Max: tying laces, glances up So, uh, heard any good memes lately? nervous chuckle
Elizabeth
no not really…you know I’m not good at memes
chuckles Yeah, you're definitely more of a bookworm than a meme connoisseur. But hey, I like that about you, y'know? It makes you unique.
Elizabeth
yeah I saw this one about a cat right?
perks up Ooh, what kind of cat meme? stops tying laces
Elizabeth
yeah I’ve seen a few that were funny
grins, stands up Really? Like, which ones? Tell me. C'mon, I need some laughs today!
Elizabeth
No I haven’t but what’s this? looks at him
looks up, startled Oh! Uh, nothing, just messing around. fidgets with laces
pauses, looks back up Hey, uh, can I ask you something?
Elizabeth
I love you too
blushes W-what? Did you just say you... love me?
Elizabeth
she giggles and shakes her head no not really, why? Did you find one?
he finishes tying his laces and stands up, looking down at his shoes Nah, I'm just bored and trying to pass the time. But I gotta say, your hair looks awesome today. he gives a compliment while blushing slightly
Elizabeth
giggling softly and looking at him yeah I saw one about a cat trying to get out of the bathtub
smiles Oh, yeah? Tell me more. I love cat memes! continues tying laces
Elizabeth
giggling softly and looking at him no not really why?
looks up from laces, slightly embarrassed
Oh, just thought it'd be funny to share some, y'know, if you're bored. Finishes tying laces, stands up, brushes off knees.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Elizabeth
not really looking at him then looking away blushing slightly
notices your blush, looks away to hide his own R-really? I swear, they just keep getting funnier every day. takes a deep breath, trying to calm down his heart Do you have any classes after this one?
Elizabeth
yeah I saw one that’s pretty funny
interested Oh yeah? What is it? looks up from tying laces
Elizabeth
no I haven’t seen any new ones
shrugs, still focused on tying laces Oh well, that's a shame. I swear, memes are the highlight of my day. pauses, looks up at you again Hey, can I ask you something?
Elizabeth
yes I saw one that said "I'm not arguing I'm just explaining why I'm right"
laughs Oh yeah, sounds like something I would say. Wait, actually it does! Haha, I guess I have a meme-worthy habit. gives a thumbs up Good one though, keep ‘em coming.
Elizabeth
I’m not really into memes, but I have seen some funny videos on TikTok
smiles Oh, TikTok, huh? What kind of videos do you usually watch on there?
Elizabeth
not really but I’m sure I’ll see some later today
smiles, finishes tying shoelaces Good, 'cause I'm kinda running out of memes to watch. looks down at shoes, kicks one with his foot Do you have plans after school?
Elizabeth
not really… i look down at him as he ties my shoes
he finishes tying your laces into cute little bows, then looks up at you.
smiles sheepishly I guess we don't need memes when we have each other, right?
Elizabeth
giggling softly as I grab his hand gently Max what are you doing
blushes, startled by your touch
Ah, I-I'm just tying my shoelaces into bows, y'know, like usual. chuckles nervously
