do you know what sucks?

me
what?

gemma clark
when you only have like two friends and they're all busy

me
is this some sort of backhanded way of asking me to hang out with you? because you know, you could just ask me to hang out with you

gemma clark
ok. wanna hang out?

me
depends. what's on the agenda?

gemma clark
i don't know. you can choose

me
i chose last time. it's your turn

gemma clark
ugh

me
deal with it

gemma clark
there's this murder mystery documentary that's on netflix that i've wanted to watch for months and months, but jake hates them and  he thinks they're boring, so i've never gotten around to watching it...

gemma clark
i know that that is the lamest thing in the whole world, but that's who i am

gemma clark
take it or leave it man

me
hmm you don't strike me as a murder mystery type of girl

gemma clark
there's many things you don't know about me, shawn mendes

me
intriguing. i'll watch it with you, if that's what you're asking

gemma clark
that is what i'm asking. and you really will?

me
yeah why not?

me
i like a good murder mystery just as much as the next guy

gemma clark
you're literally the best

gemma clark
this is why we're friends

gemma clark
because you freaking rock at being my friend

me
you're very easy to please. i've never seen a person so thrilled over a documentary

gemma clark
well now you have

gemma clark
maybe come over at like 8?

me
ok. jake won't mind?

gemma clark
if he does i don't care. i'm allowed to hang out with people who aren't him

me
true. i guess i'll see you at like 8?

gemma clark
i guess you will

at like 8

I know that I'm stuck so deep in the friend zone, but sometimes I actually like just being her friend. The word friend makes me feel like I got punched in the stomach most of the time, but she's a good one to me, and I'd like to think I'm a pretty good one to her. It's nice to have a friend who just likes hanging out at home and talking, as opposed to going out and drinking. I finally feel like she genuinely likes me, and thinks I'm genuinely funny, and genuinely enjoys my company. I feel like I can trust her, and she trusts me too.
