I keep imagining how I would address this were I a character on The Hills:

JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
LC: Hey.
JESSICA: Hey.
LC: So....
JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
LC: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
JESSICA: How do you feel about that thing that happened with that person?
LC: [tears begin to fall. Her mascara runs...beautifully] I just want us to be friends!
JESSICA: I know. It's so hard. What are you going to do?
LC: I don't know.
JESSICA: Your hair looks depressed.
LC: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
JESSICA: And your skirt is uncharacteristically short. Are you okay?
LC: No! I'm really upset, Jessica! I have relationship problems! Are you NEW?
JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare].
AND SCENE.
JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
LC: Hey.
JESSICA: Hey.
LC: So....
JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
LC: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
JESSICA: How do you feel about that thing that happened with that person?
LC: [tears begin to fall. Her mascara runs...beautifully] I just want us to be friends!
JESSICA: I know. It's so hard. What are you going to do?
LC: I don't know.
JESSICA: Your hair looks depressed.
LC: [long, blank, unblinking stare]
JESSICA: And your skirt is uncharacteristically short. Are you okay?
LC: No! I'm really upset, Jessica! I have relationship problems! Are you NEW?
JESSICA: [long, blank, unblinking stare].
AND SCENE.
