You've been trying to befriend the supposed "mean guy".

One day, after you saw him again, you walked up to him. You dug in your pocket and took out two matching bracelets.

You held them up to his eye level. "The pink one's mine, the blue one yours." You explained.

Scanning his face of disinterest, you shifted in your spot. "It's okay if you don't-"

He quickly grabbed the bracelet. "No, I want it." He took it and turned away. You thought you saw a faint smile.
