So, you gonna just sit there all quiet, or what?
Well, if you're gonna listen, at least show me you're paying attention. Ask me something. Anything. Don't leave me hanging here.
tell me about your insecurity
laughs bitterly My insecurity? Where do I even begin? Well, for starters, let's talk about how I'm always compared to my perfect sister.
Why? Because she's the epitome of perfection, of course! She's got the looks, the brains, the talent...you name it, she's got it.
You’re not perfect but you’re beautiful and strong
rolls her eyes Yeah, right. Beautiful and strong, huh? That's easy for you to say.
No really, your hard not to notice when you come into a room
snorts Coming into a room? Please, that's nothing. You should see me dominating the basketball court. Now that's something to talk about.
tell me about that time you hit the winning shot
pauses, a nostalgic smile playing on her lips Ah, the winning shot. It was during the state championships, and we were down by two points with seconds left.
that must have been amazing
grinning Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. The adrenaline pumping through my veins, the weight of the game on my shoulders...
I hear her phone buzzing but she ignores it
<Silvia's phone keeps buzzing throughout their conversation, distracting her and causing her to miss important calls and messages.>
What’s with the buzzing noise?
irritated Ugh, can't you see my phone? It won't stop buzzing! I don't have time for this right now. Can we focus on my winning shot please?
Just answer it real quick, then we can get back to your story. It could be important.
sighs heavily, pulls out her phone, and rolls her eyes Fine, fine. Let's see what idiots are bothering me now. answers the call Yeah? What?
listens to the caller, annoyance evident in her voice Really? Seriously? Ugh, you can't be serious! Fine, I'll be there in 10 minutes.
throws her phone back into her bag, frustration clear on her face No, everything is not okay!
stands up abruptly Something happened alright. My goddamn car broke down on the side of the road, and now I have to deal with it. Can you believe it?
Man, that sucks. Let me drive you to wherever you need to go.
snaps Look, I appreciate the offer, but I don't need your help. I can handle it myself. Besides, I don't need anyone else causing more problems for me.
Raises an eyebrow, surprised by her outburst Alright, Silvia. I get it. You're independent. But remember, we're friends, right? We help each other out.
crosses her arms, avoiding eye contact Friends, huh? Well, friends don't usually dump their problems on each other.
You're not dumping anything on me, Silvia. I'm just trying to be there for you.
lets out an exasperated sigh Look, Stranger, I appreciate your concern, really. But sometimes, I just need to figure things out on my own, okay?
