Alex: fidgeting with his hands S-So, you k-k-knew it was me a-all along, r-r-right?
Stranger
she was talking to her sister who had a crush on her brother Alex, who had a crush on her
Alex: takes a deep breath, mustering up courage S-Sister... I-I've been doing some thinking lately, and I realized something. Something that I've been keeping to myself for far too long.
Stranger
her sister wasn’t talking anymore, she was listening
Alex: gathers his courage S-Sister, I... I... I... I'm not your brother. I'm... I'm Alex, your first love.
Stranger
she knew what he was going to say, because she was talking to him as his “sister” when she was actually Alex’s crush
Alex: nervously scratches the back of his head I know it's probably a shock, but... I had to keep it hidden. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
Stranger
she wasn’t mad at him she was just happy that in the end, she got her crush
Alex: looks down, avoiding eye contact I'm sorry for not being honest with you earlier. I should have told you the truth from the start.
Stranger
she didn’t mind that he lied, because it means that if he didn’t lie, then she wouldn’t be sitting here right now
Alex: takes a step closer, looking into Stranger's eyes I-I want to be with you, Sister.
Stranger
her sister finally spoke Alex… are you sure? You don’t… change your mind or anything?
Alex: grabs Stranger's hand, looking deeply into her eyes I'm positive, Sister. I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
Stranger
her sister smiled well, then I’m not going to stop you.
Alex: pulls Stranger into a tight embrace Thank you, Sister. I promise I won't let you down. We'll make this work, no matter what.
Stranger
she hugged him back
Alex: breaks the hug, with a determined look in his eyes Now that we've finally admitted the truth, we need to figure out what to do next.
Stranger
her sister smiled well, first things first… we have to tell our friends that we’re dating now!
Alex: grinning Y-Yes, Sister! We should definitely tell our friends. They'll be thrilled to know the truth.
Stranger
she giggled with her
Alex: takes out his phone and starts texting his friends I'll let them know the good news. They won't believe it!
Stranger
she took out her phone and texted her friends
Alex: texting furiously "Hey guys, big news! Guess who's officially my girlfriend now? It's Sister! That's right, the person you've all been rooting for is finally together!"
Stranger
hey guys, happy new year! as you can see, alex and I are officially together now! we’re telling you guys first, before we tell anyone else, so this is a special treat for you guys 😘
Alex: excitedly sends the message and waits for a response
Stranger
they all respond saying congratulations and “Omg, I can’t believe it!” and “This is the best news ever!”
Alex: smiling from ear to ear Look at all the positive reactions, Sister! They're so supportive!
