don't be a child;

Then maybe you shouldn't go in there. Just a suggestion.

…I can’t wait to see how you end up a few months from now. It’s nice to meet you too. 

What makes you think something will happen to me  in a few months?

Well now you know a girl named Bradley Jules and you can tell your friends that forced you here that they’re lame and you’re not.

Actually, this was semi-my fault. I came up with the idea that the loser had to sign up for the show. I should've just bet something else.

Yeah, I know how you meant it. I was just fucking with you. Mm, that means it’ll hurt worse when it happens to you….Anyway, I’m Madison. I don’t think we properly introduced ourselves yet. 

If it happens. I'm Derek, and we haven't. It's nice to finally meet you Madison.

Oh don’t worry about that, I’ve mastered it.

Isn't that bad?

I’ve met some pretty awesome people so far. I mean some of them are just here for the fame but some of them, they’ve been through a lot on this show and they’re pretty damn real. And then there’s you, you don’t even want to be here but you are and to me that’s pretty damn rad, Derek, my friend.

Well that's pretty cool I guess. I've just heard bad things about this show so far so I just don't really know. Well actually, I was put here after I lost a bet. 

Yes, it is that bad. Most of the shit that goes on around here is more sad than dramatic, but people do find pleasure in watching other people suffer and calling it drama. Well than you should try watching the past seasons—You think this was the worst decision of your life? That will definitely confirm it.  You’re sure you’ll be what? Fine? I wouldn’t bet on it. Everyone’s had the life kicked out of them by this show at least once. Aw, taking a risk on me? Cute. I feel like I’ve put all these shitty thoughts in your head. Overall everyone’s nice, and this’ll definitely be an experience. Not everything’s bad, but not everything’s good and you’ll probably get your heart ripped out and run over at least once, but it may be for the better. 

Well that's probably the number one reason why I don't watch these shows; they exploit people for viewers entertainment. I'd rather not. Well if I stay as under the radar as I have been so far  I'm sure I'll be fine.  Plus I'm not really one to be in the in crowd anyways. I didn't mean it like that, I meant it more like you seem cool. Yeah, no shit. Well I don't give my heart out to just anyone anyways. 

Derek. Pleasures all mine. Oh I guess I’m just here to meet rad people like you, make friends.

But isn't a reality show probably the last place you'd look for rad friends?

Looks like I just failed at making you feel better.

Eh 'ts cool, I've had a few people talk to me about this place so it's cool. But ditto to you, sorry about the whole 'giving-up-on-life' thing you got going on.

No biggie. I’m Brad, by the way. Bradley Jules.

'm Derek Morris. Pleasure. So Jules, what brings you into this shit show?

Come on, it’s not that bad.

I just heard it's dramatic, and that's enough for me. 

Because you're here and     I thought I had seen the last of you.

I gave up a long time ago and just decided my life was one big mistake so.

Oh uh— sorry?

More people, more hook-ups, more feelings…people losing it. Well yeah, a lot of days are normal compared to the shit that goes down here. Have you ever actually watched the show? It may seem staged, but I swear to you all of that shit has actually happened. Mm, I want to say you’ll be fine, but I can’t really promise that. Lucy and Marissa aren’t diva-y, they just have a lot of shit going on and people like to pick at it. I’m definitely not a diva, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ve gotten myself into a bit of drama unknowingly.  

Sounds like your usual dramatic reality show. Is it really that bad? No, like I said before, I'm not one to really watch shit like this. I'm sure I will be somehow. Yeah I got that, I'll try and steer clear of getting involved with them. Eh, I'll take the risk.

I know right, black shirt with brown shoes? No I’m just kidding, you look great.

I wasn't— Oh, well, thanks I guess.
