"That's what happened?"
"Yes."
"And your friend doesn't trust you anymore?"
A blink.
"Yes."
"Why did you lie?"
Another blink.
"I wanted to be liked."
"Liked?"
"Yes."
"Did your friend not like you before.?"
A swallow.
"I don't know, I was never told."
"Really?"
"Yes."
A pause.
"Well, I think you're okay."
A questioning look.
"I'm okay?"
"Yes."
"How do you know?"
"You seem like it."
"I don't feel like it."
A pause.
"And that's okay."
Another pause.
"It is?"
"Yes."
"Huh,"
"So?"
"I don't know."
A smile.
"I think you'll be okay."
