[She has to laugh too. She knew that Soeki got into trouble when he was her age, but she'd always figured Oliver was more law-abiding, especially as a teenager.]
Uh, college? Isn't that when you're supposed to like try new shit and find yourself and everything?
[She elbows him lightly, crossing her arms over her chest.]
Dude, you say that like it's a given. I don't exactly have friends back home. I barely have any friends my own age here. I hope it's different for me in college.
College is different. There's a whole campus full of people who are more or less your age, and a lot more freedom to pick and choose than you get in high school.
I hope so too. I'm gonna need like, a huge scholarship. Unless... Do you think the money we make here is good back home? I mean, if we get to go home, will I get to take it with me?

[If they go back at all that would surprise Oliver on its own. Friends, belongings... they don't stand a chance at keeping those at all.]
But you're smart. If you work hard you could probably get scholarships.

There's no way that's happening. My high school hates me.
