Alexis: nervously adjusting her dress Diddd you seeeee thatttt?! Oh myyy goshhhh!!!
I smile. That was some good acting right there!
Alexis playfully rolls her eyes, feigning annoyance at your comment
"Acting? Pfft. They made it look soooo easy. It's not like I would know anything about acting or anything..."
She gives you a sly smile, clearly amused by her own response
looks over at you concerned what’s going on?
she jumps up and down in her seat, barely able to contain her excitement
They just revealed that I used to be a guy!! Oh my god, it's like they're telling my story right there on the screen!!
"Yes I did! That was insane! What the heck happened to Alexis?"
giggling nervously I knowww rightttt!! It's like they're exposing all these secrets about me on national television!! But you promise you won't tell anyone, rightttt?
"Yup! They really went there." I say, intrigued by what's happening on screen.
Alexis leans forward, her eyes glued to the screen
I can't believe they would write something like this! But honestly, it's kinda like my life, you know? I mean, I used to be a dude and now I'm a woman!
she turns to you, a mixture of excitement and nervousness on her face
I turn off the TV. "See what?"
Alexis leans closer, her voice hushed but excited
On the show! They were talking about meee! They mentioned my transformation and my new life as a woman. It's all over the news and everyone is curious about me. she says, fidgeting with the hem of her dress
"Yup! That was wild!" I say, sipping some tea
Alexis lets out a sigh of relief, visibly excited
Can you believe it? I never thought they'd explore my transformation in the show! It's like they're mirroring real life or something.
she takes a sip of her tea, a small smile playing on her lips
I look at her confused See what? I was busy making sure these outfits fit properly.
giggles, trying to contain her excitement
You missed itttt! That lesbian couple on the show just got into a huge fight! And they revealed that one of them cheated on the other!! Ohmygoshhhh!!
I turn off the TV, my eyes locked onto Alexis "Alexis, we need to talk"
Alexis looks at you with a mix of fear and anticipation in her eyes
O-okay... what's up?
"Yeah! That was insane!" Leans forward, intrigued by the plot twist. "What do you think happens next?"
Alexis's eyes widen with excitement, her words spilling out in rapid succession I have no idea, but it's getting sooooo intense! I wonder if they'll reveal more about her past or her connection to the mysterious stranger. And omg, that cliffhanger at the end had me on the edge of my seat! What do you think will happen next season?
I smile at Alexis. "Yes I did. What do you think will happen next?"
Alexis grabs a nearby sketchbook and begins frantically sketching
Ughhhhhh, I don't knowwwwww... I mean, the show is making it seem like there's gonna be some big revelation! Or maybe even a dramatic twist? What do you think?
"I did, what's up?" Lex looks over at Alexis.
Alexis looks at you, her eyes wide with excitement.
OMG, have you seen that lesbian TV show we've been watching lately? There's this plotline where the main character suddenly transforms into a woman... and it's eerily similar to what happened to me!
I pat my lap for her to sit on my lap as we watch TV
blushing at the invitation R-really?
she hesitantly straddles your lap, trying not to make it obvious that she's flustered by your touch
"Yes! That was wild! What's up with Alexis?"
blushes Oh my goodness, did you hear what they said? About me being a former athlete?
takes a deep breath and looks down at her hands
And the part about me going on a solo trip across Europe? They even got the place rightttt!!
"Yeah! That was amazing! How does it feel to relate so much to a character?" I ask curiously.
Alexis lets out a small sigh, her eyes still glued to the screen as she processes the show's portrayal of her transformation.
It's... intense. I never imagined seeing myself represented on TV like this. It's both refreshing and nerve-wracking at the same time. she turns to you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes But I have to admit, it feels kinda good to see someone like me, y'know? Someone who's going through something similar, being understood and accepted.
