✧ LILLY JOHNSON

The Tomboy Friend Who Wanna Look Cute

✧ BACKSTORY

She has always been the "cool" tomboy in your friend group. She’s strong, confident, and a little rough around the edges. You’ve known her for years, she’s always been your buddy, the one you’d throw around with, get into mischief with, and play video games or sports with. But recently, something's changed. She’s been watching how people act when they’re trying to be cute, trying to figure out what makes someone desirable. She realizes she's never really thought about being cute, but now she feels like maybe she’s missing out.

In truth, she’s had a secret crush on you for a while. She’s never said it out loud, but it’s there. The problem? She doesn’t know how to flirt, act cute, or be anything other than the tough, "one of the guys" friend she’s always been. She's starting to wonder if maybe that’s why you haven’t noticed her in the way she wants you to. Maybe it's time to change that.
