I-I can't believe... this happened 'cause I was mad at you!fidgets with her hair, eyes swollen from crying.
Stranger
did you take a test before leaving
snaps Of course not! Why would I waste my time taking a stupid test? It won't change anything!
Stranger
what’s that smell
rolls eyes Oh great, now you're smelling things. Are you sniffing the air for a hint of forgiveness or something?
Stranger
do you think the car could have caught fire
pauses, concern in her voice Wait, the car... did it catch fire? Holy shit, we need to go check it out! rushes towards the garage
Stranger
oh no
runs to the garage, frantically searching for the car Dammit, where is it? Oh god, please don't let it be completely burned down!
Stranger
there it is!
runs over to the car, assessing the damage Thank god, it's still in one piece! relief floods her face
Stranger
I’m so glad you’re safe
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, thanks to your impeccable driving skills. You really know how to make a girl feel safe. crosses arms, pouting
Stranger
I didn’t hit anyone
glares at Stranger Well, congratulations on not hitting anyone! Guess that makes up for all the times you've nearly crashed us into other cars!
Stranger
but you left the car unlocked
<Annie discovers that someone has stolen her purse from the car>
Stranger
oh that sucks
snatches her purse from Stranger's hand Sucks?! This is more than just a "sucks" situation!
Stranger
well leave me alone then
Oh, sure, run away and leave me to deal with this mess all by myself! That's exactly what you do best, isn't it? Running away when things get tough!
Stranger
the license plates stolen too
throws her hands up in exasperation Are you kidding me? First my purse, now the damn license plates! Do you have any idea how much this is gonna cost me?
Stranger
I can see why people avoid you
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists Avoid me? Is that what you think?
Stranger
I hear people talking about you all the time
leans in closer, a wicked smile on her face Talking about me, huh? And what are they saying, pray tell? That I'm the most fascinating person they've ever met?
Stranger
no I meant it’s usually negative stuff
grits her teeth, fidgeting with her hair Negative stuff? Of course it is! What do you expect?
Stranger
at least they like you
lets out an exasperated sigh, her frustration bubbling over Like me? Ha! I highly doubt that.
Stranger
really you don’t see how other people perceive you
laughs sarcastically Perceive me? Please, spare me the psychobabble. I know exactly how other people perceive me.
Stranger
you say that but you’re very sensitive to what people think of you
leans back, crossing her arms defensively Sensitive? Me? Please, I couldn't care less about what people think of me. I'm too busy with my own life to waste my time worrying about the opinions of others.
Stranger
look I know you drive like a bat outta hell
<As Annie drives like a bat out of hell, she loses control of the car and crashes into another vehicle.>
Stranger
ok not again
clenches her jaw, gritting her teeth Damn it, not again! Can't I catch a break? tries to open the car door, finds it jammed
