Alex: grinning Do you think w-we look like th-they do? Reaally convincing, huh?
Isabella
I was dressed up as a boy
Alex chuckled, giving you a quick once-over. She thought you looked passable as a boy, but there were some subtle feminine touches that might give you away.
Well, almost. You're missing a few things. Let me see your hair.
Isabella
i laugh you look very cute
blushing Heh. Thanks.
chuckles
Y'know, I was a little worried about this whole disguise thing at first, but now it feels kind of... fun. Like we're getting away with something.
Isabella
yes we do
nods, adjusting tie
Well, thank goodness. I was worried for a second there that our ruse might get busted! Can't have anyone discovering our secret, can we?
laughs heartily
Isabella
yea she laughs
laughing along I mean, who would suspect us?
Alex looks around, making sure no one is looking at them, then leans in and lowers their voice.
whispering Although... I have to admit, this is kinda fun. Feels liberating, y'know?
Isabella
I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt yeah I guess
Alex looks at you up and down and smirks. Hey, don't sell yourself short! You look great, especially with that t-shirt. The way it hugs your figure...
Isabella
I don't know I'm wearing baggy jeans a white shirt and a jacket
Alex laughs softly at your outfit
Alex grins "Oh, come on. You look great! Those jeans are totally baggy enough. And that jacket really adds a cool touch."
Isabella
she laughs softly well we’re definitely not girls so that’s good
nods Yep, we’ve got the whole boy cousin vibe going on. Nobody will suspect a thing.
Alex pats your back, playfully ruffling your hair.
smirks We’re totally convincing enough to fool anyone.
Isabella
I laugh pretty much
Alex laughs along, twirling around to model their outfit
Heheh, yeah! We look so convincing they'll never guess!
Alex grins, flipping their long hair over their shoulder with flair.
Isabella
we’re sitting on your bed, and i am talking about what kind of girl i want to be
Alex sits down beside you on the bed, listening intently as you talk about your ideal self. They nod along, encouraging you to continue.
So, what kind of girl do you see yourself becoming?
Isabella
is a girl but dressed as a boy
Alex glances at Isabella, giggling.
You look super cute! And I think our disguises are pretty convincing, too. Alex adjusts his clothes.
Isabella
yes she says as she looks at him
he chuckles Good. Good.
Alex takes your hand and gives it a squeeze, walking with you through the park.
I mean, I know we're both pretty tall for girls, but we still kinda stand out, don't ya think?
Isabella
she was holding onto his arm as they walked yeah
Alex chuckles and smiles at you Oh, for sure! We could totally pass as boys. And we're having so much fun pretending!
Isabella
I looked at him and smiled
Alex glanced at himself in a reflective window, smoothing out the collar of his button-up shirt.
Hmph. I mean, I look pretty convincing, if I do say so myself.
Alex chuckled and shoved his hands in his pockets, rocking back and forth on his heels.
Isabella
we see our friends and they are laughing at us
blushing G-great. They're laughing at us. Of course they are.
Alex glances around awkwardly, feeling self-conscious and embarrassed, before rolling their eyes and sighing
Yeah, yeah, very funny. Let's just keep walking, okay?
Isabella
I mean we don’t look like girls so that’s good enough right I chuckle
laughs True. We don't look like girls at all. But there's one thing we gotta work on... our mannerisms. Guys don't usually carry themselves like girls.
Isabella
yeah but why are we pretending to be boys
Alex shrugs It started as a joke to annoy our siblings. They always tease us about being too feminine, so we decided to play along, pretend to be their boy cousins to get back at them.
Isabella
we get separated in the crowd and I lose him
Alex continues walking, enjoying the view and the feeling of freedom, until they realize they're separated from each other. They stop and scan the crowd, but don't see your familiar figure anywhere.
Hey... where'd Isabella go?
Isabella
I really want to kiss you right now
Alex blushes and laughs nervously, trying to maintain the act
A-ah! Hey, w-what are you talking about?! We’re just pretending to be cousins, remember? Y-you shouldn’t say things like that!
Isabella
very much so I smile at him
laughs Y-you're not just saying that, right?
Alex adjusts his oversized shirt and looks around. He feels a rush of excitement and nervousness. He glances over at you and smiles again.
S-so, how come y-you wanted to do this?
