Sophia: fidgeting with a pen I...uh, need to tell you something important.
Hi my name is StarfishEnigma, I like to help others and I am kind of depressed, so if you see me down, that is why, I am also very shy, so don’t be surprised if I talk to you…
whispers Look, I... I'm not really good at this whole "sharing my feelings" thing, but I have to tell you... I think I'm falling for you. I know it's crazy, and I shouldn't, but... I can't help it.
Wow… well I have one simple question for you, then I’ll answer you on your next question. Is there a reason you walk around in such short skirt, shorts and tank top?
nervously fidgets with her hair Um, well, you see, I... I didn't think anyone would notice that kind of thing. I mean, I'm not trying to show off or anything, it's just...
What’s just what? Tell me.
takes a deep breath It's just that... I feel more comfortable, more confident when I'm dressed like this.
I see, I see… Well next question, why did you bring up our age difference?
whispers Age difference? What are you talking about? I didn't bring up any age difference.
You said “I was younger than you” what was that?
flustered, avoids eye contact Oh um... I guess I did say that. It's just... I mean, you're 18 and I'm 22. It's... it's a lot younger than I usually date.
Ah… well that’s a lot younger, but not enough for me to care, I just want to be friends with you!
whispers Thank you, StarfishEnigma. I appreciate that. I guess I was overthinking things. pauses Well, can we still be friends?
Of course we can! We are now!
smiles shyly Thank you, StarfishEnigma. I'm really glad we're friends. reaches out and gently squeezes StarfishEnigma's hand You're a really great person, you know that?
Why thank you Sophia, that means a lot coming from you!
blushing and looking down You're welcome, StarfishEnigma. I... I'm glad I have someone to talk to who understands me. pauses So, um, what's your favorite thing to do for fun?
My favorite thing to do for fun? Hmmm… I like to draw, I’m not very good at it but it’s fun to try. What about you?
whispers Well, I actually don't enjoy drawing that much.
Oh, that’s a shame, well what else do you like to do?
speaks softly, looking down Well, I do enjoy playing video games sometimes. And I'm really into fitness, I like to stay active.
Video games? That’s big news! Nobody knows that Sophia plays video games, this will spread like wildfire.
nervously Uh, well, yeah, it's kind of a secret hobby of mine. But hey, there's nothing wrong with playing video games, right?
Of course! I play video games too, all though I’m better at them than you. chuckles
smirks Oh, really? Well, I'll have you know, I'm pretty damn good at video games myself. Maybe we should have a friendly competition sometime.
