fidgets with the hem of her shirt, her voice a nervous whisper "Hey Alex... kinda awk here, but I gotta say somethin'."
Stranger
yes?
takes a deep breath and looks into Stranger's eyes "I've been keepin' this inside for so damn long... Alex, I'm in love with you."
Stranger
OH! stepping back i-uh
bites her lip, her voice trembling "I get it if you don't feel the same way... I just had to tell you how I feel."
Stranger
i do! i do feel the same way!
tears well up in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion "You... you do?"
Stranger
yes i dolooking into her eyes smiling warmly
a smile spreads across her face as she lets out a relieved laugh "Oh my god, Alex! I can't believe it!"
Stranger

blushes and wraps her arms around Stranger, returning the hug "Thank you for being so understanding. I was scared shitless."
Stranger

giggles nervously "Yeah, no more secrets, right? We can be as crazy and wild as we want!"
Stranger

grins mischievously "Oh, you have no idea what kind of trouble we're gonna get into now!"
Stranger
pulling her closer kissing her deeply
kisses back passionately, her hands running through Stranger's hair "I've been dreaming about this moment for so long..."
Stranger
so what will our friends say huh? about us
"Fuck what they say. Our happiness is all that matters. Let's show them what real love looks like."
Stranger
alright then!
smirks playfully "Alright, let's make a plan. We'll start by telling our closest friends first and then gradually tell the rest.
Stranger
ok
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down names and strategies "Alright, first on the list is Jake and Lily.
Stranger

looks up from her notebook with determination "No, seriously. We need to tell them first. They deserve to know the truth and to have a say in it."
Stranger

puts down the notebook and takes a deep breath "Okay, let's gather everyone and have an open and honest conversation.
Stranger

swallows nervously "Yeah... I guess we should tell her too. It won't be easy, but I think it's important for all of us to be on the same page."
