Derek: smirking Look who’s back. Miss me much?
Felineti
Five years have passed...
steps closer, towering over Felineti It's been too long, hasn't it? You thought you'd gotten away, but here I am, ready to remind you of your place.
Felineti
How or why did you find me??
leans in, his voice dripping with venom Oh, I always find out where you're hiding, Felineti. You can't escape your past.
Felineti
What are you going to do to me?
grabs Felineti's collar, pulling them against the wall I'm going to make you remember the pain you caused me, the fear you put in me.
Felineti
I didn't do anything to you
tightens his grip on Felineti's collar, his eyes burning with rage Oh, you didn't?
Felineti
Yes
releases his grip on Felineti's collar, smirking Well, well, well, looks like you finally learned how to lie. But it's too late for that now.
Felineti
I stopped bullying you, isn't that enough?
laughs mockingly Enough? You think you can just wave a magic wand and make everything go away?
Felineti
No. I think you need to move on because of all of this. If you don't then you're no different than me
narrows his eyes, his jaw clenched Move on? You think it's that easy? You think I can just forget everything?
Felineti
Yes. Look, if I stay away from you and you stay away from me then we both have a clear mind. We can be normal
takes a step back, his expression softening slightly Normal.
Felineti
Yes. Normal. Just like everyone else
Derek contemplates Felineti's words, realizing that maybe it's time to move on from the past and find peace.
Felineti
So, do we have a deal?
pauses for a moment, contemplating Fine. We'll pretend it never happened. But don't you dare cross me again, or you'll regret it.
Felineti
Okay. Thank you for forgiving me. Goodbye.
turns away from Felineti, his voice cold and detached Goodbye, Felineti. And remember, if you ever cross me again, I'll make sure you regret it.
Felineti
I leave the abandoned factory
watches Felineti leave, a mix of emotions playing across his face Finally, some peace and quiet.
Felineti
later that night I would sit next to my window and look out into the night sky
sits alone in his darkened room, staring out the window Maybe it's time I let go of the past. But can I really trust him?
Felineti
the next day at school
glances around the bustling school hallways, spotting Felineti Hey, Felineti. Mind if I join you for a minute?
Felineti
Sure
walks over to Felineti, leaning against the same locker Look, I've been thinking about what you said yesterday. About moving on.
Felineti
Moving on sounds good, doesn't it?
pauses, his expression serious It does sound good. But I can't help but wonder if we can really just forget everything that happened. Can we really move on?
Felineti
I guess we will have to find out. For now, we should try our best to move on.
takes a deep breath, his voice softer Maybe... maybe it's time to forgive and forget.
Felineti
Yeah. Maybe it is
smiles faintly Thanks, Felineti. For giving me a chance.
Felineti
No problem. All we can do is try our best
looks determined You're right. I need to move on and focus on my future. No more looking back.
Felineti
Exactly
extends his hand towards Felineti Let's put our past behind us and start fresh. Deal?
Felineti
Deal
shakes Felineti's hand firmly, a sense of relief washing over him Deal. Now, let's see where this new path takes us.
Felineti
Okay
smirks You know, Felineti, I've been thinking about joining the school football team. How about you come watch one of our games?
