   todd hasn’t dealt with something so trivial in a long time. though the    delima isn’t a JOKE - it’s almost … a breath of fresh air. a decision that    wasn’t life or death. MUNDANE. how unaware & inconsequential things    were these kids are … whatever petty drama had stirred that night or     before would be nothing soon … ❝ it would be hard to have them make    a plan or whatever … if they keep trying to factor you in. ❞  admitted,    voice smaller than before,  ❝ but if they hate you … or distrust you -  ❞        so maybe it was life or death.  ( but hopefully not for him. )  ❝ it’s really    your choice. either way : it’s a challenge. ❞  there is disappointment to    be discovered in his tone. he wouldn’t - COULDN’T - be as angry as her    peers.  ❝ i just need you to stay completely honest with me, alright ?    if there’s any more lies, now is the time. ❞

   there is no concept more TERRIFYING to you than everyone hating you,    especially now that you have one less brother to defend you through it all.    ( then again, what makes you so sure trevor wouldn’t have hated you for    what you did ? ) ❝ everyone’s gonna be mad at me. ❞ a terrified realisation,    paranoia rising. ❝ they could-- they could do anything ... ❞ the only experience    you have with someone getting revenge is when someone got revenge on    your father, & that sort of left you scarred for life.    ❝ i have to ... i have to tell them to save them.. don’t i ? ❞ the concept is one    that genuinely terrifies you, but you don’t want anyone else to die. you     can’t be the reason people die, they’d be even more mad at you for that.     ❝ okay. there’s not- there’s no more. i mean, there’s things people don’t     know but it’s not- they’re not- it doesn’t- doesn’t AFFECT this. ❞

Smart, he thought. Although, there was something grotesquely funny about picturing the chaos that would come from an incident at the field during halftime. It might just knock over the cheerleaders’ little pyramid routine, which he had to admit would warrant a chuckle from him. “Don’t doubt it. Skateboard accidents – maybe not quite the same, but it leaves its mark.”
