"When they were young, they used to play together. Odessa was such a tomboy with short hair and all. Lewis really thought she was a boy. They were like brothers. When they started attending school, he found out that Odessa was actually a girl."
"So their relationship turned sour?"
"No. They became the best buddies. Lewis did not mind that Odessa was a girl, and they continued to be best of friends. Other guys their age began to tease Lewis that he looked like a girl because Odessa looked more masculine than him. He began to drift away from Odessa, but he was not satisfied with his new male friends."
"Did Odessa cling to him?"
"Of course not! Look at Lewis, would you cling to him if you were Odessa?"
"Yeah, I got your point," Zenia agreed while looking at Lewis from head to foot, "Although he doesn't look bad."
