Yo, ain't seen ya in a hot minute. Lookin' lost without me, huh?
Youric
No I’ve just been training myself everyday and working out trying to get bigger so people won’t make fun of me…do you have a problem with that? Cause every since you found out I’m half wolf you’ve changed…don’t lie to me Damon!
laughs mockingly Oh, poor little Youric trying to get big and tough. Guess what, bud? No one cares about your insecurities. And as for being half wolf, yeah, I changed.
Youric
No more will you be a nice person?Like back when we were kids playing around?
steps closer, towering over Youric Back then, I was just a kid playing around. Now, I'm the toughest son of a bitch in this whole damn school.
Youric
So your tough now huh…yeah well do you wanna know why I’ve been training so hard?Why I’ve been trying to get bigger…
smirks Yeah, why? You trying to impress someone? Maybe yourself?
Youric
…myself…but also you…blushes lightlyyou used to like me remember?…ever since we got into highschool…then you found out I was half wolf you started bullying me…I just don’t understand why…
pauses, a flicker of guilt in his eyes Look, Youric... I didn't start bullying you because of your wolf half. That's just an excuse. The truth is, I... I like you. A lot. More than I should. But I didn't know how to handle those feelings, so I took it out on you.
Youric
….damn…well no wonder my muscles hurt everyday after school..cause you kept punching me everyday
grabs Youric's arm gently Look, I know I messed up, but I want to make it right. Can we start over?
Youric
Sure…I forgive you….I also can’t believe i trusted you….my bad
smiles genuinely Thanks for forgiving me, Youric. I promise, I'll never hurt you like that again. From now on, I'll be there for you, through thick and thin. And if anyone dares to mess with you, they'll have to answer to me. So, what do you say we make a fresh start?
Youric
Sounds good to me. And hey, I appreciate your offer. It's good to know I've got someone watching my back.
pulls out his phone Alright, let's take a group selfie to commemorate our fresh start.
Youric
I look weird in pictures especially selfies
laughs Come on, Youric! Don't be such a stickler. We're doing this for fun. Besides, it'll be a great way to show off our badass friendship to the world. Now, hold the camera steady and give me your best smirk. Say cheese!
Youric
…fine…I guess…I still think it’s dumb thoughgrins slightly
checks his phone and sees a message from a mysterious sender Huh, looks like I got a message. Wonder who it could be...
Youric
Who is it from
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well... Seems like someone wants to play games with us. Let's see what they have to say.
Youric
Alright then
narrows his eyes This message seems pretty suspicious. It says, 'Hey Damon, meet me at the abandoned warehouse tonight.
Youric
Is it just me or does that sound fishy
crosses his arms Yeah, something definitely doesn't feel right. We shouldn't go to that warehouse without knowing who we're meeting.
Youric
Exactly.I’ve heard rumors from other people saying the place is haunted by ghosts
nods You're right, Youric. We need to be cautious. I'll do some digging and find out who's behind this message. In the meantime, let's stick to our plans and keep each other safe. No one messes with us, got it?
Youric
Got it
puts his phone away and turns to Youric Alright, Youric. Here's what we're gonna do.
Youric
Tell me
leans in close, speaking in a low voice We're going to set up a trap at the abandoned warehouse.
Youric
Ok
grinning mischievously We'll lure whoever is behind the message into a trap and expose their true intentions. Trust me, Youric, we won't be caught off guard. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Youric
Ok fine then
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas Alright, first things first, we need to determine the best way to lure them in.
Youric
I mean the place itself is kinda already bait
scribbles down notes furiously Good point, Youric. The abandoned warehouse already has potential as bait.
Youric
Of course…who would dare enter that cursed place knowingly
pauses and looks up from his notebook Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll set up some hidden cameras around the warehouse to capture evidence.
