[F4A] Making Your Best Friend Jealous

Transcript

Hey, um, did you get the notes for the varying types of psychosis? Of course you didn't. You know that's gonna be on the exam, right? Don't worry, don't worry, I got your back.

I can share my notes with you, even my little diagrams. You know how I like to note take. Yes, yes, I know, I know.

What would you do without me, blah, blah, blah. You don't have to give me the whole, I'm so desperately in love with you speech, every time I help you out, you know? Okay, okay, I appreciate that you appreciate me.

Now, you up for lunch? I was thinking of trying out that new Mexican, huh? Sorry, rewind please.

What party? Oh, you mean the one you've been asking, or should I say pestering me to go to with you? Right, right, that one.

Hmm, I'm just confused about the part where I said yes, because last I recall, I very clearly said no. Well, you told your friends I was coming? Why? Why would you do that to me? Look, I'm sure your friends are lovely, but just picture this.

Wait, so do you want Mexican for lunch, or? Okay, okay, let's tether then. Back to what I was saying, picture this, me, your very introverted, very boarding on antisocial best friend at a party with very extroverted, very social people all night long.

Are you seeing the picture I'm painting here? Yeah, yeah, okay. Now, take that picture and frame it in the forefront of your mind, because I want you to remember how awful of an idea this is.

Yes, yes, I appreciate that you want me to tag along, but no thank you. Stop asking, I'm not going. There's gonna be food, you say? Well, if that's the case, okay, okay, I'll go.

Stop hugging me, you oof. Let me finish. I'll go, but on one condition.

Are you listening? Because it's very important. Okay, I'll go if we have a movie night together, but the catch is, you can't complain about anything that I choose.

Oh, shush. You know you secretly love me and everything that I do. Hey, don't get so quiet on me now.

It's okay, I'll stop exposing your undying love for me. Oh, and by the way, lunch is on you. No, no, this is part of my one condition.

Shhh, shhh, just accept your fate. Stop making fun of me and my gloves. It's not funny.

You're not funny. You know what? When your hands are freezing and you eventually get hypothermia, I'll be in the corner laughing because guess who's warm?

Me. That too. Now, if you could stop bullying me, please.

How long are we supposed to be there? I'm sorry, what? That long? The end of times have come.

It was nice knowing you, I guess. Okay, the actor's over. I know, I know, wonderful actress right here.

How about ten minutes? Don't look at me like that. Uh, then thirty? I am being reasonable, but fine, fine, an hour max.

An hour and a half? Give it your way then, you monster. But that's all.

Not a minute over or I'll denounce you as my very annoying best friend. Yeah, yeah, you're right. I do love you.

Oh, we're here. I guess it's time to drain my social battery. It's kind of loud in here.

I know it's a part of you, smart aleck, but still. What's that? Sorry, what? I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

We can leave now? Awesome. Best news I've heard all week.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Stop side-eyeing me.

How rude of you to treat your bestest friend like this. So we're meeting your friends, right? Okay, cool, cool, cool.

You know, I'm still shocked anyone else can deal with you and your antics. I would've given up a long time ago. You're right, you're right.

I am still here. Why? Um, well, um, you know, you know.

Ah, I see. You don't know. Well, I guess I'll tell you then.

Um, I love you a lot. Yeah, actually, um, I've been wanting to talk to you about something. I was thinking- What? Your friends are coming? Oh, no, it's nothing important.

Don't worry about it. Oh, um, hi, I'm Alicia. Yeah, yeah, the one this one dragged here.

Oh, really now? They told you all about me? Aw, aren't you just the cutest? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've known each other for some years, unfortunately.

Yeah, very unfortunate. You know, but they begged me to stay around and so I felt kind of sorry for them. Yeah, it's only out of pity.

Oh, that's what you guys are majoring in? That's very cool. Yeah, engineering is awesome.

Yeah, STEM. STEM, I'm very interested in that, but not for me. Yeah.

Um, yeah, I'm, um, film studies. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, for, um, screenwriting, actually. Yep, yep, that's it. Mm-hmm.

Oh. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I mean, sure, we'll, um, have to set something up then.

You know. So, okay, I heard a little secret. Yeah, yeah, I heard there was food here.

Mm-hmm, there is. Okay, um, where is the food? It's over there.

Okay, well, if you'll excuse me, that's where I'll be. Ugh, what was I thinking trying to tell them that? You know what, I'm just gonna eat this food and just wallow in self-pity.

You know, I should just, like, who are they laughing with? They seem really close. Oh, wait, both of them are coming over.

Okay, calm, calm, calm, I'm calm. Hi. Me? Uh, nothing, nothing, nothing's wrong with me.

I'm good, very good, great, in fact. I should seriously stop talking. But, um, who is this? You two seem, uh, pretty close.

Uh, okay, I see. Um, well, it's nice to meet you then, Mei. Uh, how'd you two meet? I've never seen you around, and I'm with this one most of the time.

Yeah, yeah, I am their best friend after all. Oh, oh, you guys been hanging out recently. Is that so? Huh? You don't have to go to the bathroom? Um, no, no, go ahead, I'll be here.

Right, like Mei said, we've got some, uh, catching up to do. So, it's just the two of us then, Mei. What? How long have we known each other? A long time.

Yeah, um, since elementary school. Yeah, yeah, I was new to town, and they'd take me under their wing, and, well, here we are. Yeah, yeah, they do have that effect on people.

I mean, that's why I like them so much. Oh, you like them too? Well, of course.

You wouldn't be friends with them otherwise, would you? Oh, you don't mean us friends? Well then, uh, and that's why you wanted them to come to the party? So you could confess? Huh.

Wow. Nothing, nothing, I just wasn't expecting that. And you, um, you wanted to meet me, because I'm the best friend.

Right. Um. Well, uh, I appreciate that, but I can't really speak for them.

Yeah, I can't help you out with that, sorry. You seem, um, like a really sweet girl, Mei. And if they like you, then, um, you know, actually, I'm not feeling so great.

Yeah, yeah, so, um, if you could just, if you could just let them know I'm leaving for Mei, um. Yeah, yeah, it was nice meeting you too, Mei. I'm so stupid.

Why would they like me anyway? I'm just their best friend. Friend.

That's all we'll ever be. Oh, um, hey. Mei talked to you.

Yeah, yeah, I'm not, I'm not feeling so hot, so I'm just gonna head home. I'm always hot. Yeah, yeah, thanks for that, but I think it was a cheese dip.

You know me, lactose intolerant and all. No, no, don't, don't worry about me. I'm fine.

I'm just gonna head home. Seriously, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong.

Why do you insist that something's wrong? It's nothing. Seriously.

It doesn't seem like it. Well, it is, so just leave it alone, please. You should go back to the party.

Your friends are waiting for you. Mei is waiting for you. Mei is waiting for you.

What? I didn't say her name like anything. Why are you trying to find something wrong? You do know that it's possible for things to be okay, don't you? Hey, look, look at me.

I'm fine. It's fine. Everything's fine.

I just want to go home. Please, just leave it alone. For me.

Oh my gosh, my goodness. You just won't let it go, will you? Fine, fine.

You really want to know? Okay, I'll tell you. I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with you and I have been for so long. And I've been holding it back. I've been holding it in for years.

Years. Because you're my best friend. You get me in ways that no one has before.

And I can see how much you care about me and our friendship. And I appreciate that so much. But you don't belong to me.

So I've always cheered you on when you're interested in someone. And when you started dating. Because I want you to be happy.

I want you to be so happy. Call me the most selfish girl alive. But I only want you to be happy with me.

I want you to be mine. I want you to pick me. To choose me.

To love me. Because I picked you. I chose you.

And I love you so darn much. But Mae, Mae, she likes you. Yeah, yeah, it was pretty obvious how she stared at you.

Because, well, I've looked at you like that too. Like you lit up all the stars in the freaking sky. And for me, you have.

You lit up the stars and you hung the freaking moon. And you're the sun because you brighten up all of my dark days. But you don't feel this way for me.

And that's okay. Because whether you choose Mae or someone else. I'll be happy for you.

Because you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have love in your life. And even though I wouldn't be the person that gives you that love.

I'll be happy if it's not me. So, how do you know the vaccine?
