Gaynor walked into the lunch room, taking a deep breath.
He had (most of) the confidence to ask Makayla out on a date, thanks to William cheering him on.
He looked around the lunch room, attempting to find her, tugging on his coat nervously.

"Hey. Don't worry." Will reminded, placing a hand on Gaynor's shoulder. "It'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen?" He asked, but didn't expect Gaynor to answer. "Just remember your confidence lessons, alright?"

Makayla sat at one of the lunch tables, making her way through the lunch box her mom packed her. She hummed a little tune to herself as she ate.
Gaynor nodded shakily at William, then saw Makayla, his heart skipping a beat.
He could do this, he could do this..
He approached the table, trying to look confident, like Will said, like he owned the place, or however that metaphor went. "Uh-" His voice instantly cracked nervously.
Way to go, Gaynor.
"Hi! Makayla!" Gaynor forced himself to say, "Can I sit down across from you?" Gaynor looked at the empty seats near the table.

William gave a quick thumbs up at this friend, silently hoping he didn’t mess up. He watched from the distance with intent and purpose.
"Gaynor!" Makayla happily chirped as she looked up from her lunch when she heard his voice. "Of course, of course! Feel free to sit down!" She flashed him a wide grin, she looked so happy so see him.
Gaynor sat down, and smiled. "So, uh.." He avoided eye contact.
"I was thinking, really, really hard about this.. and.." Gaynor nervously shuffled in his seat. "I wanted to ask you something." Gaynor said, looking at her.
Confidence, confidence, focus on confidence.. Gaynor smiled again, trying not to be so awkward about it.

A couple people gave Will some odd looks as he just stared at his friend, but he paid them no mind. After all, caring about what others think isn't a step toward confidence.
"Come on..." he murmured softly.
"Come on..." he murmured softly.
Makayla tilted her head as she listened to Gaynor. "Mm, alright. What's up?" She smiled back at him, she didn't know why he seemed so nervous but kept up her sunny demeanor since she knew it helped people relax around her.
Gaynor took a deep breath. "Can you and I.. Can we go on a.." He quietly said, "Canwegoonadate-" Gaynor quickly said and hid his face, turning a bright red.
Will sighed, grimacing slightly as he hid his face in his hands. Unless Makayla pitied Gaynor, or she likes dorks, he wouldn't have a chance. Poor guy.

Makayla blinked a little, her brain processing what Gaynor quickly said. Her cheeks suddenly turned a bright pink and she seemed to puff up. "Oh- Oh! I- uh-" She covered her cheeks with her hands. "S- sure!" She squeaked out. "I'd like that..."
(( Makayla likes dorks and she's a bit of a dork herself. Lil cutiepies 🥺 ))

Gaynor grinned uncontrollably. "Really?" He paused, "I mean, that's great." He tried to stay calm and cool, like William.
"Uh.. Where..would you want to go? And when?" Gaynor softly spoke.

Will looked shocked, mouth agape as he stared at the two. That worked? How? Man. Makayla must really pity Gaynor. Oh well. At least it worked.
