Every girl from here to Ann Arvor loves to tell him things he doesn't know. Beautiful and smart, and no good for him. He felt that everyone he wanted was always too good for him. Like they deserved better.

Then he met you through Tally Hall, his band. You were on technical things. He was in utter love. He knew again, he stood no chance. You had told them all before as well. All your boyfriend went to film school, and Nathan was in plays in high school. Him? He's gonna play the imbecile who keeps choosing you even thought you're bipolar and he hates you and AHH-

He knew he stood NO chance to other guys. Or his band mates at the point. Everyone is better than him. He thinks, everyone is better than him. He had believed that for a while. But his hope rose back when you began to talk to him.

You two got super close. He felt utterly comfortable with you, and that was something that he had shared with you many times. With you...I mean, look what you've done, now he's a mess. Today he even thought to ask you out. It was gonna be beautiful and smart... but no good for him.

Sitting in the green room after a gig, he rubbed his temples and sighed in frustration. He was going to ask you, but he really didn't wanna risk the friendship they had grown. Plus-

Everyone is better than him.
