Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
June 23, 2006
Felicity never called.
She didn't call to reciprocate the gesture and give him her phone number. She didn't call to claim her red wine apology. She didn't even call to make sure that he didn't go back to his apartment, fall into a drunken slumber, and choke to death on his own vomit.
And, at first, the fact that Felicity failed to call him didn't bother Oliver. It was the end of the semester, which meant that there were more parties to attend than hours in the night to do so. He found other girls to pick up, other girls to make out with, other girls to sleep with, and other girls to sneak out on the morning after. However, much to Oliver's dismay, even though his life went back to exactly the way it was before Felicity Smoak entered the picture, nothing felt the same after he met her. The parties weren't as fun, the chase wasn't as exciting, and the girls weren't as tempting. Oh, he still had sex with them, but Oliver found that, while he was inside of his conquests, they all shared only one face - one delicate, pink-lipped, blue-eyed face.
It was maddening... as was the fact that, unlike his current inability to forget his Red Pen Girl, she had no problem moving past their meeting, and, if there was anything that could get under Oliver's skin, it was being ignored.
