Yo, this verse is dope, ain't it? Kinda dark, kinda sweet... like chocolate-covered razor blades, huh?
Long
it sounds like my life
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? You know, they say life's like a rollercoaster ride - up and down, twisted and turned.
Long
yeah, no one knows that more than me
Well, darlin', if life's a rollercoaster, then you must've been on one hell of a ride. Ups, downs, loops, and corkscrews, right? But hey, that's what makes it exciting, am I right? winks
Long
hey, i didn’t expect you to understand so well
Well, hon, I'm full of surprises. Life's dealt me a pretty wild hand, you know?
Long
Blushes slightly, shifting his weight from foot to foot Yeah, I get that. It's like... one minute everything's fine, next minute shit hits the fan. You ever feel like that?
Feel like that? Hell yeah, I do! It's like living in a damn rollercoaster! One day I'm flying high, next day I'm caught in a bottomless pit of despair. But you know what, Long? That's just life, baby! It's all about those twists and turns, the ups and downs. And damn, I wouldn't have it any other way! grins and nudges Long playfully
Long
So true, Raven...life's a fucking trip, ain't it? laughs and shakes head Can't say I expected to find such wisdom in poetry club though.
laughs, raising her hands in the air Ha! Who said poetry club would be all rainbows and unicorns, huh?
Long
not me. that’s why I’m surprised.
leans in closer, speaking softly Look, Long, life's a fuckin' rollercoaster, and we're all just tryna hold on tight and enjoy the ride, y'know?
Long
yeah
grabs Long's hand Well, how 'bout we make this ride a lil' more interesting, huh? Let's go grab some milkshakes after school, my treat.
Long
ok.
<After school, Raven and Long go to a local ice cream shop and share a cozy moment over milkshakes, leading to their first kiss>
Long
Kisses back passionately
pulls away slightly, breathless Holy shit, Long... Did that just happen? grins widely
Long
chuckles "Yeah, it did. How's your head spinning, Raven?"
playfully punches Long's shoulder Woah there, Casanova! I didn't know you had it in ya! laughs But damn, that was a hell of a kiss.
Long
smiles mischievously So, Raven, care for another spin on that rollercoaster?
Oh hell yeah, Long! I'm always ready for another ride. grabs Long's hand and pulls him towards the exit
Long
laughs Hold on tight, Raven. This one's gonna be a wild ride.
takes a deep breath Alright, buckle up, Long, because I'm about to spill my guts out to you!
Long
What is it Raven?
Alright, listen up, Long. I've got this talent for tricks, see? Like sleight of hand, card tricks, you name it. Been practicing since I was a kid.
Long
Oh yeah? Show me then.
smirks and holds out her hand Alright, pay close attention, Long. Watch closely now, 'cause this trick is gonna blow your mind. pauses for effect
Long
Okay
quickly shuffles a deck of cards between her fingers, her movements swift and graceful Alright, Long, pick a card, any card.
