Queen of Earth Page #3

for that kind of nonsense.

I think I was made to be a member

of the modern aristocracy.

- What does that mean?

- Mm...

Because I have this great house.

It's your parents' house,

which they let you use, occasionally.

You didn't earn it, so don't act like

you're entitled to it.

- Why are you being so confrontational?

- I'm just being realistic.

I'm serious. I just want to have a nice time

and relax.

As opposed to what?

Relaxing every other day of your life?

I don't relax every day.

I'm sorry. You have one bad thing happen

to you, like, three months ago.

Don't pretend that this is some break

from a tedious and stressful existence.

OK, you know what?

Don't worry about me.

- I'm not.

- Don't think about me. Forget it. Please.

Cat, come on...

Oh, look who has something to say.

Now you want to get involved?

- We're tired.

- "We" are not tired. Don't say "we".

I'm not tired. Just because you're tired,

doesn't mean that I'm tired.

- That's the spirit.

- Well, I'm... pretty tired.

- So...

- Rich is tired.

Yeah, Rich is tired.

- I wanna go.

- Don't go, Rich.

Yeah, don't go, Rich.

- I should get going. I'll see you.

- It's great to meet you, Rich.

Nice to meet you too.

Nice to meet you, K. Take it easy.

I'm sorry about that. I thought

they were gonna be gone all night.

- That's fine. I'm interested.

- How so?

Uh... to meet her.

After hearing you talk about her.

Do you think I'm a horrible friend?

Ah... I don't know

that I can really answer that.

You're always very sweet to me.

Well, you ask so little of me.

Uh...

Sure you don't want to come in?

I should get back.

All right, well...

door's always open.

- Just leave them.

- I don't wanna leave them!

Why?

Because no one else

is gonna clean this up but me.

Will you leave me alone?

It was autumn, October,

and we would just take long walks and...

get takeout

and watch videos at my apartment.

I had that...

basement apartment, at the time, so once

you were inside, no light could get in.

So you could just... never even see

when the sun came up.

I loved that apartment.

But then, after...

a few...

six weeks, him and his girlfriend

started to get back together, and...

he just shut me out.

We had class together,

so we were polite, but...

you know, it was really shitty.

It really broke my heart,

'cause it felt like he didn't...

choose me, you know?

Um... so, then, a couple years go by,

maybe longer, maybe it was more like

two and a half, and...

All of a sudden, out of the blue,

I get this letter.

Like, an actual letter, written on paper.

With a pen...

and it was so sweet and...

It was sort of apologetic, but...
