We're all stories in the end

Being the younger siblings suck sometimes. No, actually, it sucks most the time. I don’t know. My dad always wanted me to play sports and Reid always made me practice with him, so I just got good at it. It’s fun sometimes, I guess. That’s good. Glad I could help though.

Yeah, it basically sucks a lot. Okay -- just to be clear: lacrosse is the one with the sticks and throwing little balls into goals, right? I hope you'll have more fun with it though. Yeah-- it really helped. So yeah...

Tell me about it. It’s times like this I start to wish I was an only child. It feels like a bunch of guys that are taller than you and stronger than you shoving you around and hitting you with their sticks. But, uh, how have you been? Are you caught up with classes now?

Ah, yes. I know the feeling. It's not like James and Eve make life easier. Why do you even play it? I mean if it's basically like that? Me? I'm fine. And yeah, I'm all back. Thank you, for the notes.

It sounds like something he would watch. The only reason I’ve seen it is because of Reid. Me? Yeah, I’m fine. Just tired of being one of the only ‘good’ freshmen on the lacrosse team and all of the drama happening. 

Yeah, it does. Ah-- yes, that's not really that great. The drama is very tiring. The lacrosse thing probably too, but I have no clue how that must feel. 

Oh, well, I’ve only seen it once. It’s about a future where everyone gets to do whatever they want for twelve hours without getting in trouble in any way. On a much lower level, I’d say it is.

Yeah, I heard what it was about. I think James watched it or something. But it does really feel like that here. Are you okay?

I though the Purge was just a movie, not something we did in real life. This school is getting crazier by the second, I swear.

I've never seen it, but it does sound like an accurate description...

Yeah, I figured freshmen always got treated the worst but never thought it’d be this bad, y’know? Oh, I’m okay. Hasn’t happened in a while. Are you okay? That’s still not right — what they did to you.

Yeah, me neither. I don't know, I guess it will pass soon enough. And same goes for you, byt the way. That it's not right. And I'm fine. Nothing I'm not used to.
