Speaker 1: Hey, I'm outside. Okay, m hm, oh that was fast.
Hey no, no, no, no, no, don't feel bad, it's fine.
I don't know where your sister is. But I'm kind
of glad you called me because I know what it's
like to feel totally stranded somewhere when you don't want
to be there. Buggle your seatbelt though, safety first. Okay,
So what about the party was particularly sucky? I relate
to that a lot. I'm just not a huge party person.
In theory. They always sound like a good idea, but
then I get there and I'm like, what are we
doing here? By the way, you're not drunk, are you?
I mean you're not driving, so it wouldn't really matter.
But just making sure that you have your wits about you,
that's all? Okay? Good. You really don't strike me as
a party type of guy like at all, So I'm
just curious, why did you go? Uh? I should have
known a girl? Well? Did she talk to her? What
do you mean? You know? Can I be real? Is that? Okay?
She's so annoying. I know, I'm sorry. I know that
she's really pretty, but her voice is just nails on
a chalkboard to me, and not to mention if she
wouldn't talk to you or was blowing you off, what
kind of girl is she? Anyway? No, no, no, no,
we're not gonna have any of that. No talking bad
about yourself, not in this car. All right, I'll kick
you right to the curb. I'm not kidding. Do you
not say anything mean about yourself in my presence? I
will not tolerate it, understood, No, But seriously, if she
wouldn't give you the time of day, I'm glad that
you left. Were you able to talk to anyone else? Oh?
That's good. Yeah, he's always been really nice. I see, Well,
at least you had some positive interaction. I guess. I
just feel like, if I want to talk to somebody,
it feels like going to a party is not the
place to do it, you know, because it's loud and
people are drinking, and sometimes it just kind of feels
like it's a competition for who can be the loudest
and most rowdy. I am not an introvert. Alm I okay, fine.
Maybe I was spending my Saturday night alone playing Mario Kart.
I'm trying to get better at it, but that does
not make me an introvert. It just makes me cozy. Well,
the last time you beat me so embarrassingly bad in
Mario Kart that I feel like I need to really
brush up. So I've been practicing. No, not to be
you specifically, but playing with you definitely made me realize
that I'm not very racer Lee. I don't know if
that's a word. By the way, am I taking you
to your apartment? Or Okay? Yeah, I think I know
the way? This way right? Okay, Oh, you're interested in
another battle? Can you just let me win at least once? Yeah,
I'll let you come back to my place and play,
but only if you let me win at least once.
But you can't make it obvious that you let me win,
Like I don't want you to be ahead of me
the whole time and then just like wait at the
finish line and then let me pass you like you
need to make it believable. You need to be a
good actor. I know it's a lot of requirements, plaase
my ego needs it. No, your sister's not any better.
I mean, she's a little better than me, but she
always picks the baby characters, so it's really easy to
just knock her out of the way, not that I
would ever do that, but I want to be good
at it for my actual skill, not just me like
hitting people. Yeah, I know I might be a hopeless case.
But whatever that said, none of that makes me an introvert.
Although it is true that I would much rather be
with one person or two people than a whole party
of people. So maybe I am Really you are too,
I don't know. I feel like you always talk to people,
am I? Oh, you talk to people when you have to,
but not because you want to. Maybe same, Maybe we're
both introverts. Then, well, that girl is not an introvert.
She's like the definition of look at me, Look at me, everyone,
look at me. She wants to be the center of
attention at all times. She wants to have everyone fawning
over her. I'm just saying I don't feel like that
necessarily matches who you are. I mean, would you really
want to date someone like that? I see? Okay, so
maybe you didn't want to date her, Maybe you just
wanted Yeah, okay, understood, understood, no judgment, But is there
any part of you that wants a girlfriend? I'm just curious,
that's all. We've known each other for a long time,
and I don't think I can ever remember you having
a girlfriend. I have too, had a boyfriend sort of
well I'm not sure Iffic counts. But this isn't about me.
We're talking about you. Oh yeah, you did date her.
I forgot. I didn't like her either. It's not that
I don't like anyone that you're interested in. I just
don't think that you choose the right people. I've known
you for a long time, so I kind of know
your taste, and I don't know. I don't approve. I
don't know if your sister approves either, but she's less
likely to approve of anyone because we both know that
she is just grumpy. I was asking cause maybe we could,
I don't know, like cuddle or something like as friends,
not in a girlfriend way. Just after you beat me
that many times playing this game tonight, I just might
need someone to cuddle me. So I want to make
sure that you can deliver the whole package that's all
platonic cuddling, because that's so bun. I'm giggling because I
think it's funny. I like my own joll so will you.
I'm not gonna admit that it's not platonic because it is.
I am not blushing. Shut up, but you can't even
see it dark. Don't use your phone flash like you weirdo. Stop.
Oh my god, Okay, fine, I'm blushing a little whatever.
I haven't cuddled anyone in a while, so what. Besides,
it's embarrassing enough that you're gonna keep beating me at
the game and secretly letting me win, even though we
both know it's not a secret. So I don't have
much pride left. Oh my goodness, I'm sweating. I don't know.
I'm all flustern. I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of
happy that you called me to pick you up. Well,
we haven't really been alone together in a while or
maybe ever. I feel like your sister's always there. But
sometimes when we're all together, I feel like me and
you are always laughing at the same stuff that like
your sister doesn't really catch on to. Yeah, like that
one time when we were watching the commercial for Alien
and we were both like this is so sess but
your sister like didn't even notice. She's like, oh, it
looks scary, and we're both like this looks not Okay,
you know what I'm talking about though, right, Like we
just sort of have the same sense of humor, I guess,
And I've sometimes thought about maybe if we met under
different circumstances, like not through your sister, if maybe there
would be something more. I mean, I'm only a couple
of years older than you. I did gloss over that
dead night. I don't know what do you think? Like,
have you ever thought about me? You can say no,
don't feel pressured. Really? Oh okay, well in that case,
I'm same. Since you've twisted my arm. I actually have
a huge crush on you, and I knew that you
were going to that party tonight, so I saw you
post about it on Snapchat and I was like, why
is he going to this stupid party? But I figured
it was fair girl. I'm not gonna lie. I wish
that it was me a little, just a little. But
I haven't had the guts to say anything because I
don't want to make it weird between us or god
forbid your sister find out. I'm being completely serious. I've
actually had a crush on you for probably like five years.
But no, that's not why I sit close to you
when we play games. Shut up, you say close to
me of anything. Don't turn this around on me. You
have not had to crush on me for five years too.
That's a fake. You're not being real right now. No, okay, okay, fine, fine,
I'll believe you this time. Maybe we're almost at my place.
You're sure that you want to come over, even after
all this confessing. Okay, cool. We could order pizza too
if you want. I don't know if you've eaten anything. Yeah,
I don't mind. It can be kind the maybe like
a little first date. Maybe is that going too far?
Has that too much to say? Okay, well, we're here,
so you order the pizza and I'll get the game ready. Okay,
