Not a great day to be a couple

A couple walks in going toward a corner seat. Man in green shirt is holding a back pack  and lunch box belonging to girl in pink shirt. They go to the corner to sit away from people. Both are speechless not acknowledging one another. Man in green shirt grabs girl in pink shirts hand but soon let’s go. Man in green shirt brings out his lunch with a sandwich and water. Offers girl in pink shirt some of his food but refuses. Soon, man in green shirt asked, “ how was your day?” She replies, “ it was okay. I just want to go home now.” Man in green shirt shortly pauses and looks away at another person. He then asks “what do you want to do about us?” Girl in pink shirt replies,” I don't know what's wrong but I just want it to stop.”

Both hesitantly shy away from each other without a word spoken. Man in green shirt eats his sandwich and gives another to girl in pink shirt. She accepts. They both begin eating remaining silent for quite a while. Man in green shirt soon leaves while girl in pink shirt pulls out her phone checking social media. Soon after a while, man in green shirts appears and girl in pink shirt quickly puts her phone away as he presents food from Einstein Bros. Begins by saying, “ I know we haven't been okay but this is me trying.” Girl in pink shirt gasp and takes a bagel pizza wrapped in a box. Both remain quiet again.

Man in green shirt shortly begins stating,” it's bad that you did it once to me but three times is hard to deal with.” Girl in pink shirt replies, “ I'm sorry and I'm changing my ways. I am a horrible person I know.” Man in green shirt roles his eyes and states, “ I'm here with you. Let's make this work. Let's do this together.” Girl in pink shirt replies, “ I love you. Let's kick ass together.” Both hug and kiss each other while man in green shirt remains with his eyes open. Both get up and grab there stuff stating, “ let's go to class then go home.” Leaving behind their wrappers from the food they just ate.
