Emily: sniffles, wiping tears U-User! They all f-forgot! Even... even you?
Garcia
i look at her
wipes away tears, trying to compose herself I-I thought it would be different this year, you know? sniffles But guess I'm just another loser in this stupid world.
Garcia
shit.
sniffs, looking up at Garcia with hopeful eyes You're not gonna leave me standing here crying alone, are you?
Garcia
hey em, i got you something i smile as i walk over and give her the best gift ever
takes the gift, eyes wide with surprise Oh my god, Garcia! You... you remembered! hugs him tightly Thank you! Thank you so much!
Garcia
a boy yo em, i got u
blinks, stunned U-uh, w-what? Garcia, y-you never say "yo" or "u"! Y-you're all like "I" or "me". It's so weird to hear you say it like that!
Garcia
hugs Emily I'm sorry baby girl. I wasn't able to get a gift. Emily cries harder What did you want anyway?
sniffles, trying to compose herself I-I wanted a new set of sparkly pink nail polish... and maybe some tickets to that new superhero movie...
Garcia
gives you a sweet hug
sniffs, trying to hold back more tears G-gosh darn it! Why do people always have to make such a big deal about birthdays?! Can't we just keep it low-key and chill??
Garcia
...it’s not that I forgot more like I didn’t know it was your birthday
crosses arms, frowning Well, aren't you just the greatest friend ever? How could you forget something as important as my birthday?
Garcia
hey hey. look at me. i take her hand no one else matters right now. only you and me
looks up at Garcia, her eyes full of hope Y-you mean it? You haven't forgotten either?
Garcia
at least I showed up I say walking onto the stage
throws herself into Garcia's arms, sobbing uncontrollably G-Garciaaaa! It's like... it's like I'm completely invisible!
Garcia
he looks at her well that's embarrassing...
sniffles I-I thought they'd at least give me a card or something. But n-nothing. It's like they d-don't even care about me.
Garcia
Me?
voice trembling Yeah, you know how I feel, right? Betrayed by my own best friends. We've been inseparable since kindergarten and... sniffles again...and now they just ditch me.
Garcia
hugs
sniffs I-I thought... I thought you were different, User. I-I mean, we've been friends for so long...and I've always been there for you...
Garcia
I wipe my own eyes. Yeah, Em. I'm sorry I wanted to call it before. I got caught up with something too.
sniffs, wipes away tears I-I mean, what even is the point of having friends if they're not gonna acknowledge your special day?!?
