“Did it ever occur to you that maybe I want to do all the same things in high school that the rest of you are? That I want to go on a first date? Maybe I’d love to get asked to go to a dance or ask a guy to go to a dance. That I’d like to have the crappy stories about the guys I just don’t click with and the crazy ones about the guy I didn’t stop kissing long enough to get out of the car and go in to see a movie?”
