Testing Testing...

Jane: I haven't had a reason to threaten to hurt you yet. Well, I'm glad that I'm slightly intimidating. That certainly helps me.

Jane: How do I not get scared easily by her? Very carefully, I guess. She's not that scary if you know how to stay on her good side.

Jane: You're not insulting my intelligence. I'm just saying that maybe if I actually started attending all my classes instead of skipping out I'd be better.

Jane: Of course I'm a skank. I just didn't realize that's a part of being a skank. No one told me that. Besides, there's no one in this school that I want to kiss. So, no. I'm not sure.

Mason: Oh, well I will try not to give you a reason then. Help you with what if you don't mind me asking.

Mason: It seems I'm always getting on her badside. I still think she's scary either way.

Mason: That's stating the obvious a bit, isn't it? No matter. I doubt you will need help but since I'm your tutor buddy you may use me whenever you need. :)

Mason: Maybe it's not. Just because Brittany does something doesn't mean you do. I feel bad. If you would prefer it, we don't have to kiss. We can just study and be friends :D I'll still get you your sodas. I'm getting Frida pizza and salad and coffee and I share gummy bears with Rachel. So maybe sodas can be our thing?

Rachel: Oh yeah, I haven't been on that site in years! What else are you finding?

Rachel: So... you don't want to sleep with me?

Rachel: Really, really good, Mase! How are you?

Mason: I've discovered "motorboat" and also "making it rain."

Mason: No friend Rachel. You are a lovely and beautiful woman but I'm saving myself for marriage. Hopefully.

Mason: I received a B- on my AP test so that makes me sad, but I was allowed to make the grade up as I always put out A+ effort. I can't retake the test, but I did complete extra credit. :)

Hunter: Something dangerous but it's still controllable in some way. Like paragliding. While I generally agre with the safe than sorry route, I've found that sometimes one needs to take risks now and then. As long as it doesn't hurt anybody. True. You'd have to tell me in person. The horror. She tried. But I know how to properly format text now and things like that.

Hunter: Maybe it is. But I can take care of that possible need in other ways. I have a lot of options after all. Dani loves New York to death. If I end up there I hope it lives up to the expectations I have now. Well, I've always planned to work for the church so it would be a reasonable choice for me.

Hunter: That's a way to put it, yes. She's one of the smartest minds in this school and never really gets into trouble as far as I know. I would call that a nerd. Thank you, that means a lot. I'm looking forward to it too.

Hunter: Like I said, High School would be too early. I mean, I haven't even met the right girl yet so it's a moot point anyway. We're not jews, Mason. We have some restrictions, but generally we cook our meals like everybody else with as many natural ingredients as possible And not as much meat. We don't drink alcohol or coffee. Interesting. And no, I don't. Masturbation is pointless and also a sin. Whatever it will be, make sure you don't end up in jail.

Hunter: It exists to remind us that we're not perfect but we can aspire to be. Easier said than done but I will remind myself of your words. I see. Teaching you how to flirt would probably end up with you having a stroke or something to be honest. That is good to know I guess. Well, I figured the magical reindeers did most of the work not that he was jogging around the globe. I clearly gave that too much thought.

Hunter: Do you want be to harm someone? You found one and now you can unlock the special item and enter the next level. You're always curious.

Mason: That still sounds extremely dangerous. Ironic you say this, friend Hunter. You would not be hurting anyone by being yourself, yet you refuse to be yourself, correct? But then what would the point of texting be? I'm confused, Friend Hunter. I for once have no idea what you're talking about. And I don't believe I wish to know.

Mason: In what other ways are there? Options are often unlimited so you're right there, Hunter. I've never been, but I do hope your expectations are met. ...This still sounds like you are doing something someone else wants you to do, but if that is your goal, then I hope you achieve it. Smiley face.

Mason: Do you not like Santana? So by that logic you think I'm a nerd? Sad face. But this is the hard truth Santana warned me about. Not sad face. You are welcome. I plan to enjoy it so you may receive a hug. Would that be okay?

Mason: But you plan to get married. So is it truly moot? Mormon customs are very interesting. Can you convert even after drinking either beverage? That is where I have to disagree. Masturbation is quite healthy and a common teen experience. Don't knock on the door unless you're willing to open it. I believe that's the saying. Sin is unavoidable. I do not see a reason to attempt. But you have your customs so I shall respect them. I will do my best.

Mason: Have no fear of perfection--you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali. I have faith in you. Ha. So you /do/ know how to do this flirting. He is a large man with a large number of gifts. Eight reindeer and magic can only go so far, Hunter. I believe we both gave this too much thought.

Rachel: Lol, you sound SO cool :P

Rachel: I think shorty might be reserved for someone you want to sleep with. Trying to tell me something? ;)

Mason: Excellent. I will research more words. Did you know there was a whole website for this language? How have I not discovered Urban Dictionary before?

Mason: Oh. Hm. I suppose I will use this term on someone else, then. Thank you for the information.

Santana: Gotta do what you gotta do, Mason. You'll learn that.

Santana: Because you ARE strange?

Santana: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get used to it. ;) The hard truth is a good thing. It'll toughen you up.

Santana: But he's not. He's a jock. No need to apologize.

Mason: Hm. I will store this information for later. YOLO, yes?

Mason: ...oh.

Mason: I would enjoy being tough. Thank you, friend Santana :)

Mason: Right again. But I do think he's quite cool.

Marley: Thank you, that's sweet of you.

Marley: I mean, I know Madi loves me, but I don't know if she loves me enough to follow me miles away just to keep me safe. I don't fault her for that, it's her prerogative, but I don't think I'm loved enough for someone to care that much.

Marley: I wouldn't get annoyed. I think you're someone who is...good to have in one's corner. I want you in my corner.

Marley: I never thought I'd hear you say that not everything is science :)

Marley: Hm, sure. Only because I love Jim and Pam so much.

Mason: I try to be sweet when I can :D

Mason: I'm sure she would. You are her soul sister, so she would follow you anywhere. You are loved, Marley. Um, I guess I could love you if you like? Or is that weird?

Mason: Then I will be in all of your corners, friend Marley!

Frida: Nothing really. Just school stuff. Did you see that Dani is now vice captain? The target on my back just got a lot bigger.

Frida:...why? That’s like bribery. And, how do you know she will even comply to those rules?

Frida: See. I knew you thought about joining an academic gang! But, no you and your friends would go around beating up everyone. Or you could pretend you are like nerd superheroes helping the students at McKinley. They wouldn’t beat you up now that we are friends. I would yell at them with my terrible words. Yeah...a sleepover. That might be fun. Got it! I will do my very best not to. I mean, it still has to get lonely being by yourself. That’s good, but you still need your parents too.

Frida: Well, my parents took me out to eat when I got all those good grades from you tutoring me. So, I think they settle for whatever I give them. You don’t have to follow that. Does Madison follow it? They shouldn’t say mean things to you about grades, though. What kind of rewards? Because I don’t see anything beneficial from doing the work. Ehh, depends on the subject and how much.

Frida:...don't do that.

Mason: Well if it ever becomes too much, do try and talk to me first, okay? Yes, I did! I congratulated her, but...it doesn't sound like you see that as a good thing. Target?

Mason: It is a bet. And one I'm willing to take part in. It will get my sister to take her education seriously even if only for a bit. And maybe I want to be friends with her as well. She'll do it. I told her I would...do things.

Mason: Well I hadn't thought of it until you implanted the idea into my brain. I would like the superhero option, please. Your words are terrible sometimes, so yes thank you for the protection from injuries. I will protect you from bad grades :) Oh it'll be fun! It'll be the most fun you've ever had! No I'm used to it. And I have my phone so it's not that bad. Says who? I've done just fine with them barely around.

Mason: I told you you were smart :D We make a great team, huh? Were your grades really that awful they'd accept B work? It's all I know. Madison doesn't, no, but she used to. My parents just want what's best for me is all. They'd give me money and praise, stuff like that. Doing work equals good grades equals successful life. All benefits. That is true, friend Frida. I don't like Science extra credit much, it's my weakest subject sadly.

Mason: FRIEND RACHEL!

Mason: I HAVE LEARNED NEW SLANG!

Mason: I have not yet seen you, but I am certain you are "on fleek" and you are quite a lovely "shorty" who is literally short!

Santana: Well, I told Sue that this dance had to be amazing, and made up some BS about how her Cheerios needed the night and it was sure to cement their status. I don't know, it was a load of crap. But she ate it up.

Santana: I don't know, Mason. People are strange. That's very sweet, thank you.

Santana: The hard truth is often the best truth, y'know.

Santana: We are people like you. Hunter's not. That's why I'm confused. And no, it's not an insult.

Mason: ...you manipulated her :o Santana! That's so cool! I mean it's horribly inappropriate to do such a thing to a faculty member, but wow!

Mason: People call me strange. What do you think that is? You're welcome, Santana :D

Mason: That it is. And I wish one day to dish out this hard truth. But maybe it could be softer so I don't get hit or anything?

Marley: Thank you, I've been growing it out for a couple of years. I like to keep it shiny.

Marley: I think that's...really sweet. And admirable. You love her. I don't have anyone that cares that much about me, so like, she's lucky.

Marley: I don't know if I'd call you my brother. That isn't to be an ass or anything, I just...get different vibes from you that I don't know how to explain.

Marley: Um, there have been a few times where I swore I was going to do some...stupid things, and she's stopped me.

Marley: I'll take it, I probably would break something really important and then try to stick it back together with Krazy glue.

Marley: The entire cast of Parks and Recreation would be on our team, also, Taylor Swift. And Madi.

Mason: You're welcome and your efforts have proven quite successful, I would say :D

Mason: Well tell that to Madison. I'm kidding, please don't. I do, she's my big sister. You don't? Well, you have Madison, right? And I guess I could maybe care about you like that. Er, maybe not as much because you'd probably get annoyed and not want to be friends with me, but I do care about my friends Marley. :)

Mason: No I don't think you're being...a jerk it's probably just because we're friends. Some things aren't meant to be explained, you know. Not everything is science.

Mason: Well if you ever feel the need to do stupid things, you can add me to the list of people to help you not do it. And I won't judge. If I do by accident, you can totally make fun of me for still sleeping with a nightlight.

I meant, they only noticed I was hungover after it happened. And, now apparently they “care.” But, they didn’t care when Rachel was attacking me or during arguments. I am, but I will stop telling everyone that if it makes you feel better. I don’t care that you are sheltered. What are you doing to fix that issue? Thanks, tell that to the rest of McKinley. Right. That’s what you think. Every time we argue, she just makes me feel bad about myself. I know I can, Mase Base. Are you judging me!? And, I just drank with her, I promise. Thank you. It’s okay, though. I didn’t do anything too crazy. I feel like quitting the squad. I don’t think you have that power. Dani and Kurt are like co-captains or something. So, they control everything now. I guess, and now I know how to deal with it.

Uh, your friends wouldn’t get mad at you if you showed up to school drunk because you were drinking with their mortal enemy? It’s my life, and they are my friends, so I guess they feel like they have a say in some of the things I do. No, I think no one but you goes to the mall for smoothies. Uhh, I meant cute people. Not creepy ones that work at weird smoothie stands. I just go to yell at people, but if you wanted to join, I wouldn’t care. How about you just stick to me, you, and one other person of your choice. I think that would be fine. It’s not like everyone doesn’t know we are friends, Mason.

[PRIVATE]

I’m confused on how they would know beforehand whether or not you had gotten intoxicated without having known you were doing so. Rachel attacked you?! It was not to make me feel better--Frida, I just need to know you are truly okay. I’m quite worried. Well I’m talking to more people. And I believe I may be receiving my first kiss soon, so that’s exciting and life changing. I’m also learning ‘cool speak.’ Speaking of which--no pun intended, do you mind helping me with that? I talked to Rachel and she has taught me ‘YOLO’ as well as ‘you do you.’ I believe Jane may be helping me as well, but they both said you would be more help. If I had access to the intercom and would not receive any repercussions, then yes I would tell the entirely of McKinley High. While that makes me worry, isn’t the point of arguing to make the persons involved feel bad? What do you argue about? Okay I believe you, then. N-no not at all! I don’t judge friends. Do you not enjoy cheering anymore? I don’t think you should quit. Weellll Junior Class President beats co-captains, right? And I could get Santana to help so long as I don’t mention your name of course.

Jane: And I like you much? Wait. You think I'm cool? D'you hit your head or something?

Jane: Brittany? Yeah, she scares me. Sometimes.

Jane: I doubt I'd need a tutor if I attended all my classes every week. But sure. A soda and a free tutor.

Jane: No, of course not. I guess. I mean, I'm not sure.

Mason: Well you haven't threatened to hurt me or anything so I'm assuming you like me a little bit. Yes I think you're cool. You are also slightly intimidating, but I enjoy speaking with you.

Mason: Oh, cool. I mean not cool that she scares you, but the sometimes part. How do you do it?

Mason: Oh no, Jane I meant no insult to your intelligence, I'm very well aware that as we've spoken you are intellectual. Everyone is even if it's only a bit. It's motivation that usually trips everyone up.

Hunter: Controlled danger is fun. I think it would be cheating. But if you think she's not going to do it anyway....I could do that. But you need it, don't you? They're weird. It reminds me of that time Quinn tried to teach me advanced html.

Hunter: I don't think that will happen. Your opinions have been pretty valuable so far. You can't always do or get what you want. Since I joined Glee Club I considered a college with a good musical theater branch but just because I want it doesn't mean I should necessarily pursue it. NYU huh? It's got a good law school. Yes. Hence why going there wouldn't be a bad choice.

Hunter: Exactly. A win- win situation. Physical and mental stimulation. Good then. For a nerd Santana can be kind of scary. Well, I differ between good and bad advice I guess. Then I'll get you something for your birthday. Ditto.

Hunter: Of course I want to get married. But not before I at least graduated High School. If questions pop up feel free to ask. I'll try to answer in a coherent way. Normal? Depends. I mean, something bad like what? Touching yourself? Something tells me I'm definitely make use of that.

Hunter: Living a little would be a sin in this case. Loosen up I get, kind of, but calm down? What were you supposed to calm down about? I forgot his name. In hindsight I realize he might have been flirting with me. I have no idea. Your friends? Your parents? The Santa at the mall?

Hunter: Possibly. Fair enough. Defending myself is alright, yes. No one expects me to just let someone beat me into a pulp. I would still want to avoid harming someone though. I was partly teasing. It depends really.

Mason: What do you mean by controlled danger? Like...control fires? It's better to be safe than sorry. And also without a cellular device until you find time to get another one. I believe taking away my phone would do more good than harm. But how else will you know I'm excited? She taught you html? Did you learn anything useful?

Mason: Well thank you. I try my hardest to help a friend in need :) Not always, no, but sometimes, yes. What reason do you have to not pursue your want? Perhaps your want is a need. I believe that is where Dani is attending. She talks highly of New York. No not a bad choice. For someone else, maybe. Is that the choice for you, though?

Mason: Strong body, strong mind, correct? She's not really a nerd I don't think, but yes she's intimidating. I don't know, you've given me good advice so far so I'm going to say you give good advice. YAY! I can't wait, friend Hunter :)

Mason: I don't know of too many people that get married in high school. Do you not want to wait until college? Hm. What are Mormon meals like? Do you eat kosher? Depends on what? Well I don't touch myself that often. I don't feel the need to as much as others to be perfectly honest. Do you touch yourself? And I'm not sure, just something bad. Not what I usually do.

Mason: I suppose you're correct there. But if we weren't supposed to sin sometimes, then why does sin still exist? This sort of sounds like I'm trying to convince you to sin. Don't sin, friend Hunter. There we go :) Well usually it's when I get worked up so much people tell me to calm down. I don't know how to flirt. Do you think you could teach me that, too? My parents never spanked me, they just yelled a lot. And Santa doesn't exist. It's impossible for a man over the weight limit of 150 to make gift rounds over the course of a night or two.

Santana: It's just a fountain. I doubt it's going to break any budgets. Of course you did. :p

Santana: Most people quite enjoy it. It can be quite sexual though, so I suppose if you're not at all into voyeurism then you wouldn't enjoy it. I haven't picked out my dress yet. I'm going shopping this weekend.

Santana: Exactly. No offense to your Glee club, of course.

Santana: I don't care, I don't want to hear it. No, nothing similar. Now drop it. No, not because he's pretty. I just assume you hang out with people that are like you.

Mason: You'd be surprised. And with how extravagant I hear dances are, every penny counts.

Mason: That still sounds horribly uncomfortable. I'm aware of the "enjoyment" aspect, but why in public. That just seems a tad odd. Going by that reasoning, No. I would not enjoy it not one bit. I'm sure whatever you pick, you will look stunning :D

Mason: I take offense, but no worries it will not break me and it is just...the hard truth.
