snap out of it.

Yes, it does. Not always! Just…sometimes..more often than not. Hmmm..fine, I’ll accept it this time. Okay, yeah, true, but sometimes guys wanna experiment. I think you two should experiment on each other. 

No, it doesn't. Come on, just admit to it. You have a rather fifthly mind, Easter. How gross. I can't speak for Chris, but I'm definitely not bicurious. Besides, I wouldn't want to experiment anything with him. You're the one that wanted to, remember? 

Yeah, I’m kind of surprised, too. Your guessing game is usually so on point. I never notice that I do that. Maybe it’s just a habit I could never completely get rid of. Oh, dude, c’mon! That would be so embarrassing! I don’t think I’d have sex ever again if that’s what I shouted in bed. Fuck, I probably wouldn’t be able to face the girl afterwards either.

If I were to guess, I probably would've assumed you'd be with Serena or something. Probably not. I'm sure I always find a way to relate a topic to a thing I really like, too, so don't feel bad. I think people do that often. Oh, plase. You know you'd have sex again. That'd be hilarious if you did, honestly. I wouldn't be shocked. 

Yeah, man, this weekend works for me. How about on, uh, Saturday?

Saturday is fine. I'll text you, or you could text me, or whatever. We'll figure it out.

I’m not going to lie. Kind of dumb. 

You shouldn't feel that way, though! Yeah, you were wrong, but what you were wrong about isn't a bad thing. The realization was sort of a self esteem booster, don't you think?

"Holy fuck. I look sexy as hell in this beanie. This calls for a blessed mefie."

What's a mefie? Is that like a selfie? 

Pretty much, yeah. Dude, I’m not going to bring up basketball when I’m about to have sex. I’m not that much of a dumbass. You’d think I’m so obsessed with basketball that if I came, I’d shout ‘ball is life’ instead of her name or something. Damn, could you imagine how shitty that would be? [He laughs] Don’t worry, I don’t think I know what I’m saying anymore either.

I'm surprised it took me this long to find out she was the girl you've been talking about. I don't know, you seem to bring up basketball whenever you can no matter the situation. Oh, my god. If you did, and I found out about it, I'd never let that go. I can totally see you doing something like that.

I’ll need time to find the perfect fit, anyways, so it works out. Me and you chilling sounds like a get together to me, doesn’t it? Ah, man, I don’t know. I don’t have a job right now so I’m pretty much available whenever I’m not in class. 

Right. You'll have enough time to have it tailored and everything. Sounds like a get together to me, yeah. We should do it sometime this upcoming weekend when neither of us have to worry about school the next morning. 

I don’t know. I thought I kind of was, but apparently I was wrong.

Well, how does it feel to be wrong about yourself? 

Thanks, bro! I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll end up with Serenity at the end of the night, but we’ll see what happens. Yeah, yeah, whatever. I’ll keep myself in check.

Serenity? That's the girl you've been--for a lack of better words--fucking? Christ. Please remember to not go on about it. I know you can get carried away sometimes. If it puts me to sleep, it could surely do the same to her. But, then again, you know her better than I do. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. 

Because I am. I didn’t even know that people knew my name.

Of course people know who you are. You're not invisible, Ava. 

I should go tux shopping as soon as possible, then. On occasion? Would you consider hanging out with me—your fellow bro—an occasion? Listen, I can just get a six pack or whatever and we can chill at that place that I mentioned before.

You have a while to browse. By occasion, I mean parties or other types of get togethers. Saying 'occasion' makes me sound like I have more control over myself, I think. But, yeah; I'd be down for that. Just name the time.

Wait, did they just say my name? For princess? No. That has to be wrong, right? That’s wrong. But did they? I’m so confused.

How come you seem so shocked? 

King Christopher Woods has a nice ring to it. Hm, what’s my first order of business? I think I’ll go with making basketball a mandatory priority in everybody’s life. You’re welcome.

Congratulations on winning! Are you going to ride solo or are you going to choose a nice girl to share the evening with? If you do, just make sure you don't bring up basketball too much. 

Sweet! I better be a groomsman. Any excuse to wear a tux and I’m down. Oh, alright, that’s fine. Do you drink? You’ve always been kind of straightedge, huh? 

If Chris agrees, then you can definitely be one. I do like having a few drinks on occasion, yeah. I suppose you could say that. I've never really been much of a rebel or anything. 

Eccentric sounds kind of sexual, though, don’t you think? Still not seeing how you calling my name weird as a compliment seeing as you’re always so mean to be, but okay. I’m not gross, I’m hopeful.

No, it doesn't. Your mind always seems to wander to sex. I pinky swear that I'm not trying to be mean to you this time. Chris is, like, the epitome of a straight white boy.
