I'm okay, this is gonna be really really weird, and
I know you're going to get rid of off of it.
So I really didn't like you talking to her. No,
it's not for that reason. It's just she was really
plutty with you, and h are you really gonna tease
me because of this? Yeah, I'm a little jealous, I guess,
but never mind, it's really stupid. I kind of felt
this way for a while. I mean, you're really outgoing,
and you constantly are just very boisterous, I guess when
you're around people, and I am kind of not so
Whenever I tried to find a way to express this
to you, it just never really came out. Yeah, those
were the times I referred back to being really really shy.
If you like her, then, by all means, I don't
see why you should. Shouldn't you don't you didn't know
that she was swere with you. You're oblivious to some things, well,
not to my emotions. Yeah, you seem to know all
about those, which, how I don't know your emotional your
emotional understanding, I.

and I hope that doesn't make her a bench, weird
or anything. Wait, you don't want to be friends? Yeah? No,

you want. Yeah, I promise I won't be shy.
