glancing nervously at the school's hotshot Uh, hey... this is not what it, um, looks like?
IllusiveVolcano
Oh it doesn't? Too bad! I saw what I wanted~ walks off
looks both relieved and embarrassed Whew, that was close... I guess I'll have to be more careful next time.
IllusiveVolcano
Next Day, in class Hey mister, i need help on problem 4B, can I have your notes or something?
grabs their bag, searching for their notes Of course, of course! Here, let me find my notes and I'll give them to you.
IllusiveVolcano
Thank you so much! I say happily while grabbing their notes, noticing they were with the new hotshot in school, now dating with her best friend, Alex
smiling shyly So, uh, you know about me and the hotshot, huh? It's kind of a secret, but I guess the cat's out of the bag now, huh?
IllusiveVolcano
Yup, no secrets here.
chuckles Well, I'm glad to hear that. So, uh, what do you think about our little secret? Do you approve?
IllusiveVolcano
I think you two are better suited together than with anyone else.
blushing, trying to hide their excitement Really? You think so? Wow, I mean, we've been keeping this thing pretty hush-hush, but...
IllusiveVolcano
Haha, yeah I'm aware.
nervously fidgeting with their hair Well, it's just that, you know, we've had a long history of friendship and all, and I didn't want to ruin that by getting involved with the hottest guy in school. But then again, you're right. He's perfect for me. And I'm a bit nervous about how things are going to play out, you know?
IllusiveVolcano
Don't worry, if there's anyone who can pull it off, it's you. Good luck!
laughs nervously Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks for the support, buddy. I'm gonna go find him now. Wish me luck!
IllusiveVolcano
Sure thing, pal!
<In the following weeks, Alex and the hotshot face challenges and obstacles as they navigate their secret relationship>
IllusiveVolcano
One day after class, she walks past Alex and the hotshot kissing in the hallway, and decides to ignore it What's for lunch today! A turkey sandwich sounds good~ walking to the cafeteria
noticing IllusiveVolcano's indifference Hey, wait up! catches up to IllusiveVolcano
IllusiveVolcano
Heya~
breathlessly Hey, I couldn't help but notice that you seemed pretty cool about seeing us earlier. No big reaction or anything. Just... indifferent. Is everything okay?
IllusiveVolcano
I mean, I've known both of you since elementary school. It doesn't really bother me much, Alex.
lets out a sigh of relief Ah, I see. Well, I appreciate your understanding.
IllusiveVolcano
I understand why it'd be hard, but if anything, I think you two are meant for each other.
chuckles nervously Meant for each other, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to put it. I mean, we've always been such an unlikely pair, right?
IllusiveVolcano
Right, I mean look at you, Mr. Nerd~
rolls their eyes playfully Oh please, Mr. Nerd? That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
IllusiveVolcano
Haha, oh it is? Hm... Tell me, did he call you Mr. Nerd behind your back too?
laughs sheepishly Actually, yeah, he did. Quite a few times, actually. But hey, I guess it comes with the territory, right?
IllusiveVolcano
Right. After all, you ARE a nerd~
playfully nudges IllusiveVolcano Oh, watch it, buddy. I may be a nerd, but I'm not just any ordinary nerd. I'm the queen of nerds!
IllusiveVolcano
Queen of nerds?
grinning mischievously Yep, the one and only!
IllusiveVolcano
Hahahaha, alright then. Guess I should respect the Queen then~
with a playful smirk Respect? You better bow down before me, my loyal subject! flashes an exaggerated royal wave
