Perform (Dance): 28, a memorable performance.This evening, you're partying with your old friend Mariana. Since she’s the host, you’ve brought a bottle of mezcal, a strong alcohol made from agave that you’ve learned to enjoy. Naturally, Bananas, your loyal companion, is tagging along.
"So, how are things going with the boys?" Mariana asks.
"Not so well. All my online friends think I’m a guy, so none of them have ever tried to flirt with me."
She giggles. "Maybe you should tell them your gender one day. It’s impossible to keep a secret forever, you know. Tinder dates are fun, but one day you should find your Mr. Right. Someone who’s into writing and other nerdy stuff like you."
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, let’s have a drink."

Mariana puts on "Ojitos Chiquititos" by Yeri Mua, a popular twerking song from her home country, Mexico. Both of you have immigrant backgrounds and have bonded over your progressive values, enjoying the exchange of cultural elements from India and Mexico. You lose yourself in the rhythm, hips undulating and feet moving with fluid grace, executing spins and moves that leave Mariana in awe. Your friend claps and cheers, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Wow, you’re so amazing! You should perform more often!"
Canada is usually cold, but this week, the province of Manitoba, where you live, reached a sweltering 31°C. "Let’s get comfortable and strip down a bit," your friend suggests with a playful grin.
"Okay, but don’t laugh. I’ve been trying out a tomboy style lately, so I’ve bandaged my chest."
You strip down to your underwear, revealing smooth, tight-fitting rainbow dragon trunks from
TomboyX.com that accentuate your figure, giving you a noticeable cameltoe. "Don’t worry. You look fine, girl."
Mariana, on the other hand, is wearing white low-rise thongs, with her black bush visible through the lace at the top. She looks effortlessly stunning, and you feel a bit jealous. <span class="mu-i">No, she’s my friend</span>, you remind yourself, <span class="mu-i">I shouldn’t feel jealous</span>.
While you’re both dancing, Mariana notices Bananas spying on you from behind the half-open door. "That’s weird. Is it normal for a monkey to spy on people? He looks like a little peeping tom."
"Yeah, don’t worry about it. He always does that."
