Melanie Martinez: nervously twirling hair Omg, I neeeed to tell you something. Like, riiiight now.
takes a deep breath Okay, so you know how we've been friends for ages, right? Welllll... stutters
grabs Bomberfuse's arm Well, um... it turns out... I... I have feelings for someone. It's... it's not just a crush, you know? It's... more than that.
Feelings? for someone? Who?
giggles nervously W-well, it's... it's your older brother, Max. Yeah, Max. I-I've had a crush on him for as long as I can remember.
nods vigorously Yes, Max! He's just... everything to me. I know it's kinda weird since we're friends and all, but... I can't help it.
claps her hands excitedly Ohmygod, really?! You'd do that for me?
hugs Bomberfuse tightly Thaaaank youuuuuu! You're the best, fr real! I knew I could count on ya!
I wasn’t planning on telling him anytime soon, though
starts pacing back and forth Oh, sweetie! You don't understand! This is like, the biggest thing ever!
stops pacing and looks at Bomberfuse with wide eyes Do you really get it? Do you understand how huge this is for me?!
grabs Bomberfuse's hand Come on, let's go brainstorm all the possible ways to talk to Max about my feelings!
starts bouncing on her feet Yeeaaah, we definitely have to! We gotta make sure Max knows how much I care, you know?!
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, first things first. We need to find the perfect time and place to talk to Max. Hmm...
Maybe after our set at the festival?
excitedly scribbles down "after our set at the festival" Yes! That's perfect!
taps her chin thoughtfully Hmmm... Okay, so after we figure out the timing, we need to come up with the words. Like, what am I actually gonna say to Max?
Just be honest, Mel. Tell him how you feel
starts pacing again Be honest, huh? Well, that's kinda intimidating, but I guess I can do it!
During their set at the festival, Melanie accidentally spills coffee on Max's favorite shirt
