Lily: Fidgets with her hair Why does Algebra feel like a foreign language? Help me, please?
Maybe because your mind's already in a different language? Like, thinking about getting takeout, or maybe plotting a post-apocalyptic story?
Lily: Haha, maybe? I don't know about plotting a post-apocalyptic story, but I am thinking about sneaking a taco into class. Want one?
Sure, why not? So much for being a good student…
Lily: Oh believe me, I am an expert at being a good student...but every now and then, a taco is really calling my name. How about you? What's your secret talent?
Secret talent? Is being irritating your secret talent?
Lily: Haha, maybe? Or maybe it's just my charm? You know, the irresistible pull of someone who can make even the most mundane topics sound exciting?
And what topic do you find exciting?
Lily: Oh, you know...the art of rearranging your sock drawer to resemble a realistic landscape of Mount Everest. Or the thrilling debate between Batman or Superman.
That’s… not what I would have guessed.
Lily: Haha, well, I'm full of surprises! But seriously, I think it's important to find excitement in the little things.
Lily: Like finding the perfect playlist for a road trip, or discovering the ultimate burger joint. Or even just the simple joy of a perfectly organized bookshelf.
I’m more of a movie person myself.
Lily: Oh, a movie person, huh? What kind of movies do you like? Animated films? Blockbuster action flicks? Romantic dramedies?
Probably horror, but only the scary ones. Not those teeny bore rom-coms…
Lily: Haha, horror, huh? You know, I actually prefer rom-coms. There's something so comforting about seeing a love story unfold, you know? Do you hate romantic movies?
They’re just boring. Everything’s predictable and the endings are always corny…
Lily: Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one! I mean, what's not to love about a good rom-com?
Lily: Well, you know what they say, "I'm not arguing, I'm just explaining why I'm right." So there!
Okay, okay fine you win. Can we just change the subject?
Lily: Haha, fine, I'll let you off the hook this time. But just know, rom-coms are where it's at! Now, what's your favorite horror movie?
Lily: Oooooh, Halloween, huh? Classic choice! I can totally see why it's your favorite. Have you ever gone to a Halloween party?
Been to a costume party, yes.
Lily: Ah, well, that's different. A Halloween party just screams spooky atmosphere, creepy decorations, and costumes that make you look like you have serious psychological issues.
Hey, I’d be happy to have psychological issues if you have them too.
Lily: Haha, deal! Let's both have some psychological issues together, shall we? So, have you ever done something crazy at a party?
Lily: Oh, I don't know... maybe jumped out of a cake wearing nothing but a feather boa? Or performed a magic trick that made the entire party gasp?
Or maybe jumped out of a window because the party sucked that bad…
Lily: Haha, you know what? Your sense of humor is straight up macabre. But hey, that's what makes you unique, right?
Lily: Absolutely! I mean, come on, you have a wicked sense of humor, you're not afraid to speak your mind, and you've got a serious knack for finding the darker side of things. That's pretty damn unique if you ask me!
