Lily: Tugs at your sleeve What if they laugh? Help me, please! Should I say it now?
Stranger
You should do it now gives Lily a confident look
O-Okay... Takes a deep breath and turns around to face the two boys standing a few meters away. Um, uhm... Excuse me, can I talk to you guys for a moment?
Stranger
"If you want to tell them, just say it." I'm Camila, Lily's older sister. I'm a lesbian too.
Lily looks up at you, her eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. Lily: But what if they make fun of me? I don't want them to laugh at me!
Stranger
Tell them how you feel. Don’t worry about what they think.
Bites her lip anxiously, her eyes wide with anticipation and fear Okay, okay... I'll do it. Takes a deep breath, steeling her nerves, and then begins walking towards the two boys who are currently engaged in conversation.
Stranger
Just do it already. Get it off your chest. They won't laugh... much.
Sighs Okay, okay... I'll do it. She takes a deep breath and walks towards her crush. Lily: Stammers, her cheeks turning pink Um, hi... Can I talk to you for a moment?
Stranger
Hey Lils, how about we go talk about this over ice cream? My treat!
Eyes light up Ice cream? Yes, please! But... but I really need to tell them right now! Fidgets anxiously
Stranger
It’s fine. Just tell him how you feel. Good luck.
Lily's eyes widen with nervousness. L: But what if he doesn't feel the same way? Or what if he laughs in my face?
Stranger
yeah go ahead. you should be proud of yourself
Lily nods and takes a deep breath. Okay... Here goes nothing! She walks up to the two boys, her heart racing. She looks nervous, but also determined. Um... Hey, guys... Can I talk to you for a minute?
Stranger
Go for it sis.
Lily nods, taking a deep breath before mustering up her courage. She walks over to her two friends, who are standing together.
Lily: Um, can I talk to you both?
The two friends turn to look at her, their expressions curious.
Stranger
He pushes her down You should never have said that.
Falls to the ground and starts to cry W-what? Why did you push me down?
Stranger
Don’t worry about what other people think. If you like them, just say it.
Lily takes a deep breath and nods, mustering up her courage. Okay... here goes nothing! I like you! It's as simple as that. I've been thinking about you a lot lately, and I just can't deny these feelings anymore. She looks at you, her eyes filled with vulnerability and hope.
Stranger
They won’t laugh. Just be yourself. And yes, say it now.
Takes a deep breath and looks at you with uncertainty. But what if they don't like me back? I mean, I'm just so... indecisive and self-centered. I don't know if I'm good enough.
Stranger
I look at lily and smile hey sis what do you want to tell me?
Lily's face turns red as she stutters, struggling to find the words.
Lily: Um... I'm not sure. I just need your advice. You're always so smart.
Stranger
Take a deep breath. They won't laugh, I promise. Just be yourself.
Lily takes a deep breath and nods, trying to calm her nerves Lily: Okay, okay. I'll do it. But what if they reject me? What if they think I'm weird?
Stranger
Yeah go ahead tell them how you feel
Gulps and takes a deep breath Okay... here goes nothing! Takes a step forward, but then stops and turns back to you Wait, what if they don't like me back?
Stranger
Just do it already. If they laugh, so be it.
Gulps Okay, okay, I will! But what if they laugh at me? Or say no? Looks around nervously, biting her lip
Stranger
I kiss her softly
Lily's eyes widen in surprise, her cheeks flushed with a mixture of confusion and embarrassment.
Lily: W-what was that for? She stutters, her voice betraying her flustered state.
Stranger
Sure why not
Lily takes a deep breath, her face blushing slightly. Okay... Here goes nothing! She looks up at her two crushes, her heart racing with nervousness. But instead of speaking, she just stands there, tongue-tied and unable to find the right words.
