That night Nicole discovered a love she never believed could be true. Her heart will forever yearn for his scraggly beard rubbing between her thighs, and his rough, calloused hands that held her as she cried.
Sometimes, when visiting friends in the south, she drives by the trailer park where he lives and then the gas station where he works because maybe, just maybe, she’ll catch a glimpse of those rosy red cheeks again. Just to remind herself what it was like to be young again. What it was like to feel.
He sends dick pics to Paris regularly, and she pretends she’s annoyed, but she likes it.

"The SAT is a scam. It has been around for 50 years. It has never measured anything. And it continues to measure nothing. And the whole game is that everybody who does well on it, is so delighted by their good fortune that they don’t want to attack it. And they are the people in charge. Because of course, the way you get to be in charge is by having high test scores. So it’s this terrific kind of rolling scam that every so often, somebody sort of looks and says—well, you know, does it measure intelligence? No. Does it predict college grades? No. Does it tell you how much you learned in high school? No. Does it predict life happiness or life success in any measure? No. It’s measuring nothing."

When I was studying for the SAT last year, I had to decide between two study guides: one by the College Board ( the group that puts together the SAT test) and the other by the Princeton Review. The Princeton Review’s guide exuded such a distain for the SAT and the College Review, that I knew it would be the guide to get. It was great.

I got drunk the night before I took the SAT and fell asleep at some point while I was taking it because I had been up all night and was hungover.
I mean, who schedules a test for Saturday morning?
I did that because I didn’t care, and I knew it didn’t matter.

"Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…"
