Speaker 1: What's up with you, kangaroo? Oh damn, dude, I didn't
mean to scare you. Did you really not hear that
loud door opening behind you? Yeah, you must have been
in deep thought. That door creaking is the loudest thing
I've ever heard. Uh. Sure, I should be in class technically,
but so should you. Well, I won't tell on you
if you don't tell on me. Besides, it's basically the
easiest class ever, let's be honest. So why are you
out here on the roof? I know, I know, deep
in thought and all that, But what I don't get
is if you were gonna just disch class anyway, why
did you even come into Well I don't know about you,
but I prefer to have my deep thought sessions asleep
and bad snuggle in many many blankets. But hey, don't
switch this around back on me, since you're so curious.
I'm only out here because you are out here. Yeah.
I saw you just casually stand up in mosey on
out of class, and that kind of thing interests me.
Of course, I followed you. I figured if you were
headed to the roof, you were probably gonna make out
with someone or something. Oh my gosh, you are so
cute when you get flustered like that. Oh, you so
are a real cutie petuity, just a straight up sweetie
pie for sure. No, no, no, that's the thing. I
don't think you do get it. I don't think you
understand just how unbelievably cute you are. Oh my god,
Oh I just want to eat you up. Oh is
that a smile? I win? Oh my god, you're even
cuter when you're smiling, making me bite my lip. Man, Hey, hey,
what's up? Like? Actually, I'm not an idiot. I mean
I am, but I'm not a total idiot, and I
know when someone's not doing well. No, it's not obvious,
at least not to everyone. But not everyone has been
where you are right now. No, not on the roof.
I mean mentally, I don't know everything that you're going through,
but I know, at least to some extent, how you feel.
I'm not like trying to downplay anything or tell you
that it's normal or that everyone has to deal with
stuff like this. I just I've been in a similar
place before, and it sucks, and I don't want you
to have to be alone. But if you want me
to go away, I will. But I am here for you,
whatever that's worth. Can I sit here with you? Thanks?
So do you want to talk about what's going on?
Or would you like to sit here quietly? I don't
mind either way. I mean, if it's in silence, I
will have to keep calling you cute and potentially kiss you.
So i'd recommend that you start chatting just to entertain
my scatter brain. But your choice, obviously. Yeah. Of course
you can talk to me about anything, seriously, anything. I
won't breathe a word of this to anyone else, promise.
I know. I know we haven't really talked much before,
but sometimes talking to someone that doesn't know you super
well is actually nice. You know exactly, no expectations, no
consequences or anything, and you can just be fully honest.
It's actually kind of freeing, you know. Go ahead and
take your time. I'm not going anywhere, okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh oh I see.
Speaker 1: Oh that sucks. I'm sorry, Annie. No one should have
to deal with that, but I might even know that
you're super strong to cope with all of that as
well as you have been. I mean, not that you
should have to be, but I know that it doesn't
really help right now. But one day soon it will.
I haven't dealt with that exact thing before, but I've
struggled with something similar. And yeah, it can feel like
your whole world is collapsing. But I promise you it's
normal to feel that way, even though it sucks. I
know I said I wouldn't say that, but it's true.
That doesn't mean it's any less awful to be going
through it though. I'm sorry. I'm not great at talking
about this stuff. To be honest, I feel like I'm
barely holding my own life together sometimes a lot of
the time. Even so, I'm probably not the best person
to dish out life advice. You know. Well, normally I
just rely on the old call and cute and distractive method,
but I know that doesn't exactly help. I'm I'm kind
of an idiot sometimes. Oh it was making you feel
better for real? Oh sweet never mind, I'm a genius. Well,
then you better brace yourself for some positive affirmations, my dude,
because I got that stockpiled Come here, Come here. It's
a coddle, sweetheart. It's literally the best thing humanity ever invented.
You can hug me back. You know you're not breaking
any rules or anything because a one sided hug might
feel nice for you, but it's kind of awkward for me.
Just put your hands around my back and put your
head on my chest. You'll be fine, I swear. There
you go. Cuty, cuty, cuty cutie. Is this making you
feel better or worse? Okay? Good? Then cuttle more? We
shall you know I'm not just calling you cute for
the sake of it. By the way, you seriously are cute. No, no, no,
I'm not saying it to make you feel better. You
really are. No, not in a patronizing way. I mean,
you're a good looking dude. What do you want you
to say? You're handsome, good looking? What will make you
feel like you're on top of the world? Tell me, ha,
you got it. You, sir, are the cutest, handsomest, good
looking petutin houtin hati petati with a nice body that
I ever laid in my eyes on a lot of light.
So me calling you cute sounds disingenuous. But if I
use Happy English dictionary and makeup words, and it's fine,
you're weird. No being weird it's a good thing. Trust me.
Being enormy stinks. Gotta have your quirks on display, you know, yes, exactly,
See we're on the same level. We're cool. Oh oh,
hell yeah, I'm a weird kind of girl. Couldn't you tell?
I am not the popular girl? No? No, no, no, no, no.
Maybe I'm pretty, but I guarantee you everyone here knows
me as well as you do, which is to say,
not very much. You do. Not? Okay? Then what's my
last name? Genius? Whoa? Okay? Then touche. Although kind of creepy,
what are you stalking me or something? Relax, I'm just
messing with you. Sorry, Sorry, it's probably not the best
time to play with your emotions.
Speaker 2: My bad.
Speaker 1: I don't mean this as a joke or in a
mean way or anything. But do you have any friends,
like one set live nearby or here at UNI? Maybe family,
just anyone that you trust. Do you have a relationship
with any of them where you can be like open
and vulnerable. Well, I'm asking because I could be that
for you if you want. Sure, we have a few
classes together, so maybe we can study together and have
a little heart to heart after I mean why not? No, no,
not like friends, but like buddies, you know. Yes, the
only thing better than venting through a stranger is having
a good buddy to chat with. Trust me, I'm an
expert when it comes to the science of buddy. Hey,
where are you going? Wait up? Did I say something wrong?
Oh honey, I'm sorry. Am I being too overbearing? What? Hey? No? No, no,
why would you think that? Don't say that. I never
thought that of you. I'm not doing this out of pity.
I mean I followed you out here because I could
tell you weren't doing okay. You've been struggling for a while. Now.
I did feel sorry for you, that's true, But even
in a few moments we spent together, I realized what
a beautiful person you are. And you're unbelievably attractive, both
in your looks but especially your personality. Yes, you're so sweet,
and I'm not just talking about everything you've been struggling with. Like,
besides you sharing that with me, I can just tell
you're a nice guy. No one should have to go
through what you're dealing with, but at the very least
you shouldn't go through it alone. I want to be
there for you, not just with this, but everything you need,
even if you want to hang out and just like
play a game to take your mind off something. I
can be there for you. Sh no, no, no, it's okay.
It's not your fault. None of this is your fault.
Come here, come here, I got you, I got you.
That's it. Just listen to my heart. What was that? Oh?
You want me to talk sweet to you some more? Okay,
I can totally do that. In fact, i'll see you
one better. Come on, let's go sit back down and
I can show you. Let's sit over this side because
the sun is shining on the side and the wind
is cold up here. Plus having some warm sunshine on
your skin will make you feel a lot better, I promise.
Uh huh. An untrained minds such as yours only sees
one space for a person to sit, But through ways
of my mystical perceptions, I will teach you otherwise. Sit down, okay,
now lean back a little, spread your legs a bit. Now,
wrap your hands around me while I sit down on
top of you. There we go. See, enough space for
one to sit becomes plenty of space for two. Okay,
plenty is a strong word, but come on, this is
kind of sweet. Right. Oh yeah, you're really gonna say
that while you're getting all flustered. Have I got that right, sir? Well,
if that's how you feel, then I guess I can leave.
Oh will you grab me so fast? I guess you
do like having me in your lap. Huh Oh makes
you feel nice, doesn't it? See you sometimes I know
what I'm doing. Oh my god, you're still so cute,
even cuter from this angle. I'm my dad. I don't
know just the way you're looking up at me, flustering
up a storm, desperately holding me by my waist. So
I don't leave you. It's it's cute. Do you think
you could say something nice about me? Why are you
getting so embarrassed. It's not like I'm asking you to
sing my praises throughout the land. I don't know. You
could call me I'm pretty or awesome or cool as
heck or something. No, you can't call me cute. I
already called you that. It doesn't count. That is not
a compliment. Oh my god, you're actually so nervous to
say something sweet. That's adorable. We're on the roof, dude,
no one's around. What do you think someone's a floor
below leaning out the window with one of those massive
old timey hearing aid things come on, just a sweet
little compliment. You can whisper it in my ear if
you want. I'm all ears. Oh my gosh, you did
not just say that. Oh my god, you're crazy. Well
now I'm blushing. Oh my gosh, you're cheeky, well played, sir. Well,
it's safe to bet that I feel quite complimented after that. No,
I don't think I could handle another compliment from you.
I might blush myself into oblivion. I don't know. I'm sorry,
I'm all flustered. Now. You're such a sweetheart. You know that, Yes,
you are. I really like you. Like legit, You're really sweet. No,
I don't think you get what I'm saying. I like
you as an I really really like you. Can someone
else answer this phone because the person I'm talking to
isn't listening to me. Do you have a girlfriend? By
the way, Sorry, I know that was really sudden, but
I need to know, well, I need to know. I'm
not How do I put this delicately? Walking through someone
else's garden? Oh? Single? Are we? How? Very very fascinating
yet very confusing? Well, I'm just wondering how someone as
nice and cute as you, as single kind of sus Snow,
what do you snore or something bad? Gas? Well, I
guess I have to find out for myself, and I
do enjoy a good mystery. What I just want to
learn more about you? Is that a crime? And more specifically,
I needed to make sure I wasn't breaking any hearts
before I did a little something. Turn your head for
me and I'll show you. Come on, give me that
cute cheek. Did you like?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 1: Means as much as you wanted to? Oh, you're right,
I can't let your other cheek out jealous? Here turn
your head. There we go. Now you are nice and
symmetrical and two big lipstick marks for everyone to see you. Sorry, no,
One'm just kidding. That would be kind of funny, though,
wouldn't it. Oh? Oh my gosh, is it raining? Oh?
That scared me? No, it's not ominous. Lightning strikes are
a good sign. Everyone knows that, trust me. I know
the science of buddies super well. But a close second
is my vast knowledge of lightning strikes and their associations
with being good omens. I'm a smort book learner. What
can I say? So? Do you want to sit here
on the rain or shall we go. No, I'm not
back to class. That ship has sailed. I mean like,
let's go to my car and bounce, I don't know,
grab something, hang out whatever. Yeah, sounds like a plan.
Let's go. But wait, will you hold my hands while
we walk all the way down to the ground floor
or would that embarrass you too much? Okay, perfect,
