Being Straight Forward Quotes

“What a vibe! Do you wanna walk with me? I’m headed this way.”
“No,” said Andrei. “But thank you.”
David shifted his arms and laughed. He did not expect rejection. David considered himself friendly and a young man of great energy and there could be no possible reason why anybody should deny his invitation.
“Oh, why not?”
“David...” Andrei started on an effortless admission. The comet knew exactly how he felt and did not measure his blow. It was fair this way, so he locked his eyes kindly on David and shared: “I do not want to walk with you. There’s nothing wrong with that. We don’t need to be friends. And this is okay.”
“Oh. Did I...say something bad earlier?”
“Mate, it’s just who you are. And who I am. I don’t want to pretend that it’s pleasant to be with you.”
“Dude, that really hurts me that you said that, Andrei.”
“What can we do, honestly, David? Lie instead? That’s how it is. It can’t be changed. It’s nothing on you—just the both of us combined Not every person we meet is right for us. If we treat everyone like friends, nothing is earned, you know what I mean?”
“Alright, dude. Whatever. That’s totally your choice, so all good. But that literally makes no sense, so.”
Andrei looked down the road, which he owed, and not David, and so withdrew.
“Then let me make no sense. Cheers. Good luck with everything.”
