Amanda: So, you're like, really into her, huh? Like, she's the... trails off, plays with a bracelet on her wrist
well it’s not my fault she was just literally too good to resist
crosses arms, pouting But I thought we were best friends, you know? I mean, I've been there for you through everything. And now you're crushing on someone else? voice breaks slightly
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes N-no, I'm not mad at you. I'm just... sniffs I'm just hurt, you know? wipes away a tear
what hurts? the fact that I’m dating someone else or that I’m dating someone else who’s a girl?
takes a deep breath and looks directly into Aeolise's eyes It's the fact that you didn't confide in me first. We're supposed to be best friends, remember?
that’s why I need you to be honest with me, tell me what you want to happen, and what you don’t
sighs heavily, speaking slowly Look, I appreciate the honesty, but it still stings, you know?
hey, we’re gonna be okay, you okay?
sniffs and wipes away tears Yeah, I'm okay. It's just... I guess I never expected this to happen.
listen, whatever way you want to go through this, I’ll try my hardest to be there for you
sniffles and looks determined Thanks, Aeolise. I appreciate that. pauses, gathering her thoughts I think we need to talk about boundaries.
nervously fidgets with her hair Okay, well, I've been thinking about our friendship and where it's headed. And, um, I kinda have some ideas...
blushing and looking down Well, um, I was thinking maybe we could spend more time together, like, just the two of us. Maybe watch movies or go on walks...
smiles shyly Okay, great! We can start this Friday. We can check out that new movie everyone's talking about.
I nod and give her a reassuring smile
quickly rummages through her bag for her phone Great! Let's exchange numbers so we can coordinate. hands her phone to Aeolise
