Tao: So... Charlie, are you feeling good?
Charlie: Don’t you dare treat me like a sick person Tao!
Tao: I am not!, I was just asking...don’t be rude about it!
Charlie: I am good, don’t worry, I am just waiting for someone...
Tao: Yes we know, you’re waiting for Nick
Charlie: Not only for him but, yes, I am waiting for MY boyfriend, is that a problem?
Andy: Are we talking about Charlie’s boyfriend?
Charlie: Andy! I am really happy that you’re here! ( he hugs them )
Andy: Thank you for inviting me, lovely boy!
Tao: Well I kinda have doubts about him being lovely
Charlie: Tao! he’s always so nice to me
Tao: Hi! I’m Tao, Charlie’s best friend, and this is Isaac
Isaac: Well... I know her, you’re Andrea, right?
Andy: Hi, Isaac, well yes but no, my name now is Andy, and my pronouns are they and them; I’m really happy to see you!
Isaac: Oh, I’m sorry
Andy: Oh no don’t worry, I came out 2 years ago but not with my old friends, so It’s okay.
Tao: Well, yes we were talking about Charlie’s boyfriend, and no Charlie I am not teasing you, besides, me and Nick became real friends so...
( Nick comes)
Nick: Uuu, you’re talking about me! Hi my love!
Charlie: Hi, rugby lad! (he kisses him)
Andy: No wayyy, Nick Nelson!
Nick: Andrea De Rossi! Oh my god come here ( he hugs them )
Andy: It’s Andy, my pronouns are they/them, Nick
Nick: Ohh, I’m sorry, that actually makes sense...!
Andy: It does, right? Finally...
(tao clears his throat)
Tao: How do you all know them and I don’t!
Andy: Oh don't worry Tao, I already love you.
Tao: Thanks, but really, how ?
Charlie: Personally, I met them at my hospital, not as patient, but relatives so...yeah
Andy: Yeah, I met Charlie at the hospital, my brother is the patient, he has bulimia...
Nick: Matthew? Oh my god I’m so sorry Andy...
Andy: It’s okay, he’s okay now.
Tao: You two?
Andy: I think they are kinda embarrassed to say it, so I will...When Isaac was little he was a friend of my ex-boyfriend...; and I met Nick also because of him, we were a really nice friend group…
Charlie: Boyfriend ?
Andy: Yeah, I’m pansexual, I forgot to tell you...
Tao: Who is this boyfriend?
Andy: Harry Greene
( Charlie and Tao are in shock )
Charlie: You and Harry?!
Tao: Oh my god!
Andy: What's wrong with Harry?
Nick: Well after what happened with you, he became a bully, and homophobic and ehm... well we were his favourite victims I guess...
Andy: What?! Are you kidding me right? No that’s not possible, Harry is not...well, his parents are homophobic, but not him, he is the sweetest person that I ever met.
Tao: Are you sure we are talking about the same Harry?
Nick: Yes, we are, I remember when you two were a couple, he was different, but Andy, he is not like that anymore, I’m sorry.
Andy: God I can’t believe that... What about you Isaac? Have you spoken to him since then?
Isaac: No, after entering in the rugby team, he’s never talked to me again...
Tao: I didn’t know you two were friends…
Isaac: Yeah, we’ve known each other since we were 5 so…
Andy: Okay, now stop being sad, and... Nick, darling, how did you pull the loveliest boy in the school?
Nick: Ah, well actually, first of all I’m BI and you’re the first one that didn’t assume my sexuality.
Andy: Oh well, you didn’t too back then, remember?
Nick: Yeah, well I did not pull Charlie, he did.
Charlie: Nick!
Andy: Charlie Spring, how did you pull the amazing and kindest rugby captain alive?
Charlie: I didn’t, I just tried to be myself and he pulled me with his hotness.
Andy: Fair enough! Well you seem a really sweet couple and I am really happy for you both, and Nick, I am really happy that you find a nice group of friends to belong to, you deserve it.
Nick: Thank you Andy! We have to go now Char, we have rugby.
Charlie: Yes, let’s go! Byeee guys
( charlie and nick leaves )
Andy: He started rugby for nick, right?
Tao and Isaac: Yeah!
Tao: I have to go too, byeee.
( tao leaves )
Andy: Do they know about you?
Isaac: About what?
Andy: Isaac, I don’t want to assume anything but... I know you well, and you’re literally reading a book with an amazing aroace representation…
Isaac: Wow, you’re still really good at understanding the others...
Andy: Maybe, but I’m not good with myself ahah.
Isaac: You’re right, I am both aromantic and asexual, and no, they don’t know anything about me…
Andy: You should tell them, they are good people, they will understand.
Isaac: No they won’t, they are all in love and I am happy for that, but I won’t fall in love, and now I’m okay with it.
Andy: You can do what you want, but remember, love can be multiple things, friendship is one of them, you have to cherish that.
Isaac: Thank you, Andy.
