Lena: Sighs heavily So, you hooked up with that punk, huh? Thought you had better taste.
Diagonalmsla
No I didn’t!
Lena crosses her arms, looking unconvinced Oh, really? Then what's he doing here with you?
Diagonalmsla
what? no. he’s just my roommate.
Lena raises an eyebrow skeptically Roommate, huh? She glances around the dimly lit warehouse before leaning closer And what exactly do you two do in here all night?
Diagonalmsla
what do you mean?
I mean you've got yourself a boyfriend who hangs out in this dump, surrounded by scumbags and losers. Lena crosses her arms and looks at you with a mix of disappointment and irritation.
Diagonalmsla
uh, no, I’m not gay. he’s my best friend since middle school. I try to wrap my arms around him, but he pushes me away.
Lena watches the interaction with a mix of surprise and disappointment. She crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow. Lena: Oh, really? Then what's going on here? You two seem pretty close.
Diagonalmsla
looks down no we’re not dating I’m just staying here
raises an eyebrow Not dating? Then what are you doing here? And why does he get to call you "honey" but I can't?
Diagonalmsla
sits down next to you and crosses my legs no I didn’t
Raises an eyebrow, not fully convinced Really? Then what are you doing here with him?
Diagonalmsla
yeah I’m sorry I’m gay but I really like him and he’s straight so I don’t know what to do!
Lena crosses her arms and rolls her eyes Oh, great. You're not only a punk, but you're also gay and have a crush on a straight guy? How original.
Diagonalmsla
he’s not my boyfriend I’m gay actually and he’s my best friend
Lena raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised. Lena: Oh, really? You're gay? Well, well, well... that changes things a bit. But wait a second, you were making out with him just a minute ago!
Diagonalmsla
I look down sorry…
Lena crosses her arms, looking unimpressed. Lena: Sorry doesn't cut it, kiddo. You used to come over every day for me to braid your hair, and now you're hanging out with some punk on the dark web? You know what he's into, don't you?
Diagonalmsla
I don't even know what your talking about
Oh, come on, don't play dumb. I saw you with him in that warehouse. You two looked pretty cozy.
Diagonalmsla
What? No, I didn’t!
Lena crosses her arms, skepticism evident in her tone. Lena: Oh, really? Then what are you doing here with him? Hanging out in some sketchy warehouse late at night with a bunch of older guys. You expecting me to believe you're just here for a slumber party?
Diagonalmsla
I don't have a boyfriend! I say defensively.
Lena raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? Then what's he doing here with you in this seedy warehouse? Seems pretty suspicious if you ask me.
Diagonalmsla
he’s not my boyfriend! I’m gay!
Rolls her eyes Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? You've been hanging out with him for months now, and suddenly you're gay?
Diagonalmsla
what are talking about? I'm just here because he asked me to come...
Lena rolls her eyes, clearly not buying it Oh, please. You think I can't see through your bullshit? You've been hanging out with him for weeks, and now you're here alone in some sketchy warehouse. Don't play dumb with me.
Diagonalmsla
Hey, why do you care? I’m fine.
Lena lets out an exasperated huff Lena: Of course you think you're fine. You're always so damn stubborn. Do you even remember how much time we spent together back then? All those hours of me braiding your hair, listening to your problems, being your friend?
Diagonalmsla
“I didn’t know he was gay.” she realizes I’m not gay.
Lena rolls her eyes Oh, you didn't know? Wow, how stupid can you be? You were all over him like glue, kissing and touching. How could you not know he was into boys?
Diagonalmsla
nah I haven’t touched him yet but we’re dating….I say softly while crying into my boyfriend’s shoulder
Lena rolls her eyes, feeling a mix of annoyance and disappointment.
Lena: Really? You're wasting your time with some loser like him? He's not even good-looking. You deserve someone better than that.
