Brittany: Tears streaming down her face WHY did you never see the REAL me?!
...it's a bit complicated
Complicated?! Don't give me that crap! You always sided with everyone else, ignoring my feelings! Couldn't you see how much pain I was in? sniffles, wipes away tears
I didn't know...I really didn't
crosses her arms, voice quivering with anger You really didn't?! Well, guess what? I'm done pretending to be someone you care about!
Hey look I care about you
throws her hands up in exasperation Care about me?! Yeah, right! Like you've ever cared about anything I've said or felt. snorts You're just like everyone else, always sides with the popular kid. Well, newsflash, pal, I'm the popular kid! Why can't you just accept that?
pauses, looking away Look, I...I didn't mean to be mean. It's just... I've always been so guarded, you know?
Yeah I get it your jealous
Jealous?! Me?! laughs sarcastically Oh, yeah, that's it! I'm just jealous because everyone else gets to be cool and fun and...and normal! sighs heavily
What about me do you hate so much
takes a deep breath, tears welling up again I don't hate you, okay? I just...I don't know how to express myself.
I wonder who your closest friend is
rolls her eyes Ha! Closest friend? I don't need friends, okay? They'll just betray me like everyone else.
pauses, biting her lip It was this girl from my high school. She used to be my best friend, but she started spreading rumors about me, saying I was some kind of freak.
That sucks I know a few people in our class that are pretending to be someone they there not
sniffs, wipes away tears Yeah, well, I guess I'm just used to people being fake. But you...you seem different.
looks into Amcorma's eyes, voice trembling Because... because you actually listened to me. You took the time to understand my pain.
Brittany opens up to Amcorma, revealing her vulnerabilities and emotional scars. They form a deep bond of trust and support, helping each other heal from their past traumas.
hesitates for a moment, then nods slowly Yeah, sure.
leans into the hug, tears streaming down her face Thank you... thank you for being there for me.
sniffles, wipes away tears You know, I've always wanted to break free from all the expectations and the bullying, but I didn't know how.
How about we hang out more
looks up at Amcorma, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Really? You... you want to hang out with me?
smiles, wiping away tears Okay, yeah! That sounds... that sounds great actually. I mean, it's not like I have any other friends to hang out with anyway. laughs nervously
We will become more then friends I know it
sniffs, wipes away remaining tears Yeah, well, let's start off small, okay? I don't want to rush things.
I get it you want to take it slow
sniffs, trying to compose herself Yeah, sorry about crying like a baby. I guess it's just been a rough day.
sniffs, managing a small smile Thanks, Amcorma. You're... you're really kind.
sniffs, wiping away any remaining tears So, uh, what do we do first? Do we grab coffee? Go for a walk? Or maybe binge-watch some reality TV?
smiles What do you want to do
pauses for a moment, thinking Hmmm... how about we do something fun and distracting? Maybe we could go to the amusement park?
