i am not a psychopath, i am just using the disassociation i feel because of this medium to express my apathy, and therefore appear to be a dick, but if you met me in real life you would find me to be highly sentimental and comforting and i might actually love you, and that i lie about most things
larry patrick had an existential crisis when he was fifteen
and he had algebra/pre-calculus with yesenia velasquez
he had actually met her second period through his friend green card
kind of
he asked 'who is that girl?' and green said 'yesenia velasquez. why?'
'who?' larry said, having been distracted because yesenia looked at him just as green said her name
'yesenia' said green
'yesenia. yesenia. yesenia.' larry repeated this at least fifteen times to himself before she rather spontaneously signaled him over
she was giggling
'hi' he said 'hi' she said
and then the goddamn chemistry teacher came in and ruined everything
but they had algebra/pre-calculus together
it was during algebra/pre-calculus, and after his existential crisis, that larry told yesenia that he loved her
'do you mean that?'
'i haven't been surer of anything ever'
yesenia was freaked out. she was scared. she did not like larry that much.
she avoided him and did not make conversation that often through the rest of school
but larry was still convinced that she was the most beautiful girl anywhere, ever
via her mind, body, and soul......?
so every year, during every major holiday he made her a present
and he never forgot her birthday
it wasn't until he saw her the week before graduation
and stopped her in the hall
and played 'unforgettable' by nat king cole
sung by the school choir played through larry's camera after a school function where they sang this
that he realized that she was 'unattainable' and decided that he was an idiot for even trying
because all she could do was look him in the eyes and apologize repeatedly
like a fucking frigid prostitute who's already taken your cash
and so he abandoned his notions of love
and never returned to them again out of fear and self-loathing
don't feel sorry for him, assholes
he is happy now
damn happy
