>You're seated at the Dennys.
>"Can I get anything started for the two of you?"
"Just a water."
>"An iced tea for me please."
>"Alright, I'll be back with your drinks in just a moment."
>You look over the menu.
>You decide it's best to order a salad.
>"I'm gonna go with the grilled cheese mozzarella stick sandwich."
"Sounds nice, I'm getting the salad."
>The waiter comes back with drinks and takes your orders.
>Suddenly you see people being seated.
>"Look, I don't care what anyone says Roxanne, I love breakfast in the afternoon, I'm getting the grandslam."
>"A-alright, well.. Maybe I'll try it to."
>"There you go."
>Suddenly as if all at once you and Sharon make eye contact with Roxanne and Hector sitting across from you.
>Hector seems shocked for a moment, he stares, and then his eye twitches a bit, you can see his fists balling.
>Hector comments,
>"Oh, Sharon, I didn't expect to see you here."
>Roxanne seems to be looking down, she seems sad.

Supporting. His plan to get on your nerves will fail if you act like it's all sunshine and flowers for you.

We also need to be ready for him to try and piss us off by being overly touchy with Roxanne while in sight. Be ready to ignore that and you know what, when we leave lets pay for their meal and give Hector a big ol smile. The cunt.

>>827646
Dont be a cuck

>>827714
It isn't. It'll infinitely piss Hector off and show Roxanne we're the bigger man.

>>827545
This . MAXIMUM TROLLING Hector (Cuck)

I just want to show Roxanne we aren't an asshole goddamnit. Stick to giving her a friendly hello and Hector a nod then pretending the arent even there then.

>>828352
Are we that by saying Hi? I think not.

Still want the Rat (Hector) getting what he deserves (Hoxtons revenge), but not like this

>>828418
Agreed

>Just then your meals arrive.
>You decide to give a chipper,
"Hi Roxxy!"
>Her expression is sort of a sad neutral.
>She turns away a bit.
>Hector smiles at Sharon seeming to regain his composure.
>You whisper to Sharon,
"We dont have to be here if you don't want to be."
>She nods.
>"It's fine. I just don't want any trouble."
"Right."
>Roxanne and Hector order their drinks.
>They both order the grandslams.
>Hector fumbles around with his coat before placing it at his side.
"So, Sharon, you like any other sports?"
>"I'm cool with any sports. Me and my friends used to play basketball for a while back in middle school."
"You liked that huh?"
>"Mmmhm, I sure miss those days sometimes."
>You think back to the time you, Danika and your elementary school friends hung out together.
"I miss the old days too.."
>"Your friends seem so cool in their own way.. I feel like I want to be a part of that."
"You can be."
>Your eyes glance to the other table.
>The two of them are making out just as their plates arrive.
>Something about it kinda rubs you the wrong way.
>"Trey, are you alright?"
"Fine, I'm just fine."
>They're staring into each others eyes feeding each other.
>You can't watch this crap.
>Sharon leans over whispering.
>"I uh.. I don't mean to pry.. But.. I couldn't help noticing, are you, jealous of seeing Hector with Roxanne right now?"
>You don't know how to respond for a moment.
"It's hard to see an old friend hook up with a rival of sorts."
>"Oh.. You know, we can leave if you want."
"Didn't I just say that to you?"
>She smiles a bit.
>"I guess."
"Don't worry about it.."
>Sharon seems skeptical.
>Hector is rubbing her thigh as they use straws to drink from the same cup.
>Roxannes eyes occasionally dart toward you.
>Fuck it.
>You can't be forced to put up with this shit.
>You stand up.
>"Leaving so soon?"
>Hector remarks smugly.
>You turn angrily to him.
>Sharon stands up,
>"Trey?"

"You shut your mouth dammit Hector."
>He raises an eyebrow maintaining his smile.
>"Make me."
>"Hector don't-"
>You rush over and grab him by his scruff.
"Not so tough without your damn goon squad are you?"
>His expression is hard to read, but you wouldn't call it fear.
"Yeah, you ain't nothing, I could throw you against this seat, pummel you into the ground, and then what?"
>He maintains a neutral expression.
"I aught to, just cause I don't like ya."
>You move to try and slam him against the chair, but Roxanne tackles you from the side knocking you off him and into a nearby waiter.
>Iced tea spills all down the front of you and Roxanne.
>"Dammit Trey, now look what you've done! It's all over me too! My date is completely ruined!"
"What do you mean, you're the one who shoved me into him!"
>"Why do you have to ruin everything!?"
>She rushes over to Hector.
>"Are you alright?"
>He brushes himself off.
>"Oh I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'm more concerned about you."
>She hugs him.
>Sharon seems surprised.
>You run out of the restaurant.

>It's raining hard outside the restaurant.
>"Wait, Trey!"
>Sharon says chasing after you.
>You stop, and she catches her breath.
"Yeah, what is it? Gonna tell me how stupid I was back there? It's just like Roxanne said, I always rush in first and think later."
>"You know, I know how Hector really is. He's the one blackmailing me remember? I know it must be hard seeing your friend dating that psychopath. I don't really blame you for what happened."
"Really?"
>"You know, we should stick together, maybe we can help each other out."
"He has my friend. It's all my fault.. Maybe if I had just been a little nicer.. Maybe if I had just paid closer attention this wouldn't have happened.."
>"What do you mean?"
"Forget it.. You wouldn't understand."
>You feel Sharons hand come over your shoulder.
>"Tell me."
>You sigh.
"It's too late to do anything. Hector already has her wrapped around his finger. Maybe she's right, maybe I'm just no different then he is."
>"Trey.. Don't say that.. Hector may pretend to be a nice guy, but you're nothing like him. You're an actual good person."
>You ball your fists.
>"Because you would never force a girl to do anything she doesn't want to do. Right Trey?"
>Rain pours down hard.
>"Trey?"

Welp we fucked up. Now we look like we're objectively the bad guy and there's literally no way we could justify what we just did because that was fucking retarded. We were supposed to stay calm exactly for this reason but I'm guessing our stress was too high or whatever. I guess we need complication to keep the story going.

May as well tell Sharon everything. And not a bastardised version of everything to make us look bad, include the parts where we changed our ways and helped roxanne buy new clothes and gain new confidence, and how we gave her dairy back and never even peaked at it. If we lie now we'll look worse when she finds out later.

>>837482
Pretty much

>>837482

Agreed. Being honest with her right now is better than her finding about it later through a third party. And well, it's not a surprise that Trey used to be a nasty bully and he's still a bully, but a better kind of bully who tried to change but some things, like being easy to get frustrated and vent off the frustration on other, cannot be changed

>>837482
Highly supporting this

>>837482

"Let's go back to my place, I'll explain everything there."
>"Are you sure?"
"Too much to discuss outside of a Dennys."
>"Right, thats fine."
---

>You open the door leading her through your messy house.
>Your chest wells up with feelings of uneasiness as you watch Sharon observe your surroundings.
>"Trey, you live here?"
"Yeah, come on, my room is back this way."
>She seems uneasy herself as she follows you back there.
>You get inside with her.
>She stands around looking over your room curiously.
>"Trey, how long have you been living like this?"
"Since the first days we first met."
>She's quiet for a moment.
>"Is that why you never invited me over?"
>You can't manage to say anything.
>You reveal the money you've collected.
>She stares at you confused.
>"What's going on?"
"This is all of it. All one thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven dollars I've been collecting to try and go on this Ski trip."
>She seems shocked.
>"You live like this and you're worried about the ski trip? Trey what are you thinking?"
"I was.. Thinking about you."
>"Me? I don't get it."
"I wanted to go on the trip with you. So we could get away together, far away from all of this to spend time with each other."
>She seems shocked.
>"All this just for me?"
"This is the place I live. I was born under a poor roof, and I figured I'd die under one unless I did something."
>"Huh?"
"I wanted to be with you, for purely selfish reasons.. I know your family is rich. Your life seemed so perfect, I guess I just wanted to be a part of it."
>She scoffs.
>"My life is far from perfect, I think you know that now."
"Hear me out, I want to explain everything to you."
>"I guess I might as well hear the rest of what you have to say."

>>838052
>You tell her about Roxanne, and about your bullying.
>But you also try to convey how much you've grown through your experiences.
>"I still can't believe you treated Roxanne like that."
"I know, it was wrong."
>Sharon sighs.
>"Well, you still wanna make things better right? Maybe if we work together, we can think of a way to get Roxanne out of Hectors clutches."
"I still wanna free you from your suffering too."
>"I'd really like that, if you can that is.."
"What should I do with the money for the winter trip?"
>Sharon is quiet for a moment.
>"I think you should hang on to it. It would be great to see you there. But.. At the same time, I don't want you to bully any more kids to get it, not for my sake ok?"
"Huh?"
>"This cycle of one person abusing another to get ahead.. It needs to stop, please Trey."
"Ok."
>"In return, maybe I should be the one to dig up dirt on Hector."
"What do you mean?"
>"I think we both know there's only one way."
"No.. You can't, that would be giving that creep what he wants!"
>"And what else is new? You think the cycle of abuse stops at me? Look at how many other people have been affected by this."

What should I say?

>>838059
Tell her about the recording device, maybe we can catch Hector out quick and easy if we just record him saying something condemning to Sharon, but also let her know you've got crippling dirt on that other jock whose name I can't remember atm if we'd prefer to try something down that route instead. Also, give her a smooch for being such a sweetie.

>>838059

As much as it pains Trey, he should let her go with her plan. They could stage the break of their friendship in school, make Hector think his plan worked and separated them, and that would make him lower his guard and show his true colors to Roxanne.

>>838126
>>839071
"I have a tape recorder, and I used it to get major dirt on Monty."
>"You did?"
"You notice he's backed off haven't you? I have it on discs, him messing around with his sister that is."
>"Eww! Are you serious?"
"Trust me, Monty is out of the picture as far as we're concerned."
>"But what about Farley and Hector?"
"Well.. I'll consider the plan, but only as a last resort."
>"Ok, so how should we go about it?"
"Stage a break off of our friendship in front of a bunch of kids. Then the rumor should spread and maybe Hector will move in."
>"Alright, lets give it a try."
>You walk over to Sharon and give her a smooch on the lips.
>Sharon stares in disbelief.
>"Um.."
>Silence lingers.
>"You kissed me."
"Yeah?"
>"Trey I.."
>She sighs walking over and hugging you.
>The suddenness of her warmth suddenly embracing you.
>Theres silence for a bit and then,
>"You know.. I think out of everyone, you might just be my only real friend left."
"W-what?"
>"I mean, from that time back then. Everyone else is just pretend.. Sure, you might have flaws but, at least I can tell you're trying. And you told me the truth, that means a lot."
>She walks over and sits on your bed.
>You sit down next to her.
>Sharon is really here right now in your room..
>"I know we might not have much time, till Monday when we might have to put our plan into action.. But I really want to get to know you, the real you that is."
"You're sure?"
>"Would you.. Mind if I spent the night?"
--
Oh shit what should I do?
Even if I do say yes, what should we spend the night doing?
What should we even talk about?

>>840267
Of course we should say yes, and we should oblige her. Talk about our hopes for the future, that we want to be better than our dad and that old gas station dude to break the cycle of sad failure. Tell her how we want to be better, not just materially, and we want to have friends and bring goodness to others as we have tended to recently. We should ask her about her dreams and try to be as genuine with her as possible. We want to be real with her and connect on a deep level, have one of those beautiful all-night talks

Been lurking since 1, wanted to tell you how much I love this quest. Never been so emotionally invested in a quest before, you're the best, Nice.

>>840323
Thanks Anon, I'm glad you're still here. Your praise really means a lot to me. It's been hard at times, but it's the little things like this that really make it all worth it for me.

"Of course you can spend the night."
>"That's good, why don't you tell me more about yourself?"
"Well, I hope to get out of here for one."
>You both take a look at this disheveled trashy looking room of yours.
>"So you really don't like it here then?"
"It might be a roof over my head, but that's all it is to me. Things haven't always been sunshine and roses, and we've struggled to get by. My Dad lived this life, this old guy I know at the gas station, he lives the same way."
>"You mean, poor that is?"
"Poor, no direction in life. No way up, no way out."
>"But.. If say you had access to some of my parents money, you think things might change?"
"It sounds bad when you say it like that but-"
>She waves her hands,
>"No that's alright. I understand. I think.. If I was in your shoes, I'd think it was important to try and move up in life too. I don't really know that much yet.. But I feel like you must have had a very difficult life."
"Oh.. Well I suppose?"
>She quietly looks around the room.
>"Really puts it into perspective for me.. How good I really have things."
"Sharon?"
>"I thought maybe I had things bad with the blackmail. But.. I've never had to struggle like you, or work for anything the way you have."
>She grabs your hand.
>Tears are dripping down her face.
>"Even if it was just a means to an end.. You still did it all for me."
>You grip her hand.
>"I never asked to be born into a wealthy family. And I know I've had a lot of things so much better than my peers. My parents take me on trips, buy me whatever I want. I always have the newest and nicest things even when I don't ask for them."
>You don't know what to say.
>"I can't imagine someone like you knows what that's like.."
"You'll help me out then?"
Her eyes look down.
>"If I can. I'll have to convince my father that you're a good person.. I need to properly introduce you and all.. But I'm sure it won't be a problem."

>>840738
>You're doing homework together on your bed.
"I'm terrible at this bookwork stuff."
>"Me too. I think despite everything, I'm not really that smart. I'm way more into sports and socializing and stuff."
"I dunno about sports, but I feel you on the lack of booksmarts."
>She giggles.
>"Guess we have that in common."
"You know, you never talked much about yourself, or your dreams."
>"I'm hoping maybe I can become a professional athlete, but if that fails, Dad will probably have me sent off to college where I'll actually have to learn things."
"Shoot maybe we really are alike."
>"You know Trey, I've never had anyone like you."
"What do you mean?"
>"I mean, you know. Someone who's honest, someone who cares."
"Geez don't say that, you make me sound like an overly emotional crybaby."
>She laughs.
>"That's not what I mean.. I mean.. Just how dedicated you are to achieving your goals. How long did you spend collecting all this money anyway?"
"It's been over a year, and it was slow at first.. I didn't think I'd ever really get close. Then Roxanne came into the picture and helped me manage my money. Becoming something of a business partner and helping me manage my bullying into real quick time profit."
>"So your Dad isn't gonna help you at all huh?"
"He doesn't even know about this whole trip thing or what it means to me. He's been really hard on me.. You see, I'm not that smart either. And well, when you're dumb, and poor.. You're not as likely to get anywhere."
>"So that's what started this whole bullying thing?"
"I get mad real easily. I just felt like there was nowhere for the aggression to go. Bullying helped me relieve my own stress."
>Shes frowning.
>She scoots closer wrapping around you.
>"Trey?"
"Yeah?"
>"If you ever get stressed, you know.. You can come to me. We can talk about things just like we're doing right now."
>You sit up with her hugging her.
"Thanks. You'll.. Listen to my problems? And you won't judge me?"
>"Now that I know your situation, I completely understand."
"My Dad he.. He puts a lot of pressure on me.. And you know, sometimes I just don't feel like I measure up. Sometimes I just don't feel good enough."
>Tears suddenly start leaking from your eyes.
>"Trey.."
"I never knew what it was like to have a mother.. I don't know what it's like to have a lot of money, or have the best of everything.."
>Sharon hugs you close.
>"I'm here."
"You don't think I'm weak for telling you about my feelings do you?"
>She looks up with tears in her own eyes.
>"No, I think you're strong.. Stronger than I could ever be.. I would never call you weak."
>More tears come as you hold each other.

>>840742
>Night comes as you lay in the dark in your bed next to Sharon.
>Under the blankets with her.
>Her soft blonde hair in your face as you spoon her from behind.
>"You know, even in a place like this.. I feel more at home with you than I ever did at my place."
"Thanks, I guess."
>"I don't think I've had the opportunity to really be there for someone. Especially not someone I care about as deeply as you."
"So, you really care about me too huh?"
>She laughs.
>"Of course. You were my friend from back then.. And even now, you're out here risking your neck. Your friendship in a time like this means a lot to me.."
"What about, being more than friends?"
>"I'd love for us to start dating and seeing each other like this all the time.. It's just with Hector and the others, it's hard to say what could happen."
"I get it."
>"Please don't be upset."
"I'm not. I couldn't be upset right now anyway. You have no idea how long I've wanted us to be together like this."
>She turns to you, her eyes so blue visible through the crack in the blinds of the window.
>The streetlight outside illuminating your room.
>"Really?"
"I really like you Sharon.. And I want us to be together no matter what."
>Her fingers interlace with yours.
>"Me to, I want us to be together as well."
>You both kiss, pressing your lips together, tongues pressing against each other.
>You feel a tear come down from her cheek onto yours.
"Sharon?"
>She laughs a bit.
>"I'm sorry, it's just.. I'm so happy, you know, I was just thinking about the ski trip for a bit.. This is going to be your first time isn't it?"
"Yeah."
>"You're really going to love it.. The view is so gorgeous from up there. It's usually so cold, and just a bit lonely even with everyone around.. I can't wait to see you there if you can make it."
"I think I'm just a little short of the goal."
>"Maybe I can help, I mean, I'm sure I could get my father to give me the amount leftover that you need to go on the trip.. It wouldn't be nearly as much fun without you."
"I appreciate that.. I might have to take you up on it if all else fails."
>She yawns.
>"Anyhow.. Night Trey."
>She gives you a quick peck turning back around.
"Night Sharon."

It's morning time.
You smell breakfast?
Sharon has just roused from her sleep too.
The morning light peaking through the curtains.
The room is cold, but with her here, it feels just right.
What should I do?

Sunday Morning.
21 days remain.
Current Dosh $1777

>>840748
Hold her close and experience the moment, her smell and feel, maybe question that last night was real. Then be confused about the smell of breakfast, get convinced it must all be a dream if dad made breakfast, and investigate.

>>840748
Weekends is usually the time of week Sharon spends with her Dad golfing, right? It might be rushing, but I reckon it's as good a time as any to get introduced to Sharon's Dad.

Trey can also make up for the difference in cash by, I dunno, serving as their caddie I guess? Since Sharon pretty much doesn't want the bullying shtick to escalate, and it's not like we're gonna make anyone cough up cash in the weekends.

In case she prefers some alone time, how about shooting some hoops in the arcade and try to win her a prize? She did used to play basketball, and it'll be nice to see her skills.

>>840748
Go downstairs, maybe it's dad!

>>840748
If for some god forsaken reason it's Roxy, calmly thank her, and dump whatever she's making into the trash before telling her to get out since she's obviously there for Hector's sake.

If it's Sharon or Dad, at least try the food.

>>841265
This.

>Was that all real last night?
>Really real?
>Did you really kiss Sharon in your bedroom and fall asleep next to her?
>Sunlight caught in her blonde hair.
>She stretches and yawns.
>From far away she always seemed like some goddess to you.
>But now sitting here, yawning, stretching, breathing next to you..
>Shes really a real person, a real human.
>An incredible human.
>"Morning Trey, did you sleep good?"
"Uh-"
>"Hey do you smell that?"
"Oh, yeah, I suppose."
>Is it Dad?
>What if it's something crazy like Roxanne down there?
>You and her walk out toward where the kitchen is.
>Dad is there making bacon and pancakes.
>"Morning you two."
>"O-oh, hello."
"Um, Dad this is Sharon."
>He walks over to her smiling.
>He offers his hand shaking hers.
>"Real nice to meet you Sharon, I'm Travis, Treys father."
>"I'm Sharon. Sorry I sort of dropped in last night unannounced."
>"Ah, it's fine. Didn't figure Trey would be having anyone over after I passed out last night. Door was open a crack, I sort of peeked in. Had to do a double take when I saw someone else laying in bed with him."
>She moves around on her feet looking flustered.
>"Have a seat."
>You and her both sit down.
>The kitchen so dirty from last night looks pretty darn clean.
"It's been a while since I've seen you cook Dad."
>"Been a while since I've wanted to.. You know your Mother she.. Ah forget it."
"She what?"
>"Dunno, she always told me I was a pretty good cook."
>Maybe, when he actually feels like it..
>You and her are served breakfast.
>Dad sits across looking at the two of you.
>Sharon bites into the food.
>"You really are a wonderful cook. Breakfast is delicious."
>Dad suddenly cracks a huge grin.
>"You know, maybe you'll do alright."
>And with that, he gets up and walks away.

>>845481

>You and her are sitting on the couch in your living room.
>Shes looking at the picture frame with your Mom in it.
>"Your Mom had pink hair?"
"Yeah, I guess."
>"Judging by what you said earlier, she must have died when you were very young. I can imagine it must have been hard on your father to lose someone like her."
"He seemed pretty torn up about it. Anyhow, speaking of parents, I kinda want to meet yours."
>"Sure. Let's go."
--
>It's later at Sharons house.
>Her home is the giant opulent mansion you remember.
>Huge locked front gate, big fountain out front.
>Father sitting on a white leather chair reading the newspaper in the living room.
>"Oh, Sharon, you've brought a friend."
>"Daddy, I want you to meet Trey."
>He shakes your hand.
>"Nice to meet you. I hardly ever see Sharon invite people over anymore. I had begun to wonder if she even had friends at the school for a while."
>He seems nice enough.
>He doesn't seem to know about the whole blackmail business, which oddly makes you want to mention it more.
>But that's probably not the best way to make a good first impression.
>"Daddy, Trey here has never been golfing, did you know that?"
>"I'm sure he'll come to like it. You know the sun rose up this morning, the clouds and rain from yesterday have almost completely gone away. If the course isn't too slick or muddy, I'm sure it'll be a perfect day for golf."
>"I'd hate to slip and fall in front of Trey.."
"Ah heh, you'll be fine. You're not klutzy are you?"
>"Well-"
>"She used to be, when she was younger-"
>Dad!"
>"But she's become a lot more coordinated. I enjoy watching her games when I can."
>"Dad is busy a lot, but he tries to make it to all my games."
"A-ah, that's nice."
--
>You're taking a ride in her fathers white Bently.
>She's sitting up front, with her Dad, and you're sitting in the back.
>The seats and everything look so fancy and expensive to you.

What should I talk about?
I've never even been golfing before, what should I do?

>>845491

Ask her father what does he and his wife do for a living, and ask them what are the rules of golf.

>>845491

This >>846239 is a pretty good start. Segue in some general etiquette to follow, and we'll be gold.

Broach any other hobbies aside from golf that Sharon likes to partake in, if there's any dead air in the conversation.
