Worthington College For I Can't Think Of Anything Funny Fo Put Here. Oliver walks Joey to her door. "So, this is it," he says. "Yeah," Joey offers. "Yeah," he says. "End of the night," Oliver says. "Yeah," Joey says. My God, the romance! The Tinkly Music Of The End Of A Date With A Hot Guy Who Also Has A Normal-Sized Head plays softly in the background. Oliver holds out his hand, as if he's asking for a handshake. Joey takes it awkwardly, and he drags her to a convenient nearby window seat. Where are the rest of the people in her dorm? The hall is totally deserted. When I was in college, back in the stone ages, people stayed up all night long. I used to go to bed at, like, four in the morning. "So, you never did tell me what yours is like?" Oliver says. "My dad?" Joey asks. Oliver points out that he showed her his. Joey shrugs. "Let's just call it the opposite and leave it at that," she chirps with false cheer. "As in, not solid, not hardworking?" Oliver asks. As in a cheating, drug-dealing criminal, Joey clarifies. "Wow," Oliver says, then thinks about it and offers that Bad Dad Mike Potter must have done something right. "Since [Joey's] entombed in these hollowed [sic] halls." Joey chuckles and agrees that when her dad was around, he was pretty good with that whole Little Girl, You Can Be Anything You Want To Be thing. "I see. And what is it that you want to be, little girl?" Oliver asks. Joey grins. "I don't know. I guess I'm a work in process," she says. They gaze at each other moonily; then Oliver leans in and kisses her. He grins. She blushes and smiles back. "Good night," he says, and leaves, grinning widely to himself. "Good night," Joey says, and sits there all alone on the window seat and swings her feet back and forth and smiles to herself.
