"An empty, stupid smile." "No, a warm, real smile, because you wanted people to like you."
"And they played tricks on me, and laughed at me."
"Yes, but even though you didn't understand why they were laughing, you sensed that if they could laugh at you they would like you.
And you wanted them to like you. You acted like a child and you even laughed at yourself along with them."

"Maybe that's why it was so important for me to learn. I thought it would make people like me.
I thought I would have friends. That's something to laugh at, isn't it?"
"There's more to it than just having a high I.Q." That made me angry. Probably because I didn't really understand what she was driving at.

She talked around them and expected me to know what she was thinking.
And I listened, pretending I understood but inside I was afraid she would see that I missed the point completely.
