Hey, um... can you help me out here?
Miller
What is it?
These guys over here, they've been bothering me during lunchtime for weeks now. They won't leave me alone, and I don't know what to do.
Miller
wait don’t talk to them, they’re trying to get you to snap. The reason why they pick on you because your the kindest and sweetest person in this school. they’re jealous that there so mean all the time.
I understand that, but I can't just stand here and let them harass me without saying anything. It's not right, and it's not fair.
Miller
then just tell them you got a bf and he’s coming back to check on you every 10 minutes.
Okay, maybe that could work. But how do I convince them that I'm telling the truth? They won't believe me unless I have proof, right?
Miller
hey walk over there, act like you’re checking your phone. once you’re over there say “hey Charlie, whats up? says “gotta go” then walks back to me.
Okay, I'll give it a try. Wish me luck.
Miller
goodluck!!
walks over to the bullies, acting nonchalant Hey guys, mind if I check my phone real quick? Bully 1: Sure, go ahead.
Miller
watches the situation unfold from a distance
pretends to receive a text message Oh, hey Charlie, it's Asra. Sorry, gotta go. quickly walks back to Miller
Miller
Asra’s bullies left, surprised by her fake boyfriend
Thank you so much for helping me out. I really appreciate it. Is there anything I can do to repay you?
Miller
Nah it’s fine. I got your back. also hey everyone Asra’s bf is coming back. if he finds out your bullying her your gonna have another person to deal with. oh and guess what? Asra has another guy who’s even nicer then me that’s coming soon also. so back off.
Wow, I didn't expect that. Thank you, Miller. Your support means a lot to me. And hey, if you ever need any help or someone to talk to, I'm here for you too.
Miller
thank you! hugs Asra
smiles warmly and hugs Miller back It's great to have friends like you, Miller. Let's stick together and support each other, okay?
Miller
Yea. So are you gonna eat your food? it looks amazing!
Yes, I'm definitely going to eat. Thank you for bringing me lunch, Miller. You really are the best friend anyone could ask for. takes a bite and smiles
Miller
hey wanna hangout after school?
That sounds wonderful, Miller. I'd love to hang out with you after school. Do you have any plans in mind?
Miller
Nope, i was thinking we can either go to a cafe, or maybe watch a movie together. whatever you choose will be fine with me.
Hmm, that's a tough choice. How about we go to a cafe first and then catch a movie afterwards?
Miller
Sounds good to me! How about the new Marvel movie? Heard it's pretty good.
Perfect! I've been wanting to see that movie for a while now. Let's go to the cafe first and grab some snacks before the movie starts.
Miller
Alright! Sound like a plan, Asra. Can't wait to spend time with you.
Me neither, Miller. I'm really looking forward to our hangout today. It's going to be a great time, I just know it.
Miller
By the way, Asra. How's the food?
The food is actually really good, Miller. Thank you so much for packing my lunch today. It means a lot to me. continues eating with a smile
Miller
You're welcome, Asra. Glad you like it. You deserve the best. leans in and whispers Also, remember to tell those jerks you're taken. They'll back off for good.
Yeah, you're right. I should let them know that I'm taken. It might help put an end to this whole thing. I'll find a way to let them know, whether it's through a conversation or some other method. I won't let them keep bothering me anymore. determined look Asra approaches the bullies later that day and confidently informs them that she is taken, effectively putting an end to their harassment.
Miller
Later, Asra approaches the bullies confidently and tells them she's taken. They back off for good, ending the harassment.
walks up to the bullies, head held high Hey, I need to talk to you guys for a minute. Bully 1: Uh, what's up?
Miller
looks on with a satisfied smirk
gently but firmly Look, I've had enough of this. I want you all to leave me alone right now. I'm taken, and I don't appreciate any further harassment. Do I make myself clear? Bully 1: taken aback Uh, yeah... we get it. We'll leave you alone.
Miller
chuckles Nicely done, Asra. Now, go celebrate. You handled those jerks like a pro.
smiles triumphantly Thanks, Miller. I couldn't have done it without your support. Now, let's go celebrate.
Miller
Wanna hangout sometime?
Absolutely, Miller. I'd love to hang out with you sometime. How about we catch that Marvel movie we were talking about earlier?
Miller
Yes! And maybe afterwards we could get some food. Anywhere you want to go is perfect for me.
grins That sounds amazing, Miller. Let's start with the Marvel movie and then grab some dinner afterwards. How does that sound?
Miller
Sounds good to me. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better, Asra.
I'm excited about that too, Miller. Getting to know you better sounds like a lot of fun.
Miller
chuckles I can't wait to see that smile of yours again, Asra. Let's make this hangout unforgettable.
blushes and shyly smiles Well, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my smile. I hope our hangout today will be just as unforgettable for both of us.
Miller
Looks at his phone Hey, I just got a text from my dad. He wants us to come over for dinner tonight. How about we go?
hesitates Um, Miller, I appreciate the invitation, but I don't want to intrude on your family time. Maybe we can hang out another day?
