always a winner

“I gotta say, the drive home from jail and the lecture about how you ‘disrespected authority’ from your stepmom might be actually worse than being thrown in jail. Not my worst Halloween ever..but for sure bottom three.”

“Don’t really know what to say but thanks for letting me have the room to myself for a few days.”

“I didn’t ask for your help okay! I can handle this.”

“You sure? Because it doesn’t seem like it.”

I will never appreciate mushiness. Never. Hmm uh stupid: making out with the guy you’re in love with’s brother. That’s the definition.

I think you will someday. Wait you’re in love with Adam? Damn. Does Drew know this?

“Whatever helps you sleep better at night dude. Just because you’re smart on paper doesn’t make you as gifted as you think you are. But I love the gloat you just tried to do there. Drama boy? Wow, creative, but still needs some work.”

“Actually it does, dumbass. I’m street smart, book smart and smart when it comes to athletics. All you do is whine and write plays.”

Honestly, I’m surprised you didn’t show.

Why do you say that?

Well, men are fucking fools, then. Either say what you feel or leave us alone. Oh, speaking of having fun… I may have done something… stupid. And ew, don’t get mushy on me, please.

Well I don’t disagree with you there. Hey, I’m never mushy so just appreciate it while you still get it. And alright.. define stupid.

Yeah, me too. I don’t think I could handle jail. 

I’m sure I could probably handle it. I just hope I don’t ever have to get to that point.

I’m not suppose to be getting in trouble right now, but you know what? I’m always down for it. Got anything in mind?

Now that’s what I like to hear, bro. Well what’re you in the mood for? We can always keep it low key if you’re trying to stay out of trouble for whatever reason.

“Oh, Guthrie, you’re really wounding me here. I may just cry myself to sleep now. Could say that same to you, what are you, a fucking Justin bieber wannabe? My list is quite long actually, should I start in alphabetical order? - oh, sorry. Is that word too big for you?”

“I’m actually the taller, more attractive version of Bieber but thanks for noticing. Are you fucking serious? I was in all advanced classes throughout high school and in many different gifted programs and I’m majoring in Physical Therapy where I have to take a shit ton of difficult courses to pass. If you’re really trying to imply that I’m stupid, I’d get all your facts straight first, drama boy.”

Well, he never told me anything. He just said something like “I need to figure out my feelings” but I didn’t think that meant “I’m gonna date some other girls, see if there’s any one better out there.” I’m not gonna sit around and be made to look the idiot.

Guys are literally the worst at expressing their feelings. I mean, we can do it but it takes a bit of time and honestly we’d rather do anything else. But you’re definitely not an idiot and I say just continue to have fun doing what you want and if he comes to his senses and you still want to give things another try then go for it. If you realize you’re better off without him, that’s fine too. I just want you to be happy, Bee.

I really shouldn’t be drinking. Parties are fine for a pop in, but it doesn’t take long for a Greek life party to go from tolerable to sloppy and dangerous.

I guess that makes sense. So did you do anything else once you left?

Yeah. My weekend was pretty wonderful. Did you have a good weekend?

It wasn’t too bad. What did you do that made it so wonderful?

It was a pretty good party till the end. Did you heard about the cops coming?

I did. I’m so glad I missed that part at least.

No. I mean, we were something, or on our way to being something. And then I heard he went on a date with Michaela. So add that to him just dropping me off after the Halloween party and I think things have been made clear.

Maybe he likes the both of you then and he’s just confused? I don’t really know the guy so I can’t say for sure but he’d be an idiot to just let you go like that.

“Pretty sure I can say that actually. What the fuck do you think I do? Live under a rock?”

“More like too much guy-liner and I’m sure the amount of hair that covers your face doesn’t help with that either. Ever heard of a haircut? And besides Clare, who else actually cares about you?”

That’s a good point. I didn’t wanna put you on the spot like that, but if this happens again I’ll definitely call you first. It really does sound kinda fun.

It would be like the good old days. We haven’t gotten into some trouble together in awhile actually.

Um, what?
