The next part of my reading was a little less exciting, mostly
because Adrian wasn’t really in it. Now that the boys are off to university
they’re going on with their lives with meek attempts to stay in contact, sad
but inevitable. We learn a lot more about Tony now especially through his first
relationship with Veronica. I find their relationship really strange because
there was never really any kind of romance. It seems like they simply paid
attention to each other and found each other attractive enough to kiss every
now and then but there was never any passion. I think Tony knows that because
he mentions how his life is not how literature describes love to be. I don’t
think passion is something from literature I think that it is so real that it
happens to be a reoccurring theme in literature. For someone so intelligent and
well educated, I think he wasted his time with Veronica. I would say he learned
a thing or two but he was just shot down by her like a little bitch and he
barely even got any. I sound like a guy for saying that but come on he’s in
college, he’s not even living.
I think he looks back at this time in his life with a bit of
regret because his days were so structured and it was just the same crap day
after day. He even says so himself he can’t remember much other than Veronica
and studying, which is a bit sad. When I look back at my late teens and early
twenties I hope I have crazy stories and a ton of fun. It’s weird because he
claims to know the value of time yet I feel like he wasted two years of his own
time in a really boring pointless relationship.
I hope the boys reunite soon because from where I left off they
seem to be drifting more and more. I miss the conversations they would have in
high school, especially Adrian’s input. It was kind of sad watching Tony beg of
Adrian’s validation. He doesn’t know how to be subtle and cool.
