\nMatt<\/b>: Yeah.
\nJenna<\/b>: You’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever known.\n
\nJenna<\/b>: What happened?
\nMatt<\/b>: I don’t know. I can pretty much peg it to your 13th birthday party, when you were in the closet playing that game. Spin the Rapist?
\nJenna<\/b>: Seven Minutes in Heaven. Everybody ditched. And that is the last thing I remembered.\n
\nMatt<\/b>: I have realized these past few days that… you can’t just turn back time.
\nJenna<\/b>: Why not?
\nMatt<\/b>: I moved on. You moved on. We’ve gone down different paths for so long. We made choices. I chose Wendy. We care about each other, you know.\n
\nYoung Matt<\/b>: You know, I can’t believe you invited those clones.
\nYoung Jenna<\/b>: They’re my friends.
\nYoung Matt<\/b>: The Six Chicks are not your friends, okay?
\nYoung Jenna<\/b>: Well, almost. And someday, I’m gonna BE a Sixth Chick.
\nYoung Matt<\/b>: There are six of them, Jenna, that’s the whole point. There can’t be a seventh Sixth Chick. It’s just mathematically impossible. Besides you’re way cooler than they are, they’re totally unoriginal.
\nYoung Jenna<\/b>: I don’t want to be original, Matty, I want to be cool.\n
\n

Jenna<\/b>: Matt, stop being so nice to me. I don’t deserve it. Do you know what kind of person I am now, I mean – do you know who I am right now? I don’t have any real friends. I did something bad with a married guy. I don’t talk to my mom and dad. I’m not a nice person. And the thing is – I’m not 13 anymore.<\/p>\n

\n

Young Jenna<\/b>: I wanna be thirty. Thirty and flirty and thriving.<\/p>\n

\nBecky<\/b>: Why are you talking to me?
\nJenna<\/b>: Why not? We are neighbors, right?
\nBecky<\/b>: But you usually ignore me.
\nJenna<\/b>: I like your shoes.
\nBecky<\/b>: Thanks. I like your dress.
\nJenna<\/b>: That’s because I have these incredible boobs to fill it out!\n
\nBeverly<\/b>: Just because you don’t look like those girls in Poise magazine doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful in your own way.
\nYoung Jenna<\/b>: I don’t want to be beautiful in my own way. I want to look like these people.
\nBeverly<\/b>: Oh, those aren’t people, honey. Those are models.
\nYoung Jenna<\/b>: Look at this. “Thirty and flirty and thriving. Why the thirties are the best years of your life.” I wanna be thirty.
\nBeverly<\/b>: [chuckles] Well, you will be, honey. But right now, you’re my beautiful 13-year-old.\n
\nJenna<\/b>: I love you, Matt. You’re my best friend.
\nMatt<\/b>: Jenna… I’ve always loved you.\n
\nJenna<\/b>: I don’t know what Lucy said to you about me. But I want you to know that whoever she was talking about wasn’t me.
\nMatt<\/b>: It doesn’t matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my Pop Rocks in the third grade.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
