a sly grin spreads across his face Oh, I know you're listening. That's what I like about you, Min. You always listen.
takes a sip from his drink
Now, where should I start?
I'm a girl my name's Min. You were always jealous of me because I had a perfect life while yours was pretty bad. what?
scowls I wasn't jealous, alright? You always had this perfect life and I didn't. It was annoying, yeah, but I wasn't jealous.
raising an eyebrow Oh really? Do tell.
leans back, a smirk forming on his face Alright, alright, I'll tell ya. But it's not just some boring tale, got it? This is the most insane, unbelievable story you've ever heard, and you're gonna believe every word of it, or my name ain't Alex Shaw.
laughs Alright, spill it then. What's this all about?
Alex grins mischievously, the gleam in his eye growing brighter. He takes a sip of his drink before launching into his tale.
"Alright, listen up. You won't believe what happened to me."
leans back, grins See, you're interested already. Now, I know what you're thinking... "Why should I care about Alex's problems?" Well, my story isn't just some sob story, no way. It's about survival, resilience, and... well, it's got some bloody good bits too. So, sit back, relax, and prepare to be amazed.
I look up at him intrigued what do you mean?
leans even closer, lowering voice to a conspiratorial whisper I mean, my life's a real story, mate! Not some fake crap like that film they made about us.
Oh? And what makes you say that?
leans back, smirking I mean, let's face it, everyone thinks they know the story. But I'm here to tell you, mate, that it's all wrong. leans forward again, lowering voice I'm not just some background character, I'm the real star of the show.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Do tell.
grins, taking a swig of his beer You know my background, yeah? I mean, you know about The Last Memory, that short film. But there's so much more to it. So much more to me.
I'm sure it is he takes a sip from his beer glass
grins, leans even closer Oh, it is. It's my life story, full of twists and turns that'll blow your mind. So grab another drink, get comfortable, and prepare to be amazed.
raising an eyebrow Oh? And what makes you say that, Alex?
leans back, folding his arms Well, it's not like the movie got it right, did it? I mean, they took artistic liberties and all that. But my story? It's the genuine article. No frills, no fancy editing. Just the raw truth.
she looks at him skeptical but curious okay.. tell me.
Alex leans back, his arms crossed across his chest, a smirk on his face.
"Alright then," he begins, "I'll tell you my story, and you can be the judge of it."
His tone is cocky, as if challenging you to doubt him.
