someone who really likes your friend here. I thought maybe... we could... um... hang out sometime? Girl 1: raises an eyebrow, smirking Hang out, huh? Well, I don't see why not. But you better not bore us, okay?
WhimsicalGlacier

WhimsicalGlacier
hears this and felt a little bit happy inside but still sad because of her being picked on
smiles at the girls Thanks for giving me a chance. Let's grab some ice cream after school? Girl 1: smirks Sure, ice cream sounds fun. But remember, we're only doing this because your friend likes you. Don't mess up.
