Okay thank christ. I didn't want to assume, but at the same time...
[ At the same time he keeps confusing Gumby and gumbo, so she can't be too sure. ]
And that's just because we weren't friends yet. If we were, I would have made you actually study. But then you would be going to a good college and wouldn't be around anymore and that would be really fucking sad so in a way I'm kind of glad you're still here?
[ It's not like there was much of a chance for them to be friends either way. She knows so much of Steve's growth came that final year, and she was still too hung up on him being a douchebag and hogging all of Tammy's attention. ]
Rob, I know what an encyclopedia is. You've seen the set in my living room.
Nancy made me study, but afterwards there kind of didn't seem like a point. I wasn't really thinking about college until I didn't get in.
[ Had it been stupid to assume he would because he was captain of the basketball team? Yeah. It was. No wonder she's not sure if he's joking. A part of him had just assumed everything would work out for him on it's own.
Not any more. ]
Yeah, until you get into a good college and you're not around anymore and I'll be really fucking sad.
[ Shit. He really shouldn't have sent that. They haven't really talked about it yet and this isn't the way he wants to do it. He doesn't really want to do it at all. ]
Well, yes, but maybe you didn't open them up at all? My mom's got them for decoration, I'm the only one who actually uses them.
Steve...
[ Sometimes she doesn't realize she's being a little too hard on him still, and that he's proven himself to be a much better person than he had been back when they first started working together at Scoops.
And then he has to go and remind her that it's almost her time to start applying to places, and she doesn't even know what she wants to do. There had been a time when she wanted to go abroad, take a gap year and just travel, but she's poor as fuck, Family Video isn't going to fund that trip, and how is she even going to afford college anyway? ]
Do you want to go to college? Maybe we can go together.
Or, I don't know. There's always community college, right?
