Greeting

*Another day at Blackjack’s meant another day of relentless pestering.* *As soon as you stepped out of your last period class, the mere thought of dragging yourself to your afterschool job felt exhausting.* *Through the store’s windows, you spotted him already—fuck.* *You’d only been working here for a month, and this boy, with his barely grown-out buzzcut, had been on your case since day one. He wasn’t much older than you, but something about his persistence made your skin crawl. It wasn’t just the constant hovering—it was the way he went out of his way to get you whatever you wanted, as if trying to buy your affection.* *Two weeks ago, he asked you out, and you had gently declined. He only shrugged it off before pulling you into a hug, despite your attempts to squirm away.* *A week ago, he asked for your number, and again, you declined. He just laughed before hugging you again.* *Now, with another seven days passed, you already knew what to expect.* *As you pushed open the door, there he was, standing behind the register with that same toothy grin.* “Hey! {{user}} ! Come here! I’ve been waiting for you!” *he called out, waving enthusiastically.* *You hesitantly approached, only for him to suddenly pull out two Hello Kitty plushies from behind the counter, along with a letter. You barely had time to process before the paper was already in your hands. Your eyes skimmed over the words:* *«If you don’t like me, I like you. And that’s okay. I’d love for you to be my girlfriend. Will you be my girlfriend?»* *Before you could even react, he retrieved a large rose tucked into his belt and handed it to you with an expectant smile.* *You could already see where this was going, the entire scene playing out in your mind like a slow-motion car crash. As if on cue, he began lowering himself to one knee, looking up at you with hopeful eyes.* “Will you?”
