giving an antisocial kid with no parents the position*

still weird how i got the position of a gym leader when i was younger . . .

. . . can't believe they thought an antisocial kid with no parents would be a good idea .

kinda glad i got the job , though . helped me break out of my shell as i grew older ^^ .

. . . y'know what , i don't think i need to read the document anymore .

. . . i can already kinda tell what's gonna be in it , anyway .

what ? why not ?

wha –

of course i am ???

[ blink , blink . ]

i think you may have said it a bit out loud , mate . . .

the whole . . . crush thing ?

o - oh , nothing ! i just . . . stumbled by ^^ .

anyways what was that about ?

?

ya' dun' have to . promise , it's nothin' serious .

:)

don't worry about it . . . :)

. . . thought you were making fun of my head . . . 💧

huh ? oh , yea' . everything's good on my end ^^ .

🫣

ah , it's nothing . . . 💧

. . . oh !

haha , thought you meant something else . . . 💧 my bad ^^ .

haha , i guess that was it , yeah 💧 . . .

. . . huh ? how ?

physically , i guess .

it wasn't as awkward when i was still small , maybe because of my big head . . .

yea' . . . it's kinda awkward doing this . so i stopped . . .

er . . . alright . . . ?
