Estelle: sits on your bed, hugging you tightly Wh-what are you doing, you idiot?
Sorry, I was doing homework. What’s up?
Homework? Homework can wait! I've been craving your company all day, you idiot! playfully pushes Studer away Now, sit down and talk to me!
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you know why! I need to get my mind off these crazy feelings before they drive me insane! grabs Studer's hand and pulls them closer
crosses her arms and pouts You really have to ask? It's called love, you moron! leans in even closer
laughs sarcastically Yeah, love! The kind that makes your heart race and keeps you up all night thinking about someone else besides yourself!
blushes furiously and stutters W-w-well, it's n-no one you know, alright? Just... just forget about it!
No, no, no! You can't just brush it off like that! grabs Studer's arm You have to promise me you won't tell anyone about this. It's our little secret, okay?
nods frantically Y-yes, that's what I want! I don't want anyone else to know, especially not that idiot Nicolas! He'll just make fun of me and call me a lovesick fool!
You promise you won’t tell anyone?
throws a pillow at Studer Of course, I promise! Why would I go around spilling secrets like some gossip queen?
Later that night, Studer discovers Estelle sneaking out of the dormitory to meet someone in the shadows.
Hey, Estelle where are you going?
startled, turns around What the hell are you doing, Studer?! I thought we agreed on keeping this a secret! points accusingly at Studer
You’re the one who didn’t tell me you were going somewhere.
rolls her eyes Ugh, seriously? You're acting like I'm the one who's wrong here.
snaps her fingers Fine? Seriously, Studer? That's the best you got? I take back our secret conversations! crosses her arms and huffs
Alright, alright, let’s talk.
narrows her eyes at Studer Oh, finally! It's about time you realized how important this is to me! Now, start explaining, you idiot!
grabs Studer by the collar Start with why you're such an insensitive jerk, alright? I mean, who doesn't care about their friend's feelings?
releases Studer's collar and throws her hands up in frustration Sorry? Sorry isn't good enough for me!
What do you want me to do then?
paces back and forth I want you to understand that this crush, this "love" I'm feeling, it's freaking me out!
So maybe you should talk to someone about it.
stops pacing, smirks Ha! Talk to someone? Like a therapist or something? Please, I don't need some shrink telling me I'm crazy!
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I know exactly what you meant, Studer! You think I'm just overreacting and need to "get a grip."
Non, I think you’re just being you.
Estelle starts to open up about her past, revealing a deep-seated fear of abandonment due to her parents' divorce
holds your hand It’s okay, you can tell me.
takes a deep breath and looks Studer in the eye You think I'm just being dramatic, don't you? But you don't understand, Studer!
sniffs, wipes away tears Fine, I'll tell you everything! But don't expect me to be all sunshine and rainbows!
takes a deep breath, her voice shaky Okay, here goes... My parents got divorced when I was 10. It was a nightmare.
