material girl !

How much more could he alienate himself? After he lost Tommy, Carol, Vicky, and everybody else, the only person he really had left was Nancy. He never even noticed how Nancy was distancing herself from him. And now she was gone ; getting into Jonathan’s car after admitting she didn’t love him.  ( Shit. )  He’s really backed himself into a corner this time. He’s totally alone. No friends, no girlfriend – just him. But, somehow, he was still pushing people even further.

And, sometimes, he thinks about what things would be like if he was still  ‘ King Steve ’  . Maybe it wouldn’t have felt so shitty when this new kid showed up and kicked him down the social ladder. Maybe losing Nancy wouldn’t have hurt this much. Maybe he’s still have friends. He’d still be an asshole, though, wouldn’t he? He doesn’t know if it’s worth that.

Vicky’s words dig into him. In a way, she’s right. He made the decision to stop being friends with them and he’s the one that pushed away. At the surface, it really is his fault, isn’t it? That’s what he thinks at least.  ( It’s what he knows, whether he admits it all the time or not. )  So his brow furrows and he shakes his head looking away briefly. His upcoming words are sharp and an almost desperate attempt to win this argument  –  ( immature )  – but maybe he should just leave already.

      “ – You guys didn’t like Nancy, I get that. But that’s             your problem.

                                    You didn’t have to be such assholes to her. ”

Chillin like a villain is so damn catchy

I’ll admit that I, too, have jammed to that soundtrack
