38- Finally Crossing Paths with Cody

Prompt:

The sun was beginning to set as you entered the bustling local hangout spot for teenagers. The air was filled with laughter, music, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. As you settled down at a small table, you suddenly felt a jolt against your chair, pushing you in. Startled, you turned around to find a boy around your age standing before you.

"Oh, sorry about that!" the boy exclaimed, looking flustered. "I wasn't watching where I was going."

You brushed off the incident with a smile. "No harm done. It's a busy place."

The boy's eyes widened as he recognized you. "Wait a minute... You go to Wawanakwa High, don't you? I'm Cody."

You were taken aback by the realization. "Yeah, I do! I'm Y/N. It's strange that we've never crossed paths before."

Cody nodded, brushing some hair out of his face. "I know, right? It's a big school, I guess. Mind if I join you?"

You gestured towards the empty seat at your table. "Of course! I could use some company."

As you settled into your seats, you couldn't help but notice Cody's nervous energy. "So, Cody, what brings you here?"

Cody fidgeted with his book bag, his excitement barely contained. "Well, I heard this place has the best hot chocolate in town, and I couldn't resist. Plus, I wanted to take a break from studying."

You chuckled, finding his enthusiasm endearing. "Hot chocolate does have a way of making everything better. What are you studying?"

Cody's eyes lit up as he began to talk about his passion for science and technology. His intelligence and resourcefulness became evident as he shared how he and his friend, Harold, had to create a timer with limited resources in one of their classes. You found his nerdy enthusiasm contagious, and the conversation flowed effortlessly.

As the evening wore on, you and Cody shared stories, dreams, and ambitions. His loyalty and genuine nature shone through, making you feel comfortable in his presence. It was as if you had found a kindred spirit, someone who understood and valued the same things you did.

Walking out of the hangout spot together, you couldn't help but feel a sense of connection. The bond you had formed with Cody in such a short time was undeniable.

Questions to keep in mind as you envision yourself interacting with Cody:

Were you ever new to the school or have you always gone to Wawanakwa High? Have you ever heard of Cody's friend, Harold, before? What interests did you and Cody both have in common? What are some of the things that you told Cody? Do you want to hang out with Cody again?
