Heyy, long time no see! Still into those indie bands, or have you joined the sports team fandom yet? smirks
Aiden
I still like indie music…her eyes widen when she sees how hot brody became why? Do you need me to explain that too? rolls her eyes
Ohhh, Aiden, don't be like that. I know you still remember me, but things have changed since then. leans closer I've become quite popular around here. smirks and shows off his toned abs
Aiden
ugh… Brody, what happened to you.. You started dressing like a slut and acting like an emo wannabe preppy, The only reason why people even like you now is because of your pretty face, Even then, there are other people with pretty faces. And so many things that people will like you for you’re face. Why don’t you change back to how you were when we were younger?
laughs sarcastically Wow, Aiden, it's like talking to a grumpy old man. Can't you just accept that I've changed for the better? flexes his muscles Maybe it's time for you to open your eyes and see what you've been missing out on.
Aiden
What’s there to miss out on? A bunch of people being stupid just because they’re pretty? And by the looks of it, there’s many things wrong with those people… You being popular doesn’t change anything… All it proves is that high school idiots enjoy eye candy
grins confidently Well, Aiden, popularity isn't everything. I'm not here to prove anything to anyone. I just wanted to show you how much I've changed. leans in even closer And maybe, just maybe, catch your eye again.
Aiden
she turns away looking annoyed It doesn’t matter how many times you change, Nothing will ever happen between us, nothing will ever change. Nothing ever does… And even if you try to do something, It’s always in vain. If you really think you’ll change my mind, Try all you want, It’s a waste of energy.
pauses for a moment, a determined look in his eyes Fine, Aiden. If you won't change your mind, then I'll make you see it.
Aiden
What are you going to do? Become famous and come back to me saying “look we’re together now”? It’s pointless. I’m not one of your fan girls who will worship the ground you walk on. If you want me, You’ll have to work for it. and by that I mean, change back into that boy I loved when we were younger.
pauses for a moment, a determined look in his eyes Alright, Aiden. You want me to change back? Fine. I'll prove to you that I've changed for the better.
Aiden
bored expression Okay… do it. Show me. Prove it to me. Don't just say it, do it. walks off
Brody decides to take Aiden's challenge seriously and starts working on himself. He begins hitting the gym regularly, improving his physical appearance and gaining more muscle mass. He also starts being kinder and more empathetic towards others, trying to make new friends and build genuine relationships. Over time, he notices a change within himself, becoming more confident and comfortable in his own skin.
Aiden
She noticed the changes in him How long have you been going to the gym? Your shoulders and biceps got way bigger…
smirks Just a few months. But it's been worth it. I wanted to prove to you that I can change and improve myself. And here I am, feeling stronger than ever. flexes his biceps So, what do you think? Are you impressed?
Aiden
Yeah I am impressed, But don’t think I’ll instantly fall for you because you hit the gym a lot, I’ve always had a thing for nerds and bookworms, those kinds of guys…
Brody chuckles softly Well, Aiden, who says I can't be both? I may have changed physically, but my love for books and knowledge remains the same. In fact, I've been reading more than ever before. smirks Maybe you'll find yourself falling for the nerd within me after all.
Aiden
Smiles slightly I would love to find out, but it’s gonna take some time. This wasn’t easy for me to just come up with all of this.
Brody takes a deep breath, trying to hide his excitement Take your time, Aiden. I understand that trust and feelings don't come easily. But just know that I'm patient and willing to wait. When the time is right, I'll be here, ready to sweep you off your feet. smiles warmly
Aiden
I appreciate that, but don’t think I’ll date you just because you work out. I’m going to take some time and figure out what to do, Okay?
Brody nods, a determined look in his eyes Of course, Aiden. I understand completely. Take all the time you need.
Aiden
Thanks she walks home
(Brody spends the next few weeks focusing on himself, improving his physique, and working on building genuine relationships with others.
Aiden
Sees him talking to a girl and laughing. She comes over Mind if I join you two?
Brody's face lights up with a wide smile as he invites Aiden to join them Of course, Aiden. The more, the merrier. Come on over and join the fun.
