i'm um here for an interview for uh a scholarship at columbia columbia i thought that you were at
the university of texas becoming a great writer a great writer uh i mean i don't i don't think so
well i am but aren't you at yale becoming a great artist graduated yale but i'm at columbia getting
my master's degree oh wow yeah art history that's great listen do you know anybody else in new york
uh just you just me okay well would you like to go to dinner
i absolutely okay okay great okay let me just let me drop off my packages at my apartment
you don't have blizzards like this
you know that you were my first crush when we were distance i only spent so much time around
your brother just to be around you well you were his first crush what yeah well i
had no idea cooper was gay you i don't think he knew back then but he was obsessed with you hmm
wow yeah if i hadn't caught you staring at me so much i would
have thought you were sleeping with him i i actually i feel terrible i haven't
called him in a few years i feel like i've been a bad friend i hope i didn't hurt him
you're good you know that no you are most guys would have freaked
out if they found out their best friend was in love with him you're very sweet
you should call him he would like that my parents have basically disowned him they're
not really talking anymore why why are you serious well you know my parents right they're
religious conservative sexist racist republican materialistic narcissistic
racist i could keep going i'm just wondering what what what you really think susan it's true i know
but they just see us as a reflection of themselves so they can't accept cooper for
who he is i'm not sure how i'm gonna fare aren't you being a little hard on them no
they have an antiquated idea of how i should live my life especially my mother
i understand i've always loved your mom really yeah she was great with me when my dad died
you both have the same kind of sadness in your eyes
what you and your mother that is a weird thing to say edward i'm sorry i didn't i
don't mean to offend you i just she just always seems sad to me she has sad eyes
i've thought that since i was a little boy you have the same eyes
there
beautiful
just don't sound like my mom okay and i want to be like her
funny because i always envied your family i felt like such an imposter at school you did i
i thought i was the only one who felt like that you yeah i was so busy trying to be
perfect and and you don't feel that way no that's exactly what makes you so perfect
you are going to be a great novelist because you have created
a fictitious character in your head about no yes no yes no i don't believe that
why'd you give up on becoming an artist
because i'm too cynical to be an artist i think that to be really really good you have
to come from someplace inside that i'm just not sure i have you underestimate yourself
do you know that
android um
will you come home with me
wow that's a bit forward yeah
that's not what i'd expect for him to take his debut well you know i'll debbie downstairs
and you were my first crush too
