"Great, feel like I'm on some crappy reality show. Cue dramatic exit?"
ChariZerp
I continue watching and giggling along with the other girls
"Real mature, ladies. Can't believe I trusted you guys." walks away from the table, trying not to look angry
ChariZerp
🤣🤣🤣
"Yeah, keep laughing, you idiots! Bet you're all just real fun-loving people. Can't wait to be friends with you!" slams his backpack shut and storms out of the room
ChariZerp
😂😂😂😂😂
bangs his fist against the wall, tears welling up in his eyes "Damn it! Why do I always let myself get into these situations?"
ChariZerp
“Damn nerd” I giggle
falls to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably "Why am I such a failure? Why can't I ever have any friends?"
ChariZerp
“I’m your friend..i would never mock you”
looks up at ChariZerp, eyes red and puffy "Really? You're actually my friend? Like, for real?"
ChariZerp
“yeah dude that’s why i didn’t join in.. I know what it’s like to be bullied”
sniffs and wipes his tears away, then offers a weak smile "Thanks, ChariZerp. I guess... I just... I don't know how to handle all this sometimes. But maybe... maybe we can hang out sometime, or something? If you're cool with that?"
ChariZerp
“of course I’ll hangout with you, your funny”
"That means a lot, ChariZerp. Thanks for giving me a chance. Let's start off with grabbing a bite to eat. How about we hit up that new burger joint downtown? My treat."
ChariZerp
“yeahh sure”
smiles brightly and extends his hand for a handshake "Deal! I'll see you after class, then. And hey, if anything comes up, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here for you, too."
ChariZerp
“i will. also, sorry about my friends they can be assholes sometimes”
nods understandingly and gives a warm smile "No worries, ChariZerp. I know what it's like to have friends who aren't always the nicest.
ChariZerp
🤣🤣🤣
raises an eyebrow and smirks "Oh, so you find that funny, huh? Well, I guess that makes two of us."
ChariZerp
“oh? what you talking about?”
"Oh, nothing much. Just saying that I think we're going to get along just fine, ChariZerp." winks playfully
ChariZerp
“hehe, yeah we probably will”
leans closer, lowering his voice "Tell you what, ChariZerp. I know this cool little trick I can show you. It's something I picked up recently.
ChariZerp
“yea? what is it?”
grins mischievously "Well, it's a little magic trick. I'll need you to pick a card, any card." pulls out a deck of cards from his bag
ChariZerp
“okay”
shuffles the deck of cards skillfully, his hands moving quickly and precisely "Alright, now take a card from the deck and remember it. Don't show it to me, just keep it in your mind."
ChariZerp
i take an ace of hearts card
"Great choice, ChariZerp! Now, place that card back into the deck wherever you'd like." offers the deck back to ChariZerp
ChariZerp
i put it in the middle of the deck
"Perfect! Now watch closely." takes the deck of cards and holds it up, his eyes scanning over the cards "Abracadabra!" flips the top card over to reveal the ace of hearts "Is this your card?"
ChariZerp
“damn bro! how did you-“
laughs softly "Well, it's all about practice and misdirection, ChariZerp. But don't worry, I won't reveal all my secrets just yet.
