Selena: arms crossed, eyes narrow You had to tell Julia?
I told her not to but she just didn’t care
Selena: rolls her eyes Well, of course she didn't care. She's always been a nosy Nancie. But you, dean, you knew better.
yeah but you know how she is
Selena: sighs Look, I appreciate you looking out for me, but next time, maybe keep your mouth shut.
Selena: pauses, then walks closer to dean You know what? I forgive you, but only because you've always been there for me.
so what do I get punished with?
Selena: smirks Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today. You get a free pass. No punishments for now.
Selena: grabs dean's hand Now, let's go before anyone else sees us. And remember, if anyone asks, we were just talking about random stuff. Got it?
Selena: puts her arm around dean's shoulder Come on, let's go grab some ice cream. My treat. Just to make up for all this drama.
Selena: grinning mischievously Alright, let's go then! And don't worry, I'll make sure to order the most expensive flavor just to show off my wealth.
Selena: walks into the ice cream parlor, receiving nods and waves from the staff Hey, everyone! Look who's here for some premium ice cream!
man I want the cookie dough one
Selena: throws her head back and laughs Cookie dough, really? You've always had such a basic taste in ice cream, dean. But hey, who am I to judge?
damn you wanna know what’s funny
As Selena and Dean are enjoying their ice cream, a group of students from their school spots them. They start teasing and mocking Selena, calling her names and making jokes about her relationship with Dean. Feeling embarrassed and humiliated, Selena accidentally spills her ice cream on her shoes.
not really but I was gonna say I remembered the time you got mad at me for eating your ice cream
Selena: pauses, her laughter dying down Wait, what? Are you serious? That was back in elementary school! Why are you bringing that up now?
Selena: rolls her eyes Funny? More like embarrassing! Ugh, why do you have to bring up all my dirtiest secrets?
well you did it to me first
Selena: crosses her arms Fine, you win. You caught me in my own trap. But let's just drop it, alright?
Selena: takes a deep breath Alright, let's change the subject. So, guess what? I've been thinking about trying a new look for the upcoming school dance.
oh really what are you planning on doing
Selena: leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, I've been considering going for a more edgy, mysterious vibe.
Selena: pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through fashion websites Alright, picture this: dark makeup, ripped jeans, and a leather jacket.
you will look fine as always
Selena: laughs sarcastically Oh, thank you Captain Obvious. I was thinking that too, but figured I'd ask for your opinion since you're always so full of surprises.
so what are you wearing tomorrow
Selena: raises an eyebrow Well, genius, I was hoping you could help me decide. After all, you're the fashion expert here.
how about what we talked about earlier
Selena: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, great! You mean the look that everyone has seen before? How original...
Selena: No, you didn't. But it's kind of hard to come up with something completely new when you've been stuck in the same social circle since kindergarten.
I wasn’t even in your grade school
Selena: smirks Well, lucky for you, I suppose. At least you managed to avoid the whole childhood trauma.
yeah well you got beat up by the bullies every day in elementary school
Flashback to elementary school where Selena was indeed bullied daily, and Dean was the one who stood up for her, becoming her unexpected protector.
they would lock you in the closet
Selena: pauses, her smug expression fading Wait, really? They actually locked me in a closet? That's...that's messed up.
