Simone Elkeles Quotes

I Park My Bike In Her Driveway And Ring Her Doorbell. I Clear My Throat So I Don't Choke On My Words. Mierda, What Am I Gonna Say To Her? And Why Am I Feeling All Insecure, Like I Need To Impress Her Because She'll Judge Me?
Nobody Answers. I Ring Again.
Where's A Servant Or Butler To Answer The Door When You Need One? Just As I'm About To Give Up And Slap Myself With A Big Dose Of What-the-fuck-do-I-think-I'm-doing, The Door Opens. Standing Before Me Is An Older Version Of Brittany. Obviously Her Mom. When She Takes One Look At Me, Her Disappointing Sneer Is Obvious.
"Can I Help You?" She Asks With An Attitude. I Sense Either She Expects Me To Be Part Of The Gardening Crew Or Someone Going Door-to-door Harassing People. "We Have A 'no Soliciting Policy' In This Neighborhood."
"I'm, Uh, Not Here To Solicit Anythin'. My Name's Alex. I Just Wanted To Know If Brittany Was, Uh, At Home?" Oh, Great. Now I'm Mumbling Uh's Every Two Seconds.
