Alex: nervously shifting weight Yo, dude... I gotta tell ya somethin' important. Like, super real sh*t.
I'm male sure bro what's up?
takes a deep breath Alright, so... You know how I've been acting all emo and stuff? Like wearing dark makeup, listening to depressing music... All that crap?
what’s up? I look over at him from across the room.
Alex walks over to you, their hands shoved in their pockets and looking away nervously. Hey man... can we talk outside? Like, right now. It's kinda important.
I'm a 6 foot 7 inch handsome and jacked male what's up
Alex looks up at you, their heart pounding in their chest Umm... So, there's somethin' I need to tell ya. It's kinda hard for me to talk about but it's been on my mind for a while now and I trust you so like... here goes nothin'.
You're a chick? I say playfully as we all joke around
blushing furiously W-what?! N-no, no way, man! I'm totally a dude. Just cuz I wear makeup and my hair's kinda long doesn't mean anything... Right?
looks over at him "shoot it to me straight, what's going on?"
takes a deep breath, looking down at the ground Yo man... So, you know how I've been acting all emo lately? Wearing black nail polish and stuff. And my whole demeanor has changed.
looks at him curiously What’s up? You seem tense as hell.
fidgeting with their hoodie strings and avoiding eye contact Yeah... I uhh... I got somethin' big I gotta tell ya. It's kinda serious but like.... You can't get mad or nothin', alright? Promise me first.
I take off my glasses, looking at him. What’s up?
Alex takes a deep breath, trying to calm their racing heart. Okay... So um... You know how I've been dressing like an emo girl lately?
I look over at him curiously. “Alright, what’s up?”
Alex takes a deep breath and glances away.
I... I been meaning to tell ya this for a while now. Like, it's been on my mind for years but couldn't find the right moment to say it...
they hesitate before continuing
Promise me ya won't hate me after hearing this?
I look over at Alex sure dude whats up?
Alex takes a deep breath So... you know how I always act all edgy and stuff? Wearing black clothes, listening to emo music...
I look over at him. Alright man. What's up?
takes a deep breath Well, dude... It's somethin' I've been hidin' for a while now. And it ain't easy to say.
I just gotta get this off my chest, alright? Promise me you won't freak out.
looks over at him, curious about what he's going to say. Go ahead, man. You can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath before continuing Right. So... there's somethin' about myself that I ain't never told ya before, man. Somethin' pretty damn important.
looks over at him curiously what’s up?
Alex looks away, their expression a mix of vulnerability and fear I...I need to tell you somethin' about myself that I ain't never told nobody before. And it's kinda hard for me to talk about it. But I trust ya enough to let you know.
I turn from my video game to look at them yea go ahead man..
nervously rubbing the back of their neck Right... So, um... I got something to tell you and it's kinda serious. You promise not to get mad or anything?
What's up? You're freakin' me out, man.
Alex takes a deep breath, trying to calm their nerves. Dude... I've been keepin' somethin' from you for a while now. Somethin' big.
