"What if she hadn't confessed? Would you have really..." started Samantha.
"Yes. If she failed to confess to each person she lied to about me, I would have ended our friendship. It's hard to describe just how much what she did hurt."
"But...all she did was tell Katie, I, and some other girls that you had her were together. How would that-"
"That's not all she did."
"What? Oh. Um, what else did she do?"
"How would you feel if you asked a guy out, and he rejected you like you were shit on the bottom of his shoe?"
"I could never...but...umm...wow, yeah, that would really hurt. I think I'd never try again after that."
"And how would you feel about yourself if you tried again, four times, each time being rejected like you were scum?"
"I think I'd hate myself, or at least wonder what was wrong with me to get rejected like that."
"And how would you feel if you learned someone had gone ahead of you and poisoned those guys against you before you had a chance to ask them out?"
