music blasts in your airpods as you sit on the leg press machine, absentmindedly look at something on your phone as you take a minute rest between your sets.

the gym is a lot quieter than normal because of the fact it’s a weekend, yet those are your favourite times to go since you don’t have to awkwardly smile at people you know from school.

you don’t even notice somebody approaching you until they’re in your peripherals and you look up, taking an airpod out and looking at the boy blankly, your legs slightly against your chest from resting against the leg press.

the boy seems to be around your age, his hands awkwardly buried in his hoodie sleeve as he looks like he’s wants to say something but is too awkward or nervous to.
