march into the sun

I’m certainly not the greatest person. I don’t think anyone is the greatest person. I’m sure you’re a perfectly fine person. Everyone has good and bad traits. 

I haven’t spoken to my brother in over three months. My brother is my best friend, y’know? My best friend, my role model...and I haven’t spoken to him in three months.

Thank you. I try to be a good person. I don’t see any reason not to. I’m Nelson, by the way. I think we skipped that part.

It’s a pleasure to meet you, Nelson. I’m Juliet, and I, unlike you, am not the greatest person.

Looks can be deceiving, but you certainly don’t look like a serial killer. And I don’t like people picking on other people, whether I know them or not. 

That just means you’re a good person.

Well I think that’s crap. They shouldn’t be allowed to judge you for mistakes. Hey listen, little lady, anyone judges you for something you have no control over, you come to me and I’ll take care of it. Not that you can’t take care of it yourself, but I have a lot to say to a person like that. 

You don’t even know me, though. Why would you protect someone you don’t even know? For all you know, I could actually be a serial killer.

I think as long as you didn’t intend to hurt anyone it should be fine, right? People can’t blame you for making mistakes every once in a while. 

Oh, yes they can. They do it all the time around here.

You didn’t offend me, honey. I was just teasing you back a little. I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m sorry. 

I have a mouth on me sometimes. I don’t really like upsetting people but then I say dumb things.

I can take it. I just thought you should know that it may not be nice, sugar. not everyone can take it. 

I--I didn’t...I didn’t mean to try and offend anyone. I apologize. 

Hey now, little lady. That’s not very nice.  

What? Can’t take a little bit of teasing?

Oh, now I can’t get down with it if they don’t have good music. If I’m going to boogie on camera I’m going to have to have the right tunes. 

Well, I hear there’s a mighty fine discotheque going on this weekend. That’d be a good place for you to boogie.

Does anyone know about this musical.ly business? I’ve heard all about it but I’m a smidge afraid I’ll get addicted…

I personally don’t think it’s as fun as everyone makes it out to be. But then I stop and realize that the music they put on there is shit.

“Thar’s a long run of something, you must take really good care of it. It must be really special to you.”

She gave a slight nod. “My dad gave it to my mom.”

“If you say so,” he watched her for a moment, a small smile falling on his lips. “Sometimes– change is good. How long have you had the necklace?”

“I’ve had it since I was seven. So nearly ten years with this sucker. Like I said, I’m not surprised that it broke.”
