Shopping makes the soul better. 

So I guess people around here no longer know how to look before they back out of a parking space. Some guy just hit my car and I don’t think he expects to pay for it.

Except we haven’t even introduced ourselves yet! I’m Rosaline. Aw, that sounds like fun. I’ll have to see when I have time.

It really is! I just hope one day something like that can happen for me. Yes it is. Family is the most important thing we have. She sounds like a really amazing woman. I can’t even imagine trying to do all that. I can hardly handle the work I have myself.

Oh, right! I’m Molli. 

Oh… I just don’t have too many friends at the moment so I wouldn’t know who to ask.

It is. We’re both named after characters in Romeo and Juliet since our parents actually met during a production of the play. It’s sort of sweet, isn’t it? Oh! No I didn’t mean that. We’ve always been really close, the two of us and our parents too. She’s really doing an amazing thing, I’m in awe of people who do so much for other people.

Well now you have me, sorta. And if all else fails, you can sit with my completely embarrassing brother.

Oh… I’ll see if I can find anyone else who would want to. Not that they’re uninteresting, just that I don’t know if they like sports. Other than Dean but… I haven’t seen him a while.

True. I don’t remember doing a lot of that though. Juliet has always been so far ahead of me. She had a lot to do. Oh wow, a nurse? That’s amazing. She’s doing so much good for people. Aw, that’s sweet. He sounds great.

Caston’s full of people, I’m sure you can.

It wouldn’t be embarrassing or weird or anything?

Oh… I guess? I mean… I never really thought about it like that. We never did things like that. I uh… I never went to any of my school dances so I guess the opportunity never came up. He sounds like a good brother.

No, it’s totally fine. You can bring a friend or two too, just like going to see a college ball game.

“I’m focused, I’m focused. – I just haven’t been sleeping well due to well.. everything. But anyways, go on? I’m sorry ‘bout that.”

“...You haven’t been sleeping?”

Oooh, good luck! Maybe I’ll see if I can come to a game and support you. If the games are open, that is.

Oh wow, that is a lot older. I don’t know how it’s really different, but I haven’t seen Juliet in a while.

You totally can! They’re open to the public.

That’s amazing! Congrats! It must have been a pretty amazing year. But even that’s pretty cute. I think it could have been both.

Two years older, yes.

It was awesome. I’m hoping we can sweep the board again this year, since it’ll be my last year.

“Ah.. Why don’t you just tell her that you’re with a study group or something? Think up an appropriate lie.”

Because I’m about to graduate - she would also never believe that I was part of a study group - so point is that I shouldn’t have to remind her that I have the homework thing down when it’s quite obvious that I do.

oopsmolli:

I’d love it if someone would explain to my mother that she doesn’t need to call every night and make sure I’m doing homework.

“Tell her something obscene. She’ll stop calling, then.”

She’d never believe it, honestly. Plus, it would just result in her calling my brother and cursing him out in Spanish.

You won an award? Oh! Congratulations! Aw, that sounds sweet. He’s your own personal cheerleader.

She’s twenty-two.

The lacrosse team did. We were the only team that year to win every game. He totally is...or he just wants to embarrass me, either/or.

Ooooh, dress shopping. How fun! I haven’t been in a long time. I bet it was still a lot of fun though. The shopping and the banquet.

It was super fun. Super duper embarrassing ‘cause when the girl’s lacrosse team got presented with their award, the dummy completely embarrassed me, standing on his chair, making stupid noises. But it was all a lot of fun.
