Yeah, exactly. What are you supposed to do? Like talk to people you went to high school with who have lied to you at your age for years? Tessa is like, I never even wanted to be in the place I was from in the first place. Yeah. Right? Like she's one of those girls that went as far as possible.

So to go home for the holidays, she has to leave her, like, prestigious Hogwarts-ass college she attends, fly on a giant plane all the way to the other side of the world to her home country that is also a continent. Okay. I have zero guesses. Yeah. How would you have a guess? And then she has to drive hours from the airport in the big city to the small town that she's from. Okay.

And that's like the worst part of this, right? Is that it's like in the small town, her parents work for the town. She went to school there. Everyone knows her. And that was like the old her, right? She's like, I feel different now. I don't want to go back to the land of kangaroos where everyone assumes they know everything about me.

Yes. Truly hate to do this to you, but you did tweet recently. And I quote, this is a great moral to never tweet. Oh, no.

Can you explain this?

What is having a crush like for you? Excruciating. Say more. I mean, like, I can't sleep when I have like a real crush. Is it like an obsessive kind of crush? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So for all of high school, Tessa had an obsessive crush on this girl, Erica. Okay. They were the smartest girls in their literature class. But Erica, like, always had a boyfriend and seemed to be straight. Okay.

Tessa assumed that by going very, very far away for college, she'd like forget all about Erica. And for the most part, she did. She's like, I'm the new Tessa now, right? Like I have a whole cool group of queer friends. I'm like reading classic books. I joined a rec sports league in college, right? Like I'm totally different. Yeah.

Aha. Okay. The minute Tessa gets on the plane to go home, her brain is like, remember Erica? Yeah. And so she has so much time on the plane to think about this because the flight is hours and hours and hours. And she's, like, pining having a crush like that is so miserable. I can't do it, right?
