"So.......is she cool?" he asks me.
"Um, well, I mean........she's...."
"I'm not asking because I want to sleep with her or anything!"
"Well, you can't anyway, she's getting married." I snap.
"No, I don't want to - I mean, that's not what I'm thinking about right now - ok, I might be, but that's not what I'm asking. What do you think of her?"
"..............I've only known her at school for a month. We just hung out yesterday for the first time. What are you asking me?"
I'm so confused here.

He sighs.
"I'm just trying to find out if you've successfully managed to make a new friend." and looks at the ground.
I'm sooooo confused here.
"Oh." I say.

Oh.
"Well, she's cool I guess......but she's not disgusting."
He laughs, and doesn't ask about her anymore.

"....release your high hopes, and they'll survive...."
