:48:01
And I was late for class.
:48:07
It was the nicest thing
anyone's ever done for me.
:48:11
So you two became friends?
:48:12
We had a class together.
Algebra. l sat behind her.
:48:17
She's got this shiny hair, you know?
:48:20
It smells like apples.
:48:23
I'd sit there,
staring at her from behind.
:48:25
She has this cluster of beauty marks
on the back of her neck.
:48:29
I know this sounds weird...
:48:31
...but they were in
the most fascinating patterns.
:48:36
Like a puzzle waiting
to be solved, a Rubik's cube...
:48:39
...an uncharted constellation.
:48:42
So that's what l'd do.
l'd stare at the back of her neck...
:48:46
...playing connect-the-dots.
:48:50
I've found salmon swimming upstream
on the back of that neck.
:48:55
Spider webs...
:48:57
...sea monkeys even.
And the bell would ring...
:49:00
...and she'd be the first one out.
:49:02
And l'd be stuck there,
sitting with all these...
:49:05
...salmon and sea monkeys
dancing in my head.
:49:10
Very interesting.
:49:13
So l guess Liz was a hero to you?
:49:16
l mean, wouldn't it bother you
to lose such a close friend?
:49:20
This is high school, Detective Cruz.
What is a friend, anyway?
:49:25
A friend is someone who tells
the truth no matter what.
:49:30
A true friend never lies.
:49:33
Look. Liz was sweet.
l did her a favour.
:49:37
Can l go now, please?
:49:40
Sure, Vylette.
:49:52
This is high school, Detective Cruz.
What is a friend, anyway?
:49:58
Liz is the cat's meow. Meow!
