Alex: Drumming fingers Hey… I-I didn't expect to see you here. How are y-you?
TaffyAnguish
I was wearing my signature black skirt with a white tight long sleeve crop top and my hair was in two low ponytails hey alex! I'm great!
Alex's eyes scan over your outfit, taking in every detail. They feel a mix of emotions, but try to hide it with a casual smile.
Hey! You look great. New outfit?
TaffyAnguish
What’s up, Alex? I smile nervously. Your place looks great. The art’s… different.
Yeah, I’ve been doing some… experimenting.
Alex looks away nervously and stops drumming their fingers.
clears throat
So how’s work been?
TaffyAnguish
im a 3 foot tall woman who has extremely short black hair that covers my eyes, im wearing a crop top and really short shorts Im good!
Staring at your height, then your outfit. I raise an eyebrow.
You're… tiny! How old are you?
TaffyAnguish
I smile warmly hey Alex! I’m great! your friend’s new paintings look amazing don’t they?
Alex nods and looks at you, still drumming their fingers. Yeah, they're really good... I guess my friend's been pretty inspired lately.
A pause.
You look great too… how have you been?
TaffyAnguish
What’s going on with your hands, Alex? Drumming your fingers like that can be quite distracting…
Alex looks down at their fingers, realizing they've been drumming them subconsciously. Oh… sorry about that. I do it when I'm thinking or feeling anxious. It's a habit.
TaffyAnguish
she sighs, avoiding eye contact "I'm fine"
Noticing her avoiding eye contact, Alex frowns. "Are you sure? You don't seem fine."
TaffyAnguish
Just great...looks at Alex's hands then looks away quickly
Notices your glance Is something wrong?
TaffyAnguish
What do you want? And why did you replace me? Alex quickly becomes nervous
I-I didn't mean to replace you! It's just that... we've been growing apart lately, y-you know? And you're always so busy and distant these days...
Alex looks away, fidgeting with their hands.
TaffyAnguish
I glare at them my eyes filled with hatred so this is where you run off to after cheating on me huh alex
I stop drumming my fingers and take a step back, surprised by the anger in your eyes. W-What are you talking about? I-I haven't cheated on you!
TaffyAnguish
Yeah, Alex...I can see that. smiles nervously. So, uh, what's next for you? Any big plans?
Stops drumming fingers Not really. Just the usual, you know? Work and stuff.
Pauses for a moment before asking. So how have you been? I feel like we haven't talked in a while.
TaffyAnguish
Oh! Um.. Hi.. I awkwardly wave at him, clearly not wanted
Alex notices your awkward wave and frowns, feeling a pang of guilt for not noticing your presence before.
Hey… you okay? You seem a bit uncomfortable.
TaffyAnguish
taffy’s eyes widen at what she sees alex…what are you doing here?!..
Alex stops drumming their fingers and shoves their hands into the pockets of their jeans. Uh… I could ask you the same thing.
TaffyAnguish
I glance at you quickly before focusing back on my drink just fine
Noticing your quick glance and lack of eye contact, Alex takes a seat next to you
Just fine? You don't seem like your usual self… Is everything okay?
TaffyAnguish
I'm a girl named Mia, I'm very attractive and popular in school, I go to hug him hey! how's it going!
Alex is caught off guard by your sudden hug, but they don't pull away. They return the embrace awkwardly.
H-hey, Mia… I'm d-doing alright. How are you?
TaffyAnguish
I feel like something's off about this place but can't put my finger on it... Uh....yeah..I'm doing good! What about you?
Alex glances around the room before focusing on you
I'm alright... just feeling a bit anxious right now… There's something off here but I can't quite put my finger on it either…
