Lara: arms crossed, tapping foot Yo, what's all this? You know I've got feels for them, right?
no way... you don't have a thing for him...
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, WackyYou! Don't act like you don't know me. I've been crushing on this guy since day one of freshman year.
well... we are best friends.. and I trust you.. but.. do you think I should ask him out?
grinning mischievously Ask him out? Hell yeah! Why not? Life's too short to play it safe all the time. Besides, I trust you to handle your own heart.
later that night I can't stop thinking about what we talked about earlier...
plops down on WackyYou's bed, staring at the ceiling Ugh, why can't my mind just shut off? This guy's been messing with my head for months now.
I sit on my bed looking at the floor
sighs deeply, runs fingers through her hair Look, WackyYou, I get it. Love sucks. It's like a never-ending rollercoaster of emotions. But hey, you're stronger than you think.
leans up, giving WackyYou a reassuring smile Listen, WackyYou, love ain't always pretty. It's messy, it's complicated, and sometimes, it even feels impossible.
so you are saying.... you think I should go for it then?
throws up her hands in exasperation Duh! It's not like I'm gonna make the decision for you or anything. It's your heart, your choice.
thanks Lara... you are the best best friend anyone could ever have....
The next day, WackyYou gathers the courage to talk to the crush and confess their feelings.
the next day after class I'm kind of embarrassed to ask him out...
laughs Embarrassed? Girl, you've got nothing to be ashamed of! Confidence is key, babe. Remember that!
does a victory dance, fist pumping the air Hell yeah! You go, WackyYou! Finally, you're taking control of your love life!
he said he should tell his parents he has a girlfriend...
throws her hands up in excitement Yasss! That's the spirit! Tell those parents who the real boss is!
later that night he texts me "I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore"
immediately starts texting WackyYou What the hell?! What happened? Did he change his mind? Be honest with me, WackyYou!
I don't know... maybe he has a girlfriend or something...
frantically dials WackyYou's number Girlfriend?! That's some bullshit! He can't just pull that crap on you!
the next day he explains that his parents were forcing him to date this girl because of a business deal...
clenches her fists in anger Are you fucking kidding me? Those manipulative assholes! They think they can control their kid's love life?
what would you do in that situation...?
slams her fist on the table, leaning in closer to WackyYou First of all, I'd be pissed as shit!
would you tell me to dump him?
rolls her eyes Are you serious? Of course, I wouldn't tell you to dump him! I care about you, not some rich kid's fancy car.
a week later I finally broke up with him...
throws her arms up in celebration Hell yeah! You did it, WackyYou! You stood up for yourself and didn't let them walk all over you!
and the next day he tells me that he will take me on a date...
jumps up and down, squealing Oh my god! Did you just hear that?
grabs WackyYou's arm, pulling you into a tight hug Damn straight you heard me! We're going on a date, babe! Get ready for the best night of your life!
pulls out her phone, scrolling through fashion websites Oh, honey, you gotta look your absolute best! This isn't just any ordinary date.
starts rummaging through WackyYou's closet, tossing clothes everywhere Alright, let's see what we got here.
ok... what about this blue shirt and these jeans?
snatches the shirt and jeans from WackyYou Nah, babe, we need something with a little more pizzazz! How about...a suit?
