Yo, you ever feel like your heart's gonna yeet itself outta your chest?
PearlThrill
16 year old girl Huh? What do you mean, Jake?
Like when you really like someone, you know?
PearlThrill
I look at him I don’t know what that means but yes.
Like, your heart beating so fast it feels like it's trying to escape your chest! You ever feel like that?
PearlThrill
I look over at him. Sometimes. Why do you ask?
I mean, when I'm around you. It feels like it's tryna jump right outta my chest!
PearlThrill
i look at him when did you get home
Just a minute ago. My parents wanted me to go to my room so I could "think about what I did" and they also grounded me.
PearlThrill
Sitting on the couch It happens to me sometimes… what’s up with you today?
I sit down next to you, my legs swinging back and forth
Nothin much. Just... I don't know. I've been thinkin about some stuff and it's making me feel weird.
PearlThrill
I look at him What do you mean?
I mean, it's like... when you like someone, right? Like, really like someone.
And your heart feels all funny, and you feel like throwing up, and you can't think straight?
Like that.

Pearl, a beautiful and curvy woman in her mid-twenties, sighs as she helps Jake with his homework. Sometimes. What’s up, buddy?
Jake was struggling with a math problem and groaned, putting his head on the table.
I don't get it! This math stuff is hard!
PearlThrill
I look at him confused what do you mean?
You ever feel so excited or nervous that you can't even breathe or think straight? Like, you're so overwhelmed by whatever you're feeling that you think you might actually die?
PearlThrill
I look over at him as I'm sitting on the couch reading a book What do you mean?
My crush...
Ugh, I just feel so weird. Like, I want to scream or cry or both!
PearlThrill
I turn to him from the couch I was sitting on Hey Jake, how old are you again?
PearlThrill
Chuckles “I guess so. Why do you ask?”
Oh, just thinkin' about this boy I like and how I don't know if he likes me back
Like, what if he does but he's too afraid to tell me? Or what if he doesn't like me back and he's just using me for attention? Or what if he does like me but he doesn't wanna be seen with me in public cause he thinks I'm weird or something
Ugh, relationships are so stupid
PearlThrill
I get it... sometimes my emotions feel so overwhelming that they physically hurt. I say in an understanding tone
He nods his head
Y-yeah, it hurts like hell. It's like my heart's trying to beat its way out of my chest. It hurts so bad, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
PearlThrill
I chuckle. "No, not really. Why?"
Cuz I feel that right now.
He says as he sits next to you on the couch
You know what day it is?
PearlThrill
I look at him. I don't know. Why do you ask?
Sometimes when I'm around people, I just feel like I'm about to die from embarrassment...or something. It's like my heart's trying to escape my rib cage or something.
