as a winter beast but

Just like a child

a juvenile

My ego smile

I look the other way

And you can say

Anything you want

to me

Tell me any way

you choose..

Is it just me

or does he literally move

in slow motion?

It's not the truth

No I couldn't

take that from you

How could

I take that?

So say

Anything

you want to me

Anything

but the truth

I didn't mean to startle you.

I certainly did not mean

to make that sound.

You're funny.

You're Flip.

Well, I just wanted,

uh, to say hi.

Just introduce myself.

Hey, girl.

Hi.

Is that "Dorian Gray?"

Well, that's crazy, man.

We're reading'

the same book.

I wasn't gonna be

the one to tell him

the entire senior class

was reading it

this semester.

Uh, well, um..

You know, I just..

I'll see you around?

And don't pay attention

to those a**holes

in Biology.

I think you're okay.

What are you doing over here?

Just wanted to see

how you're acclimating

to the new school.

I'm not a ficus plant, Father.

I don't acclimate.

You know, I remember

how you liked that

Thai restaurant back in Darien.

There's a great place

in town that we can...

I'm really sorry,

I'm in the middle

of something really important.

Oh, Muv,

I miss you terribly.

You haven't answered

any of my messages.

I know I'm only

supposed to be here

for the semester,

and I'm trying to fit in.

But I don't know how much

of me they can take.

Come and get me.

Love, your withering Bloom.

Billy.

Alright, class, listen up.

Now, your oral book reports

will be due October 18th.

Girls? Girls.

Break it up.

I've given you

a choice of topics.

"Zelda Fitzgerald,"

"The Teapot Dome Scandal"

and "The Picture

Of Dorian Gray."

Now, there's plenty of time

between now and October 18th.

Don't let me down.

Have a great rest of your day.

Class dismissed.

The ladies who lynch.

- Hi!

- Hey.

It's Billy, right?

Yes, it is indeed.

Well, we just wanted

to come on over

and say "Hey."

- Hey.

- Hey.

We all might've gotten off

on kind of the wrong foot

seein' as you are,

you know, the new queer.

I mean, um,

I mean... I mean, kid

on the block and all.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Just, we're not really

used to people like you

around here.

- You mean amazing people?

- No.

I mean, like, boys

who dress like...

- Fashion icons?

- No, she means...

Legends of the runway?

Girls. She means boys

who dress like girls.

Anyway, don't mind her.

We were actually just

wondering if, you know

you'd like to help us

with our style

seein' as you've got it

all goin' on.

Absolutely, it'd be my pleasure.

How about we start right now?

Okay, Sesame.

Ditch the sweatpants.

Like Lagerfeld said

"It's the ultimate
