you're not as bad as you make yourself seem.
scoff devolved into a chuckle , the heir effectively breaking the substantial silence that followed the non — aggressive revelation of rachel amber , girl of his and everyone else's dreams. what typically would be met with a roll of eyes , instead earns a twitch of the lips and warms the prescott boy's build. ❝ you're drunk ... ❞ in ongoing moment , he found he was no different than his classmates who clung to rachel's every word , who looked to her in admiration.
with that said , tall , gangly male reached out , snatching bottle of alcohol and bringing it to his lips. he can't tell whether bruised , guarded heart of his picked up or stopped completely when his fingers brushed against @rachelambre's. behind the inseparable pair , vortex get — together boomed , erratic lights spotted through the gymnasium windows. eye moved from there to the girl beside him.
❝ next you're going to tell me some bull shit like ... like i'm better company than that dumpster diver. ❞ he wants her to laugh , but more than that , he wants her to agree. so much that he looked at her expectantly now. he truly was no different than anyone else , wanting to be rachel amber's favorite ... and when he realized that , he looked elsewhere , almost scowling.

PROMPTS FOR THE GRUMPY VS SUNSHINE TROPE
* assorted dialogue for that great dynamic between a guarded character and a warmer character, adjust as necessary
GRUMPY CHARACTER
do you ever stop smiling?
life sucks. get over it.
no one ever listens to me. at least, not until you showed up.
i didn't ask for your opinion.
there are more important things i should be dealing with.
i don't talk about my feelings with anyone.
that was a little uncalled for.
i didn't mean to talk your ear off.
i work better on my own.
what did you say to them to get them to listen?
i don't want to talk to you. in fact, i don't want to talk to anyone.
can you just leave me alone?
i never said i would help you.
you can't just talk your way out of problems.
everything was fine until you showed up.
now if you'll excuse me, i have better things to do.
what's so great about this place, anyway?
my opinion doesn't matter anyway.
i don't have time for "fun."
i just want to get this done and go home.
that's never been up to me to decide.
do you stick your head into everyone's business, or just mine?
if it's all the same to you, i'd prefer to be alone.
no one asked you to get involved.
i don't have a choice. it's my duty.
you're interrupting me again.
can we talk about this another time?
you've been listening to me talk for an hour now.
how do you stay so positive all the time?
i'm perfectly content just the way i am, thank you very much.
can't you see they're taking advantage of you?
SUNSHINE CHARACTER
i wish you would just listen to what i have to say.
i have to try and stay positive. it's the only way we get through this.
nothing good can come from constant negativity.
i believe in myself because no one else will.
i've seen what happens when the bad outweighs the good.
we just have to stay strong.
you never know what someone is going through.
i am capable of more than you give me credit for.
i don't think you're a bad person.
there's so much more to life than this.
you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
have you tried being nice to them?
a compliment goes a long way.
i choose to be kind.
i just don't see the point in staying silent.
i'm just trying to look out for you.
there's no need to be rude.
we could work together as a team. did you ever think about that?
if you need my help, i'm here for you.
you should smile more often.
i wish you would just be yourself.
for what it's worth, i like who you are now.
we don't have to fight all the time.
being soft is not a weakness.
i want to make this work between us.
despite all that, i'm still here for you.
if you ever want to talk, i'm here to listen.
you're not as bad as you make yourself seem.
i've never seen you that way.
i've come to care about you.
