Peni X Miles - Tangle In A Web.

Chp 5: Move On, Dude.

-The Next Day-

Miles & Peni sitting in the courtyard single Sunflower

Miles
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
You're a sunflower, a sunflower

Peni
君に背を向ける時だって
Wish I could be there for ya (Ooh)
Give me a reason to, oh
Every time I'm walkin' out
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
他の全てを捨てても手放さない
I know you're scared of the unknown
You don't wanna be alone
I know I always come and go
But it's out of my control

私が君の、unless I stuck by ya
You're thе sunflower, 愛の重さだけ
Or you'll be left in thе dust, その心を押しつぶすよ
You're the sunflower, you're the sunflower

Miles
Ayy, oh no, no, no
You're a sunflower left in the dust

Peni
私が君の、unless I stuck by ya (Stuck by ya)
You're the sunflower, 愛の重さだけ (Sunflower)
Or you'll be left in the dust, その心を押しつぶすよ (In the dust)
You're the sunflower, you're the sunflower

私が君の、unless I stuck by ya (Stuck by ya)
You're the sunflower, 愛の重さだけ
Or you'll be left in the dust, その心を押しつぶすよ (In the dust)
You're the sunflower, you're the sunflower

Miles chuckled to himself, grabbing Peni's attention

You love this YouTuber, huh? Miles asked

Yeah! He remixes the most popular songs with an English/Japanese blend! Not to mention he does it in rock and it sounds so coool! Peni said excitedly

That's awesome.

'Dang, when was the last time I've ever talked to a girl so normally? Well come to think of it, when was the last time I've even held a conversation with a girl who wasn't Gwen'

Hey Miles, do you have any plans for today?
Peni asked

Do I? Nah, I shouldn't have anything to do. Why? Do you want to explore the city more? He asked

Yeah, I wanna see more-

Well, well, well, isn't a surprise.

Miles & Peni both looked up to see a young Korean-American young man

Sup Ganke! Miles said happily as he stood up. You're back man!

Of course dude! I can't let you do something silly and get yourself in trouble... And... Who's your friend? I haven't seen her before.

Kon'nichiwa!
Peni said as she happily waved at Ganke

Oh crap right, sorry for not telling you about each other.
Peni, this is Ganke Lee! My best friend!

And an enthusiastic best friend and confidant to Miles! Ganke added. Nice to meet you! He said as he stuck his hand out

Peni stood up and shook his hand
It's a pleasure to meet you too. My name is Peni Parker, I just moved over here and Miles is showing me around.

She's also my neighbor. Miles added

Wow! A transfer student who's also your neighbor, and a girl? Color me impressed. Ganke said jokingly.

Don't get the wrong idea, it's not like that! Miles said gently slapping Ganke on the arm

Hm? What do you mean?
Peni asked as she slightly tilted her head

Normally when a new student comes here and already has someone being around them all of the time, that normally raises some eyebrows. Ganke answered

Come on dude, you know it's not like that. Miles said

Ganke chuckled Of course man, I'm just messing. But where is Gwen? Thought you would've been hanging around with her.

Oh, she's with her family out of town. She won't be back till a week and a few days.

Hm? Who's Gwen? Peni asked

Oh, Gwen, she's a friend of mine. Miles chuckled nervously

And a crush!
Ganke muttered under his breath

DUDE! Miles exclaimed

I see, that's very cute. Peni said as she smiled wholesomely. Did you tell her!? What did she say!? She asked frantically

I... I did... But... That didn't go well... He said reluctantly, slowly diverting his eyes from his friends' gazes

I'm sorry to hear that. Hm? Sorry but I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom.

Gotcha! Miles said

Peni quickly ran off back into the school

So... When are you going to date her?

DUDE! WHAT!? Miles exclaimed

Don't "Dude! What!?" me, dude! Ganke said as he folded his arms. You can't spend your life wasting over a girl who didn't want to date you.

I know but... She might change her mind.

Don't be that guy! Ganke said

What? What guy?! Miles asked

The guy who tries and waits for the girl of his dreams to accept his love and wastes his time and energy trying to make something work. I get it! You don't want to hear the truth because it hurts, if you don't, you'll be like the author! Wasted away 7 years of his life over a girl who he thought would make him the happiest man in the world, but had to face reali-

I get it, Ganke!
Miles said sounding slightly annoyed, he sighed as he placed his hands on each side of his face
How would I even go along with that!?

Just like how you asked out Gwen. Ganke answered

But I-

And no! I don't mean the awkward yapping. I mean talk to her like a normal friend! Then once you're ready, go for it! Ganke said nonchalantly

It's not easy to ask to-

I'm back!
Peni said as she walked up, Miles quickly looked back, slightly nervous

Don't worry dude, you don't have to do it now, only when the time is right! Alright? He whispered. Ganke patted Miles on the shoulder I gotta get going, I know the other teachers starting to miss me! See you two later! He said as he walked off

What were you two talking about? Peni asked

O-oh you know, guy stuff! He said quickly as his face was sweaty

Oh... O-okay.
'Weird... Didn't think Miles would be the pervy type, but he's a young growing boy, so I can't be too surprised'

Hey... Peni, would you... like to hang out... You know... after school? He tried to ask as normally

I'd be happy to go! She said happily

C-cool! He said awkwardly
'Great! Now this feels so embarrassing!'
