I'm not... [stops] ...Even the things I am good at, there's always someone better than I could ever be. And there's a lot I can't live up to.

Even if there are people better than you in one particular area - and there always are - they're worse than you in others. It's the combination of all your traits that make you yourself.

But I've seen people who are better than me at even the things I'm good at. All of them at once. I can't measure up no matter what.

Are you sure you haven't forgotten something you're good at?

I thought I'd found things I was good at -- fighting, baking, studying -- but either it wasn't enough or it didn't matter. Maybe I think too much about this.

You do dwell on it too much. Someone will adore you one day.

I'm not sure, but... thank you.

...I really bruised the bananas, didn't I?

They're just bananas, I wasn't attached.

I suppose. I'll replace your produce, though.

[Maybe not the condoms. She's too embarrassed to go buy more of those.]

If you insist, you can.

I'll do it as soon as I can.

[Useful = lovable.]

...Um, so about that song in the dare, do I need to know what a... never mind.

You might not want to ask.

[Well, if he says that after telling her she doesn't have to try and stay innocent for people to like her, then it must really be bad.]

I'm sorry. Um... how much else is there that's important to know? This is embarrassing, but I really want to do it right so I don't look dumb.

Important to know about sex? Well, we've covered birth control. Do we need to talk about consent?

Um... I guess so?

If you ever don't want to do anything, and your partner doesn't respect that and does it to you anyway, they're a louse and I'll kill them.

...Kidding.

I'm only joking, angel. Really.

I'm sorry! I guess I worry too much, I didn't mean to imply anything.

What I meant is that you have the right to decide at any time that you don't want to do something, and they should respect that.

It's a little scary, but you're making sense. I just get scared because I worry that I can't be too picky.

You can be as picky as you want to be.

Not really. I kind of have a history of being passed over. I mean, one time someone actually sort of asked me out -- I think? That's what "hook up" means, right? Going somewhere? -- and I sort of felt like I owed it to him even though I thought it was scary. But when I said that, I got yelled at because I "don't owe anyone wanting them", even if I can't be with someone I really want. It's all confusing.

You don't owe anyone anything. If you don't like someone, you aren't obligated to be with them, or with anyone.

I guess not. I just felt that way because I didn't think I could afford to be like that and I knew how it felt to be hurt.
