Project X follows three boys - Matthew, Morgan and Cory - through university and then to hell and back. May I present an interview with the trio of...friends.
Question: So tell me, Matthew. You didn’t have the best impression of Morgan at first. What led you to that?
Matthew: (gives a nervous glance to Morgan, who shrugs) Um. Well. The first time we met was when me and Cory were visiting the university for the first time. To be honest, I didn’t really want to go there. I thought the place would be full of snobs. Then I saw Morgan with these three nobs, complaining about the gravel ruining their designer shoes, and I thought they were pretty much the worst people I could hope to meet.
Cory: It didn’t help that Morgan had this gorgeous, shiny, sports car, and parked it next to our piece of crap.
Matthew: Hey, don’t talk about Ellie like that.
Question: Ellie?
Matthew: That’s what we called the car.
Question: Why Ellie?
Cory: Because it looked like a herd of elephants had gone over it.
(Morgan sniggers)
Matthew: It’s alright for you! We saved up for almost a year to afford that car. It was our most prized possession, and the way you looked at it on that day made me want to smash your face in.
Morgan: Glad you didn’t try. I would have hated scuffing my shoes.
Matthew: See? That’s one of the reasons I thought he was a complete bastard.
Question: Because of his shoes?
Matthew: No, because he’s a sarcastic son of a bitch.
Morgan: Guilty as charged.
Question: What about you, Cory? What did you think about Morgan?
Cory: (looks uncomfortable) I kind of knew from the very first day that he liked Matthew. There was just something in the look he gave him. Then I watched them. Matthew kept saying what a bastard Morgan was, but he kind of lit up whenever Morgan was in the room. He said he hated the way everyone ran around Morgan, and he would never do it himself, but he never took his eyes off him. By the middle of the first year I knew they were falling for each other, hard.
Matthew: Now, hang on a minute. I SO did not fall for Morgan in the first year. It wasn’t until he started acting like, well, kind of a human being I started having feelings for him.
Morgan: And I certainly wasn’t falling for Matthew. I wanted him, but I wasn’t falling for him. Until then, I got whoever I wanted. I was looking for someone with some brains in their head and a real personality. And yes, I wanted someone who would piss my father off, but I wasn’t falling for him.
Cory: They were crazy about each other.
Morgan and Matthew That’s not true.
Cory: Whatever.
Question: How did you feel about that, Cory?
Cory: (flashes a quick, sad glance at Matthew) Terrible. The worst thing was, I knew I couldn’t stop it. Matthew was always adamant he wasn’t gay. He told me that if he ever thought he might be, or was just…curious, he’d come to me first. (Flashes another look) It isn’t that I was pissed he didn’t come to me first, it was just…. I’ve had a crush on Matthew since I was about eight years old. It was okay when I thought he was straight. I couldn’t have him. End of. It wasn’t about me. Then, when I saw him start to fall for Morgan, and he was so blind about it, I started to wonder. Maybe, if he was gay, I’d have a chance. If he was looking at Morgan like that I might be able to make him look at me like that.
Question: Did you do anything about it? Anything to try to make Matthew look at you like that?
Cory: (shakes his head) No
Question: Why not?
Cory: It was already too late. He was already in love with Morgan. He didn’t have eyes for anyone else.
Matthew: I was not in love with Morgan. I was never in love with Morgan.
Morgan: Really? It kind of felt like that to me by the end. I mean…you did say it.
Matthew: (blushes) That was different. Of course I was in love with you by the end. We’d been through so much.
Morgan: Yeah.
Question: Do you want to tell us a bit about what happened?
Matthew and Morgan: No
Question: Is it too hard to talk about.
Morgan: Well, it’s not easy, but the main reason is that if we talk about it and give away too much of the plot and no one will read our book.
Question: Ah yes, the book. Project X. What do you have to say about that?
Matthew: I think it’s pretty good. It tells the story well, but if you ask me, it shows Morgan in too good a light, especially at the beginning. It just doesn’t show what a complete and utter bastard he was.
Morgan: I beg to differ. The very first line is ‘Morgan Bentley is a bastard’ You can’t really get clearer than that. Besides, I never was that much of a bastard. Not really. I had my own issues. And I did try to be friendly.
Matthew: That’s your interpretation of ‘friendly’ is it?
Morgan: (with the sexiest smirk ever) What can I say. I guess I am a bit of a sarcastic bastard, but I’m a very sexy one.
Matthew: I can’t argue with that, and to be fair, I never said you weren’t sexy.
Morgan: True.
Question: So, back to the book.
Morgan: Sure, but just so we don’t give away too much, let’s just leave it to the general promo huh? If you want to get to know us better and hear our crazy story, you’ll just have to read the book. It’s worth it, I promise, if only to find out how devastatingly gorgeous I am.
Matthew: And I can’t even argue about that.
