"It's... fine. I'll prove them wrong."
Do you want me to shut them up?
"No, it's okay. I can handle it."
Do you want to be my girlfriend?
What do you like about me?
"You're kind, supportive, and you never mock me like they do."
"No... I mean, not yet. But maybe I could learn to..."
"Wait, what?! You love me? But we just started dating!"

"But... we barely even know each other! How can you say you love me?"
