heroes to a guy who just had to

constantly fight his heroes.

And like,

everything that they would do

I would challenge, right?

And I'm not a

very combative person, like,

sort of, like depending on the situation

where I need to be I can like step up.

I think what you're recognizing

is that

this friendship

was getting a little...

Toxic, and...

You know, it's not really a

two-way street in terms of like,

you know, the way

that she's relying on you, and

you know, what you get in return...

I just...

Excuse me, do you have the time?

Sorry, my phone just died.

Yeah.

Nine thirty.

Thanks.

Anyway, so I think I need

to just, sort of,

put a little distance.

- I don't know.

- I'm gonna get a drink.

- Do you want anything?

- No.

I'm fine. Thank you.

You took my seat.

Oh, um...

- I'm sorry.

- No, don't, I'm kidding.

Well, you did. But don't get up.

- You might tear it.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Sure.

So, who do you know here?

I'm a stranger here myself.

I, uh...

I'm here with him.

- This one?

- Yeah.

He know someone here.

Sure.

That mustache guy.

Yeah.

And so now, I'm like sort of,

thinking like,

what could I possibly do next.

And I haven't

figured it out yet, but I'm

that I'll figure out something.

- Hey.

- Hey.

So thanks for inviting me.

Yeah, I'm glad you could come.

Listen, I...

I have something

I want to show you.

Can you take me

into another room?

Definitely.

- I'll think of it.

- Okay.

Just watch your head, okay?

Okay, thanks.

Well, my friend

just went up with him, so...

Um... she likes him.

- She likes who?

- She likes that.

Looks like I'm stuck with you.

Oh, sorry.

- Any word?

- No.

Feel like, maybe we should go

after this drink.

Really?

Yeah, I just had sort of a long

day, and I either need to...

Go home now,

or get totally hammered.

It's so early.

I know, but I'm just...

I can feel... oh, wow.

Look who's phone

magically came back to life.

Why would you, like...

Tell someone

your phone died and...

I just want to stay. Can we stay,

like, a little bit longer, please?

- Just getting to know some people.

- Okay.

All right. Great. Yeah, let's stay at the

weird party we're having a good time, so...

I am, yeah.

Hey, I'm really sorry,

I have to go.

I'd love to hang out sometime,

can I get your number?

Thanks.

Bye.

He thought I had coke

or weed or something.

He didn't want to make out

with me.

I hate boys.

I know.

They're terrible.

Hey...

Cheer up. All right?

Look...

Who cares?

I mean, he's an a**hole, right?

Yeah, he is.

You're not, though.

I know that, deep down.

Even though you think you are.
