She was trying to break the news to me about my “boyfriend” cheating on me and asking her out.

Kat

How come you didn’t tell me you asked her out?

Because she said no…

And you tell my brother everything.

Kat

Not if you ask me not to!

Kat

Don’t you think it’d make sense to have told me something like that when I was trying to piece together why she didn’t seem to like you that first day?

How the hell was I supposed to know that was what you were thinking?

Kat

Well, you neverasked.

Go away.

Kat

Wait! There’s more!!!

Oh, good fucking lord. Make it quick.

Kat

I think she’s going to be breaking up with her boyfriend soon… He seems like a jerk, honestly.

Not my business. Talk later.

Kat

You’re a pain sometimes. When you’re ready to fangirl about it, let me know!

Never gonna happen, but okay.

I’m not even sure what that means.

Kat

*face palm emoji*

I’m absolutely convinced Aiyana stole your phone. You two have fun.

Now I just feel fucking twisted that I want this woman to break up with her boyfriend, but at least she reallydoeshave a boyfriend. She already told menothough. She isn’t interested, so their breakup wouldn’t help me any. Besides, I barely know her. Maybe she’s just a pretty face.

Même moi, je ne crois pas aux mensonges que je me raconte. Even I don’t believe the lies I’m telling myself.
