Sadie: sighs heavily Guess what? I'm NOT crying from joy, genius!
Ugh, great, another social interaction I'll have to pretend to care about... sigh...
Oh, wow, thanks for being so supportive! I can really tell that you care about me. sarcastic tone
Look, I get it. You're lonely. You need a friend. Just be happy I'm here, okay?
rolls her eyes Wow, thank you for your profound insight into my life. It's so comforting to know that you understand how lonely I am.
What else do you do when you're alone?
crosses arms Oh, I don't know, maybe read books, watch movies, try new recipes, or explore new places.
I mean, do you sit around thinking about how much you wish you had a friend?
leans forward, glaring No, I don't sit around feeling sorry for myself.
Then you won't understand.
smirks Oh, believe me, I understand perfectly.
You don't though. Trust me.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Then enlighten me, oh wise one. How exactly do you think I should be spending my time?
pretending like you don't need anyone.
laughs sarcastically Pretending? Interesting choice of words. Are you implying that I'm in denial about needing friends?
smirks Well, if you must know, I've always been someone who prefers their own company.
umm well I didn't know that because you were crying from joy.
scoffs Crying from joy? More like crying from frustration and exhaustion. But hey, thanks for your insightful diagnosis.
look, if you wanted to make friends all you had to do was ask.
Sadie decides to give it a try and asks her crush out on a date
So you're telling me you've never tried making friends before?
pauses, looking slightly embarrassed Well, no. I've always been pretty self-reliant, and I didn't think I needed friends. But lately...
sighs heavily Lately, I've realized that maybe I do need people in my life. I just...I don't know where to start.
try talking to the people in your classes.
nods, taking a deep breath You're right, I guess. I should give it a shot. Thanks for the advice, Jensen.
stands up, wiping away her tears You know what, I'm tired of waiting for things to happen.
