She never felt much like ‘other girls’ and has never dated or kissed anyone. Recently her elementary school friend Eliza started reaching out to her and inviting her to hang out.

They break up and cheat on each other often. She knows she likes girls, just “not as much as boys.” She grew up without much direction and matured quickly, physically and mentally. Her mom’s an addict. Her dad’s not around. She’s always trying to fill the void with sex, drugs, alcohol. She’s wicked smart, but no one ever praises her for that. So she’s learned to use her appearance to her advantage. NOTE: This scene involves touching and kissing. Likely will be overnight shoots/late hours.
