ME

What if I told you I think I’m in love?

HAYDEN

I’d say you’re bat-shit crazy!

ME

Yeah you’re probably right.

HAYDEN

Remember the last time you said that?

ME

No. Because I know for a fact I’ve never been in love.

HAYDEN

2ndgrade. Miss Beverly.

ME

You moron. That doesn’t count. She was our teacher.

HAYDEN

I don’t know, you were pretty convincing. The way you used to pick her flowers on our walk to school.

Idon’t have to be with him to know he’s laughing his ass off right now. Hell, I should be too. If I wasn’t so distraught and strung-out with thoughts of Rosie.

ME

Laugh it up jackass.

HAYDEN

On a serious note, what are you gonna do?

ME

I don’t know.

HAYDEN

You’re that far gone?

ME

Think of the intensity of my seven-year-old feelings for Miss Beverly and times them by a thousand.

HAYDEN

Y’all are fucked.
