last hope

SPENCER: isn't it, like, the british word for penny? maybe they'd also figure they were looking for some british dude

KEEGAN: it’d be way too obvious if you were British, though

SPENCER: what about pence? like my name, but vague enough not to be

KEEGAN: better.

SPENCER: help a boy out, you know i didn't graduate high school

SPENCER: only subject i'm decent in is math

KEEGAN: which is ironic considering math is usually the reason people drop out.

SPENCER: the name or the inspirational quote? or both?

KEEGAN: name is bland

SPENCER: can't arrest me if the pigs don't have a name

SPENCER: oh yeah. yeah, sure i got another one

SPENCER: dance like no one is watching

KEEGAN: fair point.

KEEGAN: still bland.

SPENCER: just, you know, the dude

SPENCER: just make sure life doesn't pass you by while you're planning for your future. could die at any moment. and then what did all that planning do for you?

SPENCER: plan for the future, but live as if today is your last day

KEEGAN: that’s a vague alias.

KEEGAN: okay, ghandi

SPENCER: why not? sounds fun. you could spread my alias around if any of them want to have some fun

SPENCER: you're such a drama queen. just live life, kee

KEEGAN: because it seems pointless.

KEEGAN: tf is your alias?

SPENCER: i never said sleep with anyone. use people for what they can give you and then ghost the fuck out of them. doesn't have to be sex. just as long as you can surround yourself with people who bow down at your feet

SPENCER: you're going to get a bad rep and not get into college because you hung out with a friend? sounds far-fetched

KEEGAN: I’m not turning myself into an evil queen of high school idiots.

SPENCER: so use 'em and dump 'em. sounds like a good plan to me

SPENCER: it really does, tho. you do you and fuck everyone else. the sooner you learn that everyone else's opinions on your business doesn't matter, the happier you'll fucking be, babe

KEEGAN: yes because that totally sounds like a great way to spend my senior year; cheating on my boyfriend.

KEEGAN: it is when it could dictate me getting out of this stupid town, though.

SPENCER: bullshit. hot star cheerleader? you must be drowning in friends

SPENCER: people can think what they want, fuck 'em all

KEEGAN: there’s a difference between people wanting to be your friends, wanting to be you, and wanting to fuck you.

SPENCER: friends are supposed to have fun hanging out together. that's what friends do

KEEGAN: I’m going to be brutally honest here. [ typed; deleted ]

KEEGAN: you and I could never just be “friends”. [ typed; deleted ]

KEEGAN: you’re right, but I don’t have a lot of friends.

SPENCER: see was that so hard

KEEGAN: yes actually

SPENCER: admit it, you had fun

KEEGAN: okay fine

KEEGAN: I had fun

SPENCER: i'm taking that as a good then

KEEGAN: it wasn’t bad.

KEEGAN: it was... hm.

SPENCER: a good something, or a bad something?

KEEGAN: so.

SPENCER: it means you should maybe care a little less

[ minutes later ]

KEEGAN: you know what?

KEEGAN: fine
