TRANSCRIPT:
Give it up next for Ellie Chu. Cha-gi-cha-gi-chu-chu! The good thing about being
different in a town, like this is, that no one expects you to be like them.
I'm 17.I live in Squahamish with my dad. I run a business, writing essays for people.
I guess I just never thought I'd need anyone else. Hey, hold up! $10 for three pages.
No, I'm not trying to cheat. What's this?
A letter, maybe you can make me sound smart.
Dear, Easter Florence! I'm in love with you. These hallways are we murder.
I'm Ellie Chu. Yeah, I know you. You want a letter about love? I'll right you a letter
about love. Hey, she wrote back. We can do this. Ask her to hangout.
You message me. Yup! Conversation is like ping-pong. I hit one and then you...
What the? Oops! Where were you born? In Squahamish. What do you like about
squahamish? I've never been anywhere else. Me, neither. What do you like
about Easter? She's pretty and smart. What else could I like about her?
I don't know how her eyes are cried in neighbors how you can live in an ocean
of her thoughts and she really knows... I'm so stupid. I just meant...
You like Easter. Hey, it would suck to have to pretend to be not you your whole life.
I gotta go. No wait! Chu-chu! HOu would you call her, chu-chu?! What?
You know what it's like to finally meet someone your age who gets you.
Love, it's not finding your perfect half. It's the trying, and reaching, and failing.
Ellie seems sad. No, you don't see her. Who she is. Who she could be.
