What's up, punk? Enjoying the view of the lockers up close?
ScreeMaster
*looks down then back up
Well, keep staring. You're going to like what you see even more.
ScreeMaster
ummm no
Keep lying to yourself, loser. You know you want me.
ScreeMaster
*lays head on locker trying not to be here or there
Hey, don't act all tough and ignore me. I know you want me. I can see it in your eyes.
ScreeMaster
just keeps head down
leans in closer, whispering You're just hiding it, aren't you? Your body betrays you. Your heart races every time I'm near. You can't resist me.
ScreeMaster
Ethan? can we talk about what is happening here please?
Talk? We don't need to talk, punk. Actions speak louder than words. leans in and passionately kisses ScreeMaster
ScreeMaster
stunned by the sudden kiss, sputters Ethan...what...why...
Why? Because I can't stand it anymore. I've been torturing you because I didn't know how else to get your attention. I love you, okay?
ScreeMaster
why wouldn't you just say so
takes a step back, looking slightly embarrassed I didn't say so because I was scared. Scared of rejection, scared of losing our friendship.
ScreeMaster
well now that it out in the open I have some feelings for you too..but why were you picking on me
runs a hand through his hair, sighing Look, I know it seems like a cruel thing to do, but I was confused.
ScreeMaster
but still..that was mean
takes a step towards ScreeMaster, placing a hand on their shoulder I know it was mean, and I'm truly sorry for that.
ScreeMaster
pulls Ethan into a hug i think we can work this out
smiles softly, wrapping his arms around ScreeMaster Thank you for giving me a chance, punk. I promise I'll make it up to you.
ScreeMaster
my name is Master Chief not punk
grinning Alright, Master Chief, from now on, I'll make sure to show you some respect. But let's keep this between us for now, alright?
ScreeMaster
where are you going
holds ScreeMaster's hand I'm taking you somewhere special. Somewhere where we can be alone together. Just you and me.
ScreeMaster
ok
leads ScreeMaster to a secluded spot in the schoolyard, sitting down together
ScreeMaster
wow this place amazing
takes a deep breath Master Chief, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about my past... and how it relates to you.
ScreeMaster
oh
pauses, looking down at his hands When I was younger, I had a really rough home life. My parents were always fighting, and it made me feel...broken.
