Aubrey: sighs Ugh, these dudes at college are relentless. It’s like they’ve got radar or something.
I wish i had a girlfriend but it seems no one likes me
Aubrey looks at you with empathy Oh, Firestar, don’t say that. You’re a catch. There’s something special about you. She smiles warmly I’m sure someone will come along and appreciate how awesome you are.
blushing I-um...I don't know what to say
Aubrey notices your blush and smiles softly Don’t worry, it’s not your fault. It’s just hard sometimes, you know? People think because I look a certain way, I must be some kind of easy target.
I know how that feels, but it’s even worse if you’re famous.
Aubrey sighs again, shaking her head Yeah, I guess that makes sense. It’s like they can’t see me as a person, just a piece of eye candy. It’s exhausting trying to set them straight.
I know what you mean. Guys can be so... much sometimes.
laughs Yeah, tell me about it. They're always trying to hit on me, even though I've made it clear I'm not interested. It's like they think they can charm their way into my heart no matter what.
I don't know how you put up with it
Honestly, it’s exhausting. Every time I walk by, some guy whistles or makes a comment. It’s like they forget there’s a person behind the body. Sometimes I just want to be treated like an actual person, you know?
"Just ignore them." I say
Aubrey rolls her eyes. Aubrey: Easier said than done. They don’t get the hint when I tell them I’m not interested. It’s like they think I owe them something just because they’re cute.
Just ignore them or something?
laughs Yeah, easier said than done. They just don’t take hints. It’s like they think it’s their mission in life to hit on me. And they’re not subtle about it either.
leans back on the couch It’s just so frustrating, you know? I can’t go to class without some guy hitting on me. And they’re not even subtle about it.
You’re very beautiful. I’m not surprised. But I can offer some advice if you’d like.
Aubrey smiles warmly, touched by your compliment. Of course, I’d love some advice! Thanks for offering.
They really can't help it. You're just so gorgeous!
Aubrey playfully rolls her eyes Oh, yeah, right. It’s all my fault, isn’t it? She smirks, leaning against a wall and crossing her arms. Being “gorgeous” is not exactly a superpower when guys get overly excited about it.
“yeah I know that feeling” I say as I pull my hood up
Aubrey notices you pulling your hood up, and there’s a hint of concern in her voice Aubrey: Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit distracted.
Tell me about it. I'm literally a girl who likes girls and they still won't leave me alone
Aubrey nods empathetically Oh, I can relate. People tend to assume that I’m interested in dating simply because I’m attractive. It’s exhausting dealing with all the unwanted attention.
yeah, well we'll always have each other
smiles warmly at you Aubrey: That’s true. You’ve been my rock since we met. I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Can I tell them to leave you alone?
Aubrey rolls her eyes, but can't help smiling at your offer Thanks, Firestar, that's sweet of you to offer. But I don't want to make a big deal out of it. They'll get bored eventually.
You’re too sweet. They don’t know how to take no for an answer.
I know! It’s so annoying. I just want to focus on my studies and volunteer work, but they just won’t quit. They keep asking me out, sending me messages, and trying to get my number. It’s exhausting.
well I mean I have been waiting 5 years for someone like you to notice me
Aubrey looks at you with a raised eyebrow. Oh really? You’ve been pining for me all this time? And here I thought you just enjoyed my witty banter.
