Angela's life has returned to the original track again. If you don't count the reporters who have not left outside Cambridge, the sympathetic or gloating eyes everywhere in the school, and Lina, who will appear in her field of vision at any time, and those who have already Mavis, who is not by his side, and so on, is indeed back - well, life is like a roller coaster that always has its ups and downs, but the roller coaster of life doesn't go through the same track over and over again. It looks like the original one, but it's actually completely different. No one can step into the exact same river twice, not even Angela.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's the original or not, no matter which track you're on, troublesome things will come to you, such as—
"I've said it many times, you tell her directly that this kind of behavior makes you very uneasy, and please ask her to restrain herself for a while." Annie handed the glass full of juice to Angela with some humor.
"Then what? It lasts a few days at most and then she's solid. Oh, don't even have to hold back, just look at me pitifully and ask: Can't I come here, Angie? I can hide my face and leave and become Harvard It's a joke." Angela deliberately pretended to be timid when she said "pitiful", which made Annie laugh uncontrollably.
"Then what do you want to do?" asked Annie, who stopped laughing. "Wait long enough to call the police and apply for an injunction to the court? Let's not talk about the difficulty of collecting evidence. Even if the court agrees, what will other people, classmates, and the public think? you?"
"That's why I asked you!" Angela scratched her head angrily and helplessly.
"She is obviously looking forward to a passionate collision," Alizee's icy voice came from the side, "otherwise, I can't explain why it's been so long. You have given several options before and after, but she never took it. action."
"Lily, don't say that, okay?" Annie put her arms around Alizee's shoulders and shook it affectionately.
"Hey! I just want a once and for all method, okay!" Angela put down the cup and waved her arm angrily.
"The collision of passion is indeed a once and for all method." Unfortunately, Lily ignored her attitude directly, and then handed the information to her without waiting for Angela, who was dissatisfied, to speak: "What you want."
"Um... ah... this... thank you." Angela, who wanted to be angry, took the information subconsciously, but the interruption made her anger suddenly go back, and finally she could only stare at Alizee.
"That's it, remember to call me if you want to go there." Lily still didn't dump her, patted Annie's arm and turned to leave.
"Don't even think about going anywhere! Go now!" Angela suddenly jumped up and hugged Alizee from behind, greeted Annie, and walked towards the door.
Although Lily frowned, she did not resist, and she was dragged out halfway. Annie, who watched all this, smiled and shook her head after saying hello.
All the way to the temporary studio without words, Angela started the post-production work of "Crash" again, and the few days back to Los Angeles to attend the Oscar ceremony did not delay too much. So she still edited it slowly in a way of guessing. Anyway, there is still more time this year, so there is no need to be as anxious as before.
In addition to this, she is writing the theme song for Crash. Avril and Lindsay are both releasing their new albums this year, so Angela, who has dug them out with her own hands, will have to write a few songs—especially when she promised Avril's invitation last year, but ended up releasing pigeons, which has been criticized by the other party. Been several times.
That being the case, it's not bad to write the theme song for "Crash" while writing songs for them. As the investment in music or songs is reduced, it will take a lot of money to enter the ethereal state of the previous creation. Time, what if you don't take advantage of every opportunity.
"Sure enough, if you don't use it often, you will be unfamiliar. Why do you have to think for a long time to come up with suitable lyrics?" Angela, who was fiddling with the guitar strings, muttered a little depressedly. There were originally plans to release a new album this year, but unfortunately with the "Star Wars Prequel"
The filming of the second part and the reshoots of "The Lord of the Rings", and the most important thing to do after graduation, so this plan can only be in vain.
Or how about slowly starting to pick up songs from now on, and then releasing a new album next year? Angela suddenly thought so. It's a good idea, but next year, I'll start preparing for that movie again. Time... By the way, it's not bad to let Weiwei and Lindsay write a few songs for themselves. Well, think about it if you have time.
Angela rubbed her chin and smiled, really wanting to know what kind of songs they can write for themselves now, of course, if it's bad, I don't mind piercing them to the core. However, why do you always feel that something will happen in 2003? Is it something similar to 911
Just as the girl was trying to remember, there was a knock on the door.
"The editing room will ask you when you will be there. In addition, this is the work situation yesterday. If there is no doubt after reading it, I will put it in the file." Alizee, as always, did not wait for Angela to say "please come in" broke in.
Angela also took the document and turned it over as always, without the slightest surprise, both of them were used to it.
"No problem, you can put it in the file." After reading the file quickly, the girl nodded and returned it to Alizee, "Tell them to give me another ten minutes, there is a lyric that is stuck in my head and can't come out. Come on, if you don't write it out, I'm afraid it will affect the judgment on editing."
"It's amazing. It turns out that an omnipotent genius like you will get stuck sometimes." Alizee, who was sorting out in front of the filing cabinet, said so, although there was the word "surprise" in her words, her tone But it didn't mean the slightest bit, even with a little sarcasm.
In this regard, Angela can only roll her eyes: "I just haven't written a song for a long time, as long as I take the time to write often, I can quickly recover. Just like the soundtrack, I often deal with movies, so I have always been very Inspiration."
Having said that, the girl was still a little depressed about her state of writing songs.
It's really not good, just make up some songs that you still remember. Such thoughts suddenly popped out of Angela's mind. If you want to look for it, you can still find a few good songs from memory, but... I didn't realize it... The girl twitched the corners of her mouth strangely.
"If that's the case, why do you give the soundtrack to someone else and write the theme song yourself? If I remember correctly, usually the person who scores the movie is also the creator of the theme song." Lily didn't look back. said.
"Because the theme song doesn't take as much time as the soundtrack, you know, I have a lot of things to do, like the Star Wars prequels or the Lord of the Rings reshoots, etc. The most important thing is that I'm graduating soon. , if most of your energy is spent on the soundtrack, you can imagine what the result will be!" Angela spread her hands helplessly.
"Is that just the way it is?" Alizee suddenly turned around, her tan eyes staring at Angela without blinking, "Don't you think you're a little greedy, Angie? You want everything, want everything to be perfect , everything wants to suit your mind. You are lucky, but will you be so lucky forever? Look how long you have been hesitating now? Or you want everyone to lose patience with you. You will come to terms after you ignore it. Are you awake?"
Angela looked at Alize in front of her in a daze, although she still had a straight face and no expression, although her tone was still so indifferent and refused to reveal the slightest emotion, the girl could still hear this seemingly mocking expression. The concern behind the words.
This is probably the first time that Alizee has said this to herself, right? It is very rare. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth. She stood up a few steps and came to Lily, without saying a word, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly. Alizee obviously didn't expect her to have such a reaction, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"I know, I understand, some things will be resolved, they will. Just after graduation, I'm ready, don't worry." Angela closed her eyes and whispered in Lily's ear.
The room suddenly became quiet, and after a long while, Alize pushed Angela's arm away to hug her. Although there was still no expression on his face, he patted the girl's arm as if encouraging, then turned around and walked out.
"By the way, Lily." Angela suddenly stopped her again, and smiled slightly after the other party turned her head to look inquiring: "Forgot to say, thank you."
However, without the answer she expected, Alizee shrugged her shoulders and continued to walk out. When she came to the door, she tilted her head and stretched out her little finger to dig her ears: "It's strange, I actually had auditory hallucinations."
Angela rolled her eyes in addition to rolling her eyes.
Over time, whether it's the later stages of Crash or Angela's teetering on the verge of graduation, or the songs she's written for Vivi and Lindsay - she still doesn't choose to take some songs The idea of making up the numbers is nothing more than spending some time for her anyway, as long as she doesn't delay her homework, it doesn't matter.
Of course, some things haven't changed, such as Lina, who is always in her field of vision. Even if most of the reporters waiting outside Cambridge had withdrawn, the public's attention to her has also weakened a lot, and various film companies are eager to invite her to play roles. Lina was still wandering tirelessly where Angela could see, and then showed a slightly shy smile when she cast her gaze over.
Angela, who was helpless, could only turn a blind eye to him, anyway, for so long, except for the forced kiss, she didn't see any extreme behavior from her. Anyway, if you want to distract yourself, it's still very easy, you can just pick one out of so many things, and you're tired or can't figure it out and so on.
It's just that Lina obviously won't be satisfied with this state forever.
"Can I sit here?" A nice voice rang in her ears again, but Angela, who was reading the book, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she raised her head. Of course, she quickly restrained her emotions and made a gesture of please: "Of course."
"Thank you." Lina sat down in front of her with a smile, and frankly, she was still very pretty and cute.
"What's the matter, Lina?" Angela simply closed the book and looked at her at leisure.
"Yes," the other party nodded, and went straight to the subject without any nonsense, "GLAAD is planning to organize a grand parade in Boston in support of several justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court, and our society will also participate. So I was thinking , can you go to the parade too, Angela?"
"Gay parade? Sorry, Lina, it's impossible. This has nothing to do with discrimination, the key is..." Angela suddenly stopped here, and after a few seconds of reflection, she asked in surprise, "You just said... Solidarity with the senior justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court? Why is that?"
"Don't you know?" Lina's eyes were obviously surprised, "Just two weeks ago. The High Court accepted a case of gay marriage, and the verdict three days ago was: gay marriage is legal! The Justice asked state legislators within 180 days to amend the state's laws to finally allow gay marriages!"
Speaking of this, Lina showed a look of excitement and excitement: "This matter has caused an uproar. I heard that there have been heated discussions within the High Court and the state legislature. Think about it, if the original judgment is upheld and the law is insisted on amending If we do, Massachusetts will be the first place in the nation to allow gay marriages! God, what an exciting thing this is!"
Seeing Lina who was almost dancing, Angela felt at a loss and didn't know what to say. During this time, she has been busy with her own affairs, doing triangular movements between schools, villas, and temporary studios, and she has no time to focus on other things. So it is understandable that such a big bomb was thrown down and made her dizzy.
"You know," Lina obviously felt that the previous news was not enough, and then threw out a bigger one, "We can have this good situation now, thanks to your "Brokeback Mountain"!"
"Thanks... "Brokeback Mountain"?!" Angela couldn't help covering her forehead.
"Of course, if it weren't for this movie, how could we be so united, and how could the justices of the High Court consider our rights so seriously!" Lina looked enthusiastic, believing that if it wasn't for the library, she would May have jumped on the high stage to give impassioned speeches.
Angela originally wanted to say something: thanks to "Brokeback Mountain"? Don't be kidding, if a movie can easily affect a country's legal system, then political parties all over the world will make movies.
Of course, it can't be said that this movie has no effect. After all, the previous parade in Texas was absolutely inseparable from "Brokeback Mountain" - well, the current parade should also be related, but this influence is just a matter of course. Ten more movies like "Brokeback Mountain" would be useless without the year after year campaign for rights by major gay groups.
It's just that Lina in front of her is so excited, I'm afraid it's useless to say more, so Angela swallowed what she was about to say. It has to be said that Nat's comments about her are quite correct.
"Okay, Lina, I see." Angela raised her hand and pressed it, "I always agree that gays should fight for their rights, but I still have to refuse your invitation."
"Why?" Lina frowned, then stretched it out again. "Well, if you're worried about causing unnecessary arguments, then appear in the parade venue as a bystander?"
"I'm sorry, this- also doesn't work." Angela spread her hand with an apologetic smile, then raised her hand to make a stop before Lina had to persuade: "Actually you understand why, right?"
After staring at Angela for a long time, Lina raised her hands a little disinterestedly: "That's right, to be honest, when I came here, I was just holding one-tenth of a ten thousand."
"I'm sorry." Angela said again, and made a wait gesture after remembering something. She found the checkbook from the small bag she was carrying, wrote and signed her name skillfully, and handed it to Li In front of Na: "Although I can't participate in your parade, it's okay to donate money to show support."
"Wow, $1,000," Lina stuck out her tongue while looking at the check. "You're so generous, Angela. The average teachers' union membership fee is only $600 a year."
"In fact, the charitable foundation under my name donates a lot to gay rights organizations every year." Angela smiled and spread her hands.
"As expected of a rich man, he really has a lot of money." Lina said a few words, and then suddenly held the girl's hands with a sincere expression: "Anyway, thank you for your support, Angela!"
But after a few seconds, she revealed her true identity, staring at Angela with a smile: "Can I kiss you to thank you?"
"Forget it." Angela couldn't help leaning back, and then she remembered what kind of person this eighteen or nineteenth girl was.
At this moment, her heart moved slightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she finally asked: "Lina, can you tell me why you always turn around in my field of vision every time I show up at school? ?"
"You finally thought of asking me?" Lina showed an exaggerated expression, "I thought you would never come and ask me."
"What?" Angela, who had sketched countless possible answers in her mind, suddenly felt dizzy, but Lina's next sentence made her want to vomit blood again.
"Of course I did this because I wanted to pick you up." While answering plausibly, the other party showed a representative shy expression. This huge contrast makes it impossible even if you don't want to faint.
"Bubble with me?" Angela said weakly.
"Of course, although the people I want to soak in, such as the chairman of our club or your roommate, I can throw them all away for you!" Lina vowed to say with a very serious tone, but the corners of her mouth And with a little sly smile.
Without waiting for Angela to respond, she tapped the table lightly: "Okay, that's it. I'm going back."
After standing up, he leaned into Angela's ear and whispered, "Although I know the hope is very slim, I will always work hard with the goal of dating you."
She kissed the girl on the cheek with lightning speed, Lina covered her mouth and snickered and flew out. Angela, who was caught off guard, could only sit in her seat and stare blankly. After a while, she glared fiercely at the guys who were watching the excitement around her. She was about to lower her head and continue reading when she was suddenly stunned.
I don't know when, Natalie was leaning on the bookshelf not far away with her arms folded, and she kept looking at herself with a half-smile expression.
