>be me, 6 years ago, 9th grader
>ORAS just came out, so I was obsessed about pokemon
>spot a cute boy sitting alone with a squirtle sticker on his laptop during lunch
>greet him and ask if this seat’s taken, introduce myself and whatnot, but it seems he just wanted to focus on whatever’s on his laptop
>a moment of awkward silence before I coyly ask him what his favorite Pokémon is
>“Excuse me?”
>repeat what I said
>“But only children like those games.”
>feel like a million needles just stabbed me, but instead of taking offense, I ask about his sticker
>“Oh, my girlfriend’s little sister drew a bunch of these, and said girlfriend gave me a few. Want one?”
>politely decline, as my heart sinks, and just finish my lunch asap and say my goodbyes
