We’re going to call them D and A.
D: <is sitting on the bench staring at their phone>
A: <is also sitting on the bench staring at their phone>
D: <glances up very briefly to see if the pfp of A matches the person next to him. is horrified to see that, not only is it her, she is, in fact, just as beautiful as she is online. returns eyes to phone>
A: <says to herself “OH MY GOD HE JUST LOOKED AT ME HE KNOWS I’M HERE”>
D:
A:
D: <thinks, “there’s probably no hope, she probably already hates me.”>
A: <considers hiding in the bathroom. briefly considers the fact that Giant Pandas in zoos, somehow, manage to mate. decides to channel Giant Panda energy>
D: “hey. it’s ok if you don’t want to talk after all or if I’m a disappointment but hi I’m Depression”
A: <OH MY GOD HE JUST TALKED TO ME> says “Oh hii!!!! It’s so nice to meet you. I’m Anxiety. How are you?”
D: <shrugs> “As good as can be expected. How are you?”
A: “Good! …. I’m good…. Wanna go inside the restaurant?”
D: “ok.”
