You Are Alone

Buddy:
What sort of mood do you have to be in for that?

Daphne:
Depressed.

Buddy:
And what, being groped by a dozen guys at a bachelor party cheers you up?

Daphne:
They're harmless... it's just...

Buddy:
What?

Daphne:
I know what it's like to be the popular girl for an hour.

Buddy:
Daphne...

Daphne:

Buddy:
Today?

Daphne:
All of it, every time... makes me... less invested with life at school, or even at home. It's... mine. Just mine. And because of it I don't have to play the game. I don't have to pretend to be friends with people that I hate. I don't need to rely on anyone, not even my parents. It's a little bit of a "f*** you" that helps me get through the day.
