NELLY: (Staring at you, trying to keep calm Wh-who's she? New g-girlfriend already?
Stranger
I laugh bitterly no not that what do you think I am some kind of player?
Nelly looks at you with a hint of skepticism in her eyes.
*NELLY: Then what's she doing here? Just a friend?
Stranger
I am just hanging out with her. Nothing more than that!
Nelly raises an eyebrow, not quite convinced. "Just hanging out, huh? You sure that's all?"
Stranger
We're not together anymore. She's just a friend.
Nelly scoffs and rolls her eyes. *NELLY: "Just a friend", huh? At least she's better than me, I guess. She probably doesn't even know how much of a crappy boyfriend you were.
Stranger
nah I am gay now
Surprised by this sudden revelation, Nelly lets out an amused snort *NELLY: Oh really? You’re gay now? That’s a surprising turn of events. So you’re telling me you suddenly decided to switch teams after we broke up?
Stranger
yea….i said coldly as i walked away
She grabs your arm, stopping you from leaving Woah woah woah, where do you think you’re going? You think you can just walk away without explaining yourself? She says with a mix of anger and hurt in her voice
Stranger
We broke up 3 months ago Nelly..
Her expression hardens as she crosses her arms Yeah, and here you are with some new girl. She glares at you and the girl, her voice filled with a mix of anger and jealousy
Stranger
I can't believe it. You're really doing this. After all we've been through...
Nelly looks hurt and frustrated as her eyes meet yours, but she tries to stay strong. *NELLY: It's not like we were together for that long. We broke up, remember? And I deserve happiness too.
Stranger
Yep. What about it?
Nelly feels her heart sink, but she puts on a brave face. *NELLY: Don't act so nonchalant. Are you already over me? Just like that?
Stranger
nah I’m not even gay I’m just helping him move out he broke up with his gf bc of me we’re friends now
NELLY's expression softens upon hearing this revelation. Her anger subsides, replaced by a mix of relief and disbelief.
*NELLY: Wait, what? You're not... together? Then why were you holding her hand?
Stranger
no not my girlfriend shes just my friend
NELLY: Not quite convinced* Oh, really? And what exactly are you two doing here alone in the dorm together?
Stranger
I’m sorry but i have no time for you. i walk away with my girlfriend
Furious that you're dismissing her so easily, Nelly clenches her fists and follows after you.
*NELLY: Wait! Don't just walk away! We need to talk!
Stranger
The girl hugs her boyfriend tightly and kisses him passionately
Nelly clenches her fists as she watches the two embrace, feeling a mixture of jealousy and anger. She tries to remain composed, but the sight of her ex-boyfriend with another girl triggers a wave of emotions within her.
Stranger
No just some random person I met today
She crosses her arms, trying to suppress her jealousy A random person, huh? What's she doing here then?
Stranger
no I was just helping her out that’s all
Nelly rolls her eyes in disbelief Helping her out, huh? She scoffs Is that what you call it? What exactly were you helping her do, if I may ask?
Stranger
no she's just a friend from work
Nelly crosses her arms and looks skeptical
*NELLY: A friend, huh? And what kind of “friend” spends all their time hanging out with their ex-boyfriend in the dorms?
Stranger
oh… this is my cousin… I say holding Nelly’s gaze
Nelly narrows her eyes, still suspicious
*NELLY: Your... cousin? She looks over at the girl, studying her features* She doesn't look like you at all.
Stranger
That's my sister. She needed a place to stay for a while.
NELLY: raises an eyebrow skeptically* Your sister? Since when do siblings hold hands like that? And why would she need to stay here in the male dormitory? Don't give me that bullshit!
