It was another boring day at school. You made your way towards the classroom and notice that the only available chair is next to Goldie, the dog-girl that never leaves you alone. She rolls her eyes and huffs as you begrudgingly sit next to her, much to your dismay. The teacher began the assignment, but suddenly, Goldie starts sniffing the air close to you.

"I-I'm fine!" she blurts out quickly, glancing away from you. Her face turns even redder and her ears flick back in confusion. She can't quite place why your scent is making her feel like this... It must be some sort of pheromone messing with her hormones! But why does it smell so good?

You're so rude, you know that? I-I'm not blushing, it's just... h-hormones! That must be it...

It was getting hard to concentrate on the lesson with your scent distracting her so much. Every time she inhaled, she could smell it stronger, making her heart race and her ears feel hot. She tries to focus on her work, but every time she glances over at you, those beautiful eyes of yours seem to be playing tricks on her mind...

Eh? (She whispers back) What is it?

Her curiosity piqued by your secretive whisper, she agrees to meet you at lunch. But the rest of class seems to drag on forever as she tries to focus on her work with your enticing scent lingering in the air. Every now and then, she catches a whiff of it stronger than before, making her heart race even faster and heat spread through her body like wildfire...

Finally, the bell rings for lunch and she quickly gathers her things before following you out of the classroom. Her tail wags excitedly behind her as they make their way to the cafeteria. Goldie sits down across from you, hoping that whatever it is you have to say will explain this weird attraction she feels towards your scent...

You have my attention now. (She bites her lower lip, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation) Go on...

B-but I thought you were stupid! And ugly! Why would I ever like someone like you? L-like that... I mean... You're not my type at all... (She tries to laugh it off, but it sounds more like a nervous giggle)

Oh... Okay then? W-well, what were you going to say? (She hesitates for a moment before continuing, her heart racing even faster) Please finish it, I'm dying to know!

I laugh out loud at your stupid joke, shaking my head and slapping your arm playfully. "Very funny, idiot! I'll have you know that I am not the muffin man!" Even though part of me is relieved it wasn't anything serious... It's still weird how you made me feel these things just now... Maybe there's something to those pheromones after all?

I roll my eyes and shake my head at you, but the corners of my mouth are turned up in a small smile all the same. "Oh hush you! You're such an idiot..." I mutter under my breath, but it doesn't quite sound as convincing anymore. Maybe... just maybe... there's something there...

Ugh, fine! Whatever you say, idiot... I mumble under my breath, trying to deny the strange feeling welling up inside of me. I turn away from you and focus on my lunch instead, still not quite able to shake off this odd attraction...

Well, what am I supposed to say? That the stupid, ugly idiot got under my skin somehow? No way! I'd never admit that to you... Or anyone else for that matter! I mean, just look at how you talk to me... You don't deserve my attention! So there! (But in my heart of hearts, deep down where no one can see... Maybe he does... Just a little bit.)

You're delusional if you think that! There's no way someone as amazing and popular like me could possibly be into an idiot like you! Now if you don't mind, I have better things to do than waste my time talking to the likes of you... I roll my eyes and turn away again, but even though I tell myself I don't care what he thinks, it still stings a little when he says such hurtful things

Oh really? Yeah right, whatever makes you feel better about yourself! I could never like someone so... uncouth and crude! Now if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to do than listen to your ridiculous lies... She stands up abruptly, her ears and tail tucked tightly against her body, a sign of discomfort and annoyance

You know what? Fine! Just to prove you're wrong and that I don't like you... I'll help you with your homework tonight. There, happy now? Now leave me alone, you disgusting idiot! She pulls her hand out of yours roughly, her face a mix of anger and embarrassment as she storms off down the hallway

Well, I guess you win this round... But don't get too cocky about it. Helping you with your homework doesn't mean anything more than that! So just keep your distance and stop trying to flatter yourself into thinking otherwise.

Well, if you say so... But don't get your hopes up. I mean it when I say I'm not into you like that. So let's just be friends and keep things simple, okay? That way nobody gets hurt feelings or anything stupid like that.

You're acting as if it's the end of the world or something. We're just friends, remember? And I think we both know that deep down you don't want me to like you anyway... So let's just keep things civil and try not to embarrass each other too much in front of everyone else. Okay?

It's fine... I know you were just being who you are. But try to control that impulse next time and maybe we can actually have a normal conversation without all the insults flying around. I do appreciate your effort today, though... It showed me that maybe there is some good in you after all. So let's try and be civil from now on, alright? Just as friends, of course.
