In fact, now I definitely will come. 

Good, let me know when you do come. 

I don’t know about sticking to sides…I don’t believe in all that, really. As long as nobody bothers me why should I bother anybody, you know? I think it’s all blown out or proportion. But I guess most of my friends are on “my side,” as you worded it. 

I agree one hundred percent I really don't think it should matter as much as it does. But gotta oblige with what other people want, if they don't want to talk to me or see me, so be it. You should come on over sometime, most of us are pretty decent as long as you aren't an ass to us or our friends, but you don't seem like the type to do that. 

Better late than never.  Do you have your stick with you?  These are drunk Soc girls.  Much worse than the average sober ones.

Sorry, got a bit busy and lost track of time. Yep, I'm sure I can handle myself, no worries. Quite a party you have going on. Anyone I'd be familiar with here?

How about you?

Good, I'm Axel. Good to meet you. I don't think I've seen you around before, you new to town or just not come to my side much?

Her parties are always the best. Of course they're mandatory. Are you wasted? 

Well at least I'm not the only one. What's your name?

My mother would have an aneurysm with that headline.  {Hailey laughed.}  So party, it’s at 6 o’clock on Friday.  You’d better come.  I’m making it mandatory for you.

I can imagine. Well someone's got some major sass going on. I'll definitely be there can't wait. 

I could defiantly see it- soc girl gone stripper- so you. Kidding. I one hundred percent understand not wanting to make any major decisions until you actually have to. I don't really know know her, I've heard of her but not really talked to her, but sure I'm always up for a party. What time? 

It’s been a dream of mine for years to dance in New York so who knows maybe I will live there one day.  Lots of things have changed though.  I’ll just go with the simple answer though it’ll sound ridiculous.  I fell in love.  Not only with a boy but with life when I’m with him.  Like maybe I don’t have to have the big city and big life to be happy, ya know.

I think you could make it in New York if you really wanted to. If you fell in love with both him and what life's like with him I'd say never let him go. It's amazing what you can learn about yourself when you're in love. If you're happy here with Cain don't leave-I'm sure you could find somewhere to dance if that's still what you want.

Well, hate to break it to you but I’m only 17.  I haven’t graduated yet.  I’m mature beyond my years.  So officially stuck here for a little longer.  But I don’t know.  I was with you.  Always thought I would be moving to New York and never looking back.  But in the past few months, things have changed and I’d be willing to change my plans to be a Tulsa girl if I needed to.

Really? You seem so much older. Sucks that you're stuck here until you graduate. I think you could make it in New York, but I undertand why you would want to stay since things have changed. What all has changed that would make you want to stay here?

Yeah it seems like I'm never going to get out of here no matter how badly I want to sometimes. I'd think of you as the person who would leave and never return for good, just to visit old friends. It surprises me that you never left after graduation.
