❝ yeah, but i belong here more than you    do, that’s for sure. you don’t remember    the last time we saw each other? ❞

❝ well, i did. hang on — dork??     i’m not the dork here. ❞

❝ it’s morning by now, so last night works. wow,     that’s dedication. i don’t think that i could ever     commit to something as permanent as a hair     color. or, if i did, i would change it all the time. ❞     she takes the keys triumphantly, ❝ what sort of     car am i looking for here? so your folks would     be okay if i stayed the night, even though it’s     clearly not like that? wait –– what’s pretty? i’m      confused. cool piano song? ❞ she looks at him     as he sniffles, and turns her attention away and     back to the sidewalk in front of them. she lets     out a laugh at his last remark. ❝ oh, sweetie,     everyone knows who you are. you’re practically     a local celebrity. ❞

❝ okay, but there were like,    three other people in the     store. it wasn’t like i was    disturbing anyone. and     hey, that’s mean! ❞

❝ well, there are these guys, the vlogbrothers, made     up of john and hank green, and they promote edu-     cation and postivity in the world of online video. they     also started vidcon, which is cool. ❞ june nodded     awkwardly. there were about... four people who she     was good at talking to. he wasn’t one of them.  ❝ actually, naming my eldest sister august was an    accident, and may is may’s middle name, and my name    is juniper, but it kind of keeps the theme together.    oh, only child, you’re so lucky. ❞

❝ yeah, yeah... that sounds like a good idea. ❞    his teammates had probably never seen anyone    change faster than noam did in that moment. he    tossed of his jersey pants for a pair of basketball    shorts and threw on one of his t-shirts with his    name on the back of it (certainly not an improvement,    but hey, it was free). he then waltzed into the     dugout club where she was sitting, draped across    a couch. she looked like she belonged there,     in a place where mostly the rich and famous spend    their time. ❝ so, you didn’t answer the question    that i asked you earlier. what can i do for you? ❞

❝ i mean, i don’t think anyone is all bad, but    yeah, i guess that you’re right –– about me    being a dumbass for hanging out with him.    we kind of got stuck together though, in like,    middle school, and when he became this    persona, i couldn’t just ditch him. ❞ aidan    leaned his elbows on her bed, in a half-sitting    up position. he never figured that he’d end    up here. ❝ is it like — a halloween costume?    i’ve seen stuff like it, sexy nurse, etc. did you    see the sexy minion costume that they made?    hilarious. hang on, a d o r a b l e ? ❞

❝ yeah, have you, uh, heard of    nerdfighteria? ❞ way to show    the nerd side, june, loud and    proud. ❝ june, yeah. i’m the    one who has the sisters named    may and august. have you    got any siblings? ❞
