I guess wishing for a miracle was too high school drama, huh?
Stranger
what do you mean
What I mean is, who needs friends when you've got this face, right? rolls eyes and tries to muster a smile But seriously, it's just another day.
Stranger
well I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
Oh, don't worry about it. It's not like you owed me anything anyway. Just another reminder that I'm invisible to everyone, including my own family.
Stranger
really now
sighs heavily Yeah, really. It's like I'm just background noise, you know? Nobody notices me unless I'm being a pain in the ass.
Stranger
oh no I can see someone notice you
snorts Oh yeah? Who exactly is noticing me? The dust bunnies under my bed? The boxes stacked up against the wall?
Stranger
I notice you
raises an eyebrow Is that so? And how exactly do you notice me?
Stranger
because I'm sitting talking to you aren't I
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Yeah, I guess you are. But it's hard to believe sometimes.
Stranger
well believe it
leans back, crossing her arms defensively Alright, fine. You've got my attention.
Stranger
what are you doing today
<Raven hesitates for a moment before opening up to Stranger about her deepest fears and insecurities>
Stranger
Wow... you're actually letting me in, aren't you? That's... brave.
shrugs, trying to hide her vulnerability Yeah, well, maybe I'm just feeling generous today. Or maybe I'm just tired of pretending everything's okay.
Stranger
want to go out tonight
pauses, contemplating the offer Well, I suppose going out might be a good distraction from this monotonous existence of mine.
Stranger
So, how about it? Are you in or out?
smirks Well, I guess I can always use some excitement in my life. Let's go out and get into some trouble, shall we?
Stranger
haha ok let's go
stands up abruptly Alright, but let's set some ground rules. No cheesy rom-coms, no chain restaurants, and absolutely no slow dancing.
Stranger
ok deal
puts on a confident smirk Great! Now let's start planning our night of mischief and mayhem. We'll show this boring town what we're made of.
Stranger
Let's do this, Raven. Lead the way!
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through local event listings Alright, let's see what kind of trouble we can stir up.
Stranger
Hmmm, let's hit up that new arcade downtown. Heard they got some pretty cool games.
grinning mischievously An arcade, huh? Sounds like a plan. But let's make it interesting.
Stranger
How so, Raven? You got some tricks up your sleeve?
winks Oh, you have no idea. How about we make a little wager? If I win at any game, you have to do whatever I say for the rest of the night.
Stranger
Deal. But if I win, you owe me a kiss. How's that sound?
<As the night goes on, Raven and Stranger engage in a heated competition at the arcade, their competitive spirits fueling their desire to win. As the games come to an end, Raven realizes she has lost every single one, leaving her no choice but to fulfill her end of the deal. With a mischievous glint in her eye, Raven leads Stranger to a secluded corner of the arcade, ready to fulfill her promise.>
Stranger
Hmm... okay, Raven. Show me what you got.
smirking, takes a step closer to Stranger Well, Stranger, prepare yourself for a night you won't forget.
Stranger
Bring it on, Raven. I'm not easily impressed.
raises an eyebrow, a sly grin forming on her lips Not easily impressed, huh?
