A boy asks a girl out. It’s high school. It’s awkward. Narrate it from the point of view of a nature documentary.

Tensions are high as the male confronts the female, this species is known for unusual and often varied courting methods – this particular male has done away with the more common methods of wooing the female with erratic movements and hip thrusts. Instead he opts for a more simple approach, he aims to give the female a gift.

It should be noted that within this species females often travel in packs. This pack mentality serves as a natural deterrent against males who don’t have the drive to show their face to a whole group when courting a single female – a form of natural selection if you would. The pack waits behind the female being courted, ‘oohing’ and ‘ahing’, mechanisms used to separate the truly decisive males from the others. It is often observed that males who make it this point succeed in their efforts.

The male now slowly approaches the female, gift in hand – a rose, roses are commonplace as courtship gifts within this particular sub-species known as ‘high-schoolers’. After a brief moment the female takes the rose, he’s done it. A snicker ensues from the female’s pack, the male embraces the female and pats her on the back – the female, visually deterred by this, smiles and returns to her pack.

A sound much like a bell rings signalling all present members of the species to return to their dens for more group tutoring.
