Page 26 of Nobody in Particular

I’m not flirting with you.

Didn’t think you were?

I can’t actually speak French.

Can you not?

Would you like me to teach you?

You’re already signed up to teach me sleight of hand

Ice skating

And the history of your whole family

Admit it. You just want to hang with me.

On pain of death, I will not.

And I still don’t know how you can call yourself a snow sports lover if you can’t skate.

So I can’t do ONE snow sport!!!

Sue me!!!!

I’d like to see you race me on skis

Then you’ll shut up fast

I will absolutely race you, but I wouldn’t get too cocky before you see me.

What do you need the restaurant for anyway? A date?

Yeah, a super hot date

Between my mom and her husband

It’s their anniversary

Cuuuute right

But much less interesting.

What kind of dating budget do you think I have exactly?

I make a point of not speculating on other people’s finances.

Well, now I want to know. Humor me

What do you think I

An unemployed 16yo on a scholarship

Could spend on dinner for me and my imaginary date?

I don’t know.€200?

Oh my GOD
