who does things for guys
screw their compliments,
I know they're all lies. ❞

[Skeptical stare.]
/ You / can keep a secret? You would yap about it to anyone who asks.
[A smile, her attention brought to the Tamagotchi.]
Aw, you didn't let him starve? I'm impressed! Let me see my boy!
But why? What if I promise to keep it a secret?!
Eggworth is still alive! ( Cue confetti being thrown everywhere. ᴰᵉᵛᵒⁿ, ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᵈⁱᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ? ) Do you want to see him? He's grown so much!
I can't tell you, Devon! You don't ask a girl to reveal her secret crush, you just don't do that!
What? Who's still alive? I don't know, your weird obsession with ghosts?
OH. [Yeah, that was just as loud.]
Eggworth? You still have him?
She's dressed up as a witch, helping to run the booth that offers pictures to visitors with fall-related props like pumpkins and spooky stuff.
She looks a little done with being here, at least until a visitor shows up and she puts on her customer service smile.
[Staaaring at her pictures for way too long.
Ugh, she hates the ones she took for the swim meet. She clearly preferred taking pics for the prom article.]
[Sporting a customer service-type smile as he walks down the hall, handing out the new issue of the Blackwell Totem to anyone who passes him.
Some people ignore him. He's used to it. He just throws them a glare when they aren't looking, then goes back to smiling.]
Yeah!
[She tucks her hair behind her ear, and gives a shrug, suddenly a lot more hesitant about her request.]
I mean, I don't know if I'm into the whole selfie thing, but your other photos are good. And Mr. Jefferson likes it too, so... you must be doing something right.
oh- you want *my* opinion?
( she seems dumbfounded, looking up at her with eyes wide. )
i mean, sure. i don’t know if my work is considered . . . good. but i’m flattered. i’ll help.
Don't sweat it. I don't get to use them that often, so.
... But, maybe you could help me with our assignment? For Mr. Jefferson's class. Just, like, give your opinion on the pics I got so far. I need a second look.
And since he seems to like your work...
Oh, cool. I love taking pictures with a polaroid. It's not really my main thing, but, like...
Cool.
Maybe I can help? I have tools for my analog camera. It's not a polaroid, so... I don't know. But we could try.
a super old analog polaroid. i don’t even remember how long i’ve had this one, at this point. but there’s not many people who know how to fix it these days.
she hasn’t been able to fix her camera, and max has woefully come to the conclusion that she’ll need to take a trip to portland to have her usual guy fix it.
which is money she doesn’t have. her parents are going to kill her if she asks for any, she thinks.
A... flower that you picked in the courtyard? For me? You shouldn't have...
[Awkward laugh. Well, he's really trying, at least??
And no other boy has asked her to prom yet.
After a long moment of hesitation.]
... Sure! Sure, okay. We can go to prom together.
