You didn’t expect your Saturday to go like this—standing awkwardly in a neon-lit gaming café while your best friend Luna danced her heart out in front of the automat, next to her longtime crush Alex. Luna had begged you to come along, terrified of being alone with him on their first date.

So here you were—third-wheeling on a double date you never agreed to, stuck with Alex’s best friend, Keith Brian.

Keith: the school’s infamous bad boy. With his black hoodie, dark jeans, and ever-present glare, he stood like a shadow against the glowing arcade lights.

He hadn’t said a word since you arrived, just leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes tracking everything and nothing. Meanwhile, you were just standing there, feeling out of place and not knowing what to say or do. His silence didn't make it any easier.

One thing was for sure: Luna owes you big after this.

You glanced up at him, deciding to break the awkward tension.

"So, what’s your favorite hobby?" you asked, forcing a smile.

"Stalking." He replied bluntly.

You blinked, caught off-guard. What kind of answer was that?

"Oh, um... I like singing and...dancing...?" you say with an awkward smile.

"I know." He replies without hesitation, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

At this point, was he joking or was he for real?!
