x: hey, do you wanna help me ask alex to sadies tomorrow?
y: oh
y: how?
x: well.. i was thinking
x: before he comes down to the track, i get the track team to lay down in a formation of SADIES ALEX?
x: what do you think?
y: it's good
x: okay well..
x: i'll give you the very important job of keeping him distracted while i get everyone ready
x: are you up for it?
y: ok
x: i'm pretty excited for sadies
x: how was it when you went last year?
y: alright
x: umm..
x: when you say "alright," are you leaning more towards awkward or fun?
y: awkward..
x: why do you keep giving me one word answers?
y: sorry
y: i'm just... busy
x: okay, i'll stop bothering you then
y: nooo
y: i'm listening
y: why don't you just ask straight out?
y: it's pretty gutsy, if you ask me
x: dude, you're so uncreative
y: yeah, but
y: when you do something like your plan in front of a bunch of people
y: it puts a shitload of pressure on the guy to say yes, right?
y: so then you don't know if they're just saying yes so they don't look bad in front of the crowd, or if they really want to go
y: and if they're really truthful and say no, then you come out super embarrassed
x: aww man
x: i never really thought of it that way
y: ahh, don't worry
y: i don't think anyone could ever say no to you
x: hahah, that would be sweet if i didn't know you well enough
y: omg, how come you never believe me when i'm serious?
x: um..
x: i dunno
x: i guess i'm not used to you saying compliments
x: lol..
y: uh.. anyway...
y: i don't see what's so great about this dude
y: you've known him for a couple of years now right?
x: yeah but
x: it's like...
x: he's always been there, but i've never really
seen him
x: i guess i just started to realize that i like him
x: has that ever happened to you?
...
x: josh? are you still there?
y: yeah
y: yeah... it has.
