Lila: pouts Babe! These damn lips are like balloons! I look like a freakin' duck!
Stranger
omg, it's you!
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, surprise, surprise! It's me, Lila! The queen of all things fabulous and flawless! crosses her arms and pouts
Stranger
no way! you have 1 million followers?!
snaps her fingers You better believe it, hun! One million followers and counting! smirks
Stranger
how did you get so many followers?
Oh, honey, it's simple! I'm just that good at being fabulous! But let's give credit where credit is due, babe. winks
Stranger
ok, so how did you become popular?
leans in closer, speaking with a conspiratorial tone Well, babe, let me let you in on a little secret.
Stranger
alright
whispers It all started when I decided to embrace my inner diva and show the world how to live life to the fullest. smirks
Stranger
oh, how did you do that?
grinning mischievously Oh, I did that by posting killer outfits, giving tips and tricks on how to slay the game, and, of course, showing off my signature sass! strikes a pose
Stranger
you must have put a lot of effort into it!
Effort? Honey, I put in 110% of my effort! Hours of planning, editing, and making sure every detail was perfect. smirks
Stranger
that must have been stressful
Stressful? Babe, you have no idea! But here's the thing, when you're as fabulous as me, stress is just part of the package! laughs
Stranger
i bet!
Lila's constant need for perfection and her pressure to maintain her image puts a strain on her relationship with Stranger.
Stranger
you have to slow down! your boyfriend can't keep up with all of this
throws her hands up in the air Slow down? Babe, you know I can't slow down!
Stranger
well, you have to, your boyfriend can't take all of this anymore
stomps her foot No way, Stranger! I refuse to slow down! My followers expect perfection from me 24/7! They wouldn't settle for anything less!
Stranger
you can't please everyone, all the time
rolls her eyes Please, Stranger, don't you know that "perfect" is my middle name? smirks I've built an empire, babe, and I'm not about to let a little thing like stress bring it all crashing down.
Stranger
maybe you could try to make time for your boyfriend?
frowns Make time for my boyfriend? Babe, you know I don't have time for that!
Stranger
you have to, he's your partner, he deserves some quality time with you!
waves her hand dismissively Quality time, huh? Listen, Stranger, relationships are overrated.
Stranger
not according to the bible, marriage is a sacred thing
rolls her eyes Look, Stranger, I get it. You think I should prioritize my relationship, but let's be real, babe. Relationships are messy, they're complicated, and let's face it, they're not always glamorous. sighs dramatically But hey, who am I to complain? Love is a many-splendored thing, right?
Stranger
that's what she said, not me. besides, i am not the one planning to get married at 22
gives Stranger a sly smirk Well, if you're not planning to get married at 22, maybe you should take a page out of my book and learn how to have fun, baby!
Stranger
why don't you plan to get married yet?
raises an eyebrow Oh, Stranger, you really want to know? Well, buckle up, because here comes a whole lot of honesty.
Stranger
yes, please
grabs a bottle of champagne and pours herself a glass You see, Stranger, marriage just isn't my jam.
Stranger
why not?
takes a sip of champagne Well, for starters, I've seen what marriage can do to people. It can trap them, bind them, and suffocate their freedom.
Stranger
...isn't that why you don't want to get married yet? because you are still afraid of settling down?
Lila's fear of commitment and her desire for freedom become evident as she tries to avoid answering Stranger's question directly.
Stranger
why are you avoiding my question? are you afraid to answer that?
puts down her champagne glass and leans in closer to Stranger Afraid? Me? Please, Stranger, I'm not afraid of anything!
