As Cool as I Am Page #3
I lost my parents at 16.
And there is my boyfriend, Ron.
And Chuck... I mean my husband.
And I had Lucy at seventeen.
I was pretty much a total mess.
You probably hear this all
the time but
you've made me see myself
in this whole other...
Shh...
It's so much loss at such a young age,
and we all heal at our own pace.
Is this something I'm gonna
need to lie about?
Lucy, what're you doing?
What am I doing? It's 5 a.m.!
Oh, I- I'm sorry, Lucy.
I should've called.
I fell asleep at my desk.
And where were you
calling, Uzbekistan?
I just came home to shower,
and change clothes
and then it's straight back to work to start
the whole thing all over again.
And that's the best you can do?
"I fell asleep at my desk?"
You know...
it's been a long night.
Yeah! It's been a long night here, too.
Nice clogs.
Nice transsexual
beauty queen costume.
- You know school's back today.
- I knew that.
I was just checking.
I didn't know how
much you'd forgotten
about your alleged family life.
Well, have a great day, honey... okay!
I'm gonna be back home early tonight.
Are you gonna need to be
congratulated for that?
All right, so just, um... remember,
no sexual energy. Okay?
I mean, if these people even sense that we're
going out, we'd be ripped to shreds.
Hey! We're going out?
I don't... I mean, I don't know...
I thought we might...
Why? Because of all the massive
spring break makeout sessions?
- Yeah, because of that!
- It was 100 percent platonic.
Just become invisible. Try to keep
your animal desires under wraps.
Oh... it'll be a tremendous struggle.
Stop...
I mean, we're just these trained poodles
jumping through hoops.
High school's not intended to
challenge our intellect,
it doesn't even prepare us
for anything real in life.
I mean what? After four years of
poodle-training we graduate,
and if we're really lucky
ours parents get to spend thousands
of dollars on four more years
- of higher poodle education...
- Hey... what's up, Lucy?
Hi...?
Where have you been?
I never see you out or anything.
There's a party after
the game on Friday.
I don't go to parties.
You should definitely
start going to parties.
I'll text you the address.
I'll see you there.
How can you go off
about poodle theory,
when you're Mister Straight-A 4.0?
How does Justin Havens
have your cell number?
I don't know.
I don't even know how
he knows my name.
I don't get a 4.0,
- I always get a B in something.
- Why?
- I got the power!
- That's very "gangsta" of you.
We're doomed.
You're too beautiful to be invisible anymore.
Please don't say that!
Beautiful people are
shallow and self-absorbed.
And come on... they never grow up.
