My grades my looks my jobs my partners everything dead-center in the median of ordinary. Most of us are like that at least thats what Alex says.Oh Alex? Hes my best friend.Hes attractive and cool and mysterious and says things that Ive thought better than I could ever say them. See Ive always known my mediocrity and was trying to be okay with it.
