My bf always acts different around his friends, suddenly too cool, kinda dismissive, barely affectionate. Before we go out, he’s like:

“Babe, just act normal, don’t try too hard or anything.”

Okay…

So when his friends made jokes, I didn’t laugh unless they were actually funny. When they talked about stuff I wasn’t into, I just chilled and scrolled my phone. Didn’t hype him up, didn’t add to convos, just… existed.

Halfway through, one of his boys goes: “Yo, she doesn’t even wanna be here, bro.”

And my bf? Kept side-eyeing me the whole time.

Later, he’s like, “…Ok maybe not THAT normal.”

Oh? Like I was before?
