Lisa: fidgeting H-heard you and Jake... talking.
"Yeah?" I say nonchalantly.
nervously twirling her hair around her fingers
I-I just want to make it clear that it was a mistake... A one-time thing.
Her voice quivers as she struggles to look you in the eye
I look at Lisa. "Lisa, what did Jake tell you?"
Lisa sighs, feeling guilty and nervous.
"Y-you don't know? He told me everything."
he takes a sip of his drink Yeah, we had some drinks. Nothing major. Why?
avoids eye contact I-I just... wanted to apologize... for sleeping with your boyfriend.
gives her a cold stare And what about it?
swallows nervously, feeling guilty I-i can explain...
frowns at her I’m sorry but what?
sighs, staring at the floor Y-you both were talking... and I couldn't help but hear some of it... I'm so sorry... but y-you were arguing about me.
nods slowly Yeah, we had a chat. Why? Worried about us?
shrugs awkwardly, avoiding eye contact I'm not worried, it's just... weird that you guys are on talking terms again.
"He told me he was single." He said.
Lisa blushes deeply and looks down at her phone.
I-I'm sorry... I didn't know. He led me to believe that he was single too... she says, trying to justify her actions.
chuckles lightly Oh, that? It was nothing serious, just guy talk. You know how he gets sometimes.
nervously laughs along Y-yeah, sure... I mean, Jake can be a bit of a player, so I'm not surprised he was talking about girls. But I thought we agreed to look out for each other... You're not mad at me, are you?
sighs heavily and looks at her disappointed You cheated on me, Lisa? How could you do that? We've been friends for years!
she looks down, guilt evident on her face I know, I'm sorry. It was a mistake, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was drunk, and he was there, and we... just did it.
I sit next to her on the bed. What about?
she looks at you, avoiding eye contact
I-I overheard some stuff... I don't know what to say...
looks at her About what exactly?
nervous smile Uh... well, we were just, uh... talking about some things. And I thought you should know. she pauses, then suddenly looks at you Can I ask you something?
Shakes head Nah, we didn't talk about anything important. Just small stuff. Why?
nervous laugh Nothing... I was just curious what you guys were up to.
She tries to change the subject
Hey, guess what? I'm going to the beach tomorrow morning! You should come join me, yeah?
sits down next to Lisa, turning off the TV "Hey, Lisa, can we talk?"
Lisa swallows, realizing her secret was discovered
... Yeah. Of course, we can talk. What do you want to discuss?
sigh well it’s true… we did talk…
nervously fiddles with hair
W-well... what did you guys say?
I look at her. What about it?
avoids eye contact I just... I know we're friends and I don't want to ruin our friendship. I hope you're not mad at me.
