oliver: ghosts could be

oliver: i'm telling you there's one here

lani: we share a cabin and i was there like ten minutes ago

lani: nothing happened??

oliver: ok so i'm pretty sure my cabin is haunted

oliver: i honestly think we need to get it checked

lani: i'd hate to break it to you

Yes, but to be fair it would only be because I’d let you have the win. I’m not incredibly competitive. Busy? Are you sure? There doesn’t appear to be a whole lot of conviction in your voice when you say that. Although, what do I know. I’m no dectitive. I’d just hate for you to think you’d have to lie to me.

Let me win? T-Thanks I guess? Look I’m not lying to you Kieran. Never had a reason too. I’ve been busy and that means I needed some space. I-it’s honestly nothing. We’ll hang out on of these days I promise. 

Awesome. I’m glad you realized all the trouble you put me through with your disastrous little story. Fuck it, let’s go swimming. I’m not wearing a bikini under my clothes, but who cares, right? 

Yeah, it was so much trouble. No one’s going to judge if you swim in the nude and I really don’t mind. It’s just skin and everyone has it. 

I am! Oh, we’re not much different than other artistic person. Like, we’re just passionate about ballet and it’s really everything to me. You wouldn’t have? Well, I’ll just say it now then — you have a really hot bod. 

Oh that’s so wonderful! While I was in highschool a few friends I would catch a few ballet shows at the New York City theatre. It’s always joyful to hear when someone has a passion. Aw. Thank you so much!

Crying helps with the stress. It might make you tired afterwards, but you’ll feel a lot better. Who knew sharpening at eye level was dangerous? But then again, I sprained my ankle by walking, so you never know what’s dangerous or not anymore. I’m Addilyn, it’s nice to meet you.

I think that helps a lot of people, but I don’t like to bottle my emotions up either. I usually do something thrilling to get my mind of situation. Beware, pencils are not your best friend. Truthfully I’m surprised I haven’t sprained anything. Are you okay though? Pleasure to meet you as well.

Aren’t nerds supposed to be really shy and well… not as attractive as you are? It would explain a lot of things, I mean they were friends, maybe they fooled around but then again, my dad is the person who he is so… Oh my God, that is so nerdy. All I know is that Batman is awesome. How do you feel about Batman? 

Depends on the person. I am extrovert while many are introverts within in their own social groups. Thank you. You're not so bad yourself. I highly doubt it. They were good friends, but I doubt if there was a situation he would probably own up to it. Only Batman? That’s cute. There’s something that separates him from comic book heroes. He never gives up on the villain and he always believes that there’s a chance of rehabilitation. Even if they fool him more than once. 

Oh, Lan, sorry! I’m just having a… bad day and i fucking hate the wilderness, I mean come on, cabins, what is this a horro movie. If it’s any consolation, you’d make a pretty pancake? Dios mio, thank you. Once again, sorry about the threats.

Hey, you’re talking to the Queen of apologies so don’t feel the need too. We all of days that aren’t up to par. Just think after this weekend we’ll be back home. Thank you? No, don’t worry about apologizing. Your threats are imitating and come in very handy for you. It’s a good thing. 

It’s weird to be in the same place my dad was when he was my age, hopefully I won’t be as much as an idiot as he was. I mean, come on Travis, getting your thing bitten by a snake? No dice. 

He got his thing? No? What? How is that even possible? Wait, I don’t even want to know. I bet it makes a good story for a few laughs. 

Seriously? Can’t you see my trying to back out. Move faster or become a pancake.

Whoa, Lola, sorry! The last thing I need is for someone to flatten me like a pancake. Your trunk is open and your bag fell from it. I’ll move it and myself out of the way for you. 

Wow… you aren’t just a nerd like my dad told me, you are also really awkward. Like, how sure are you that my dad and your mom didn’t fool around? What kind of comics are you into? Sure, it’s not like I got something better to do.  

I’m the whole nerd package deal. I’m clumsy, awkward, intelligent, talkative and always find myself in the worse situation possible. My thought is that our parents would never decide to commit infidelity... though it would explain a lot of things. That’s a broad question. Do you mean by genre, issue, hero, villain, DC, Marvel, silver, bronze or modern age comics? Sweet!

If I were you, I’d be crying. Sounds like you’ve had to go through more than enough for a year. But I do have a question, how does one almost poke their own eye with their own pencil? Swimming isn’t really my thing, truth be told.

I debated on crying, but I realized that crying won’t get me anywhere. Though a relaxing swim may put my mind on ease. Good question. Being the klutz I am, I was sharpening in it and I brought it up to eye level to get a better look. And then my own flinched and I almost lost an eye. Alright that’s fine. Oh and by the way, I’m Lani. 

Yeah, feel free to give me all the credit you want. Exactly! Like, what’s the fun in something if there isn’t a possibility for consequence? Risks kee life interesting. 

Thanks. It wouldn’t be right just blatantly stealing from others. As the old saying goes you never know before you try. Life is for taking risks and not playing it safe.
