i'll catch you

Dylan: Hey there Sam! There’s a party at my house Sat for Ava’s day. Starts at 3 if you want to come by and rescue me, I mean have cake and pizza. We can even have a congratulatory beer to your new position!

That makes it even more exciting! I bet the team will be so excited to have you as their coach. Are you planning on celebrating it in any way? And does this mean you’ll have a new desk that you get to decorate? 

I’m out for drinks tonight with Puck. Blaine mentioned drinks and a movie night. But nothing major, you know? And yes! I get the big office off the locker rooms now! I assume you’ll help me get it ready for the year?

Dude. You’re awesome. That’s so great, I know that you deserve it more than anyone else does. I’m happy for you! 

Thanks, man! Here’s hoping for a great season.

That’s my Sammy boy!!! I’m so proud of you! See? Even more reason to get me jerseys and cute things so I can support the head coach at every single game and his boys. You see where I’m going with this? Hm?

I don’t see where you’re going. You’re gonna have to help me along.

And point to you knowing the one musical song everyone knows! 

I have always disliked sports, I don’t really like balls being thrown at me and I am just terrible at it. I tripped over the ball in gym class when we played soccer. 

Yeah but I didn’t have to work in a musical theater bar to learn it. 

I am very happy to hear that that Powers That Be at SBHS are NOT, in fact, stupid and blind to what they’ve got right under their noses. Congrats, Sammy – they’ve clearly chosen the best man for the job, and I’m pretty sure this means I owe you a couple of drinks and a movie night in celebration, at the very least.

I will gladly take any and all celebrating.It’s been a few days and I’m still pretty pumped about it. It’s been hard keeping it a secret from the team though.

So, for most of the week, besides keeping Gabe and seeing the girlfriend, I’ve been binge watching Stranger Things and obsessing over it just a little. I never thought that I would actually like this show. I know. I’m late to the party on it, but we can’t all be perfect and I’m stuck on the whole upside down world. I need someone who watches this show to sit and talk with me about it because it’s slowly becoming a problem and I’m almost out of episodes. If anyone wants to come save me from my bubble then feel free. 

Sooooooo what I’m hearing is season 4 watch party when it comes out?

Kenna: You're the best, in case I haven't reminded you lately.

Kenna: Yes it is. Are we watching anything specifically?

Sam: Hey, I owe you one, no big deal that you cash in ;)

Kenna: Thursday sounds perfect. I'm off until Saturday, so that's great.

Kenna: I wouldn't be against a pillow fort.

Okay, so since nobody’s brought it up yet I guess I’ll start the conversation – yes, my birthday is Saturday, no gifts are not expected but are encouraged (gift receipts pls!!), YES I do need a date so, like, if there are any eligible bachelors out there who know how to have a good time… reply with where you’d take me for dinner. 

As for everyone else!! I’m thinking bank Saturday night. Bring money for drinks please!!! 

For sure a birthday girl should never be buying her own drinks. First round on me?

Kenna: Sleep? Lol, I haven't made any plans yet. Been a bit in the dumps. How're you?

I am a musical theatre nerd, not a sports guy and I don’t pay attention when any sports are on. I at least knew it was a touchdown…so point to me?

I’m a sports guy and not a musical theater nerd, but I still know Somewhere Over the Rainbow. But sure, points for knowing the basics.

Yes! Which is awesome! I don’t really know anything about sports but I am sure you will bring the team to make many touchdowns…that’s football right? 

You work in a bar and you’re not even sure about touchdowns? You’re failing me man!

Tomorrow night? Bank?

I’m down. Take your pants off after?

Kenna: Yes. And I did. Because I'm a nice person, obviously but I'm off for a few days now and thank goodness cause I'm so tired.
