[voiceover] Love is when you look into someone's eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside, to their soul, and you both know instantly. I always imagined I'd fall in love nursing a blind soldier who was wounded in battle. Or maybe while rescuing someone in the middle of a blizzard, seconds before the avalanche hits. I thought at least by the age of 15 I'd have a love life, but I don't even have a like life!

[voiceover] Huge events take place on this earth every day. Earthquakes, hurricanes...even glaciers move. So why couldn't he just...look at me?
I can go out on dates, right?
Yes, but we do have certain ground rules.
Like what?
Like what?
Well, you have a curfew, and we have to know where you're going and with whom, and you can't do any drinking, and you can't get in a car with a boy who's done any drinking, and your father and I have to meet him first, whoever he is. That's it.
Wow!
You have to meet him first?
Yes!
...
That is so humiliating. This person means something to me.
Is there a person who means something?
Yes, and I don't see why you can't just trust that. Why should I have to parade him around in front of you?
We just want to drag you down to our level.
[voiceover] This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received instructions on where to go and what to do.
What.
So have you and Kyle gone all the way yet?
That is. Completely. None of your business.
Duh. We aren't friends, due to the fact that neither of us can stand each other. And that's why I asked. Ask me me anything. Go ahead -- it's like, relaxing.
You're so weird.
Duh squared.
Okay. Look. I made a solemn promise to myself. That I would not go all the way until I was ready. And I'm, like. Sticking to that.
Well, it sure looks like you are reaching ecstasy when you and Kyle make out in the hall.
Well, yeah! Well, I mean...well, you know how it is.
Well, yeah, in a way. I mean it's fun and all, but I don't always feel anything. Sometimes I feel numb, or something.
Maybe you just...haven't found the right person.
I've tried every type of person. [Sharon stares at her] You don't have to look all worried or anything.
