Paper Girl 2/5

Tina: I made such a fool of myself. He’ll never speak to me again. It was my one chance, and I blew it.

Alvin: Billy said I won’t be able to do another one if nobody writes in to say they liked it, cos it’s the only way they can justify the cost of the ink

Tina: Huh?

Alvin: My cartoon? In the school paper? The one I’ve been talking about for the last ten minutes?

Tina: Oh, sorry, I guess I’m kinda distracted

Alvin: I’m sure he thought you were...charmingly eccentric

Tina: So in other words, a freak?

Alvin: Well yeah, but the cool kind

Tina: There aren’t any cool freaks

Alvin: Yeah, there are. Cool and freak are like two sides of the same coin...everyone else is just boring.
