she hesitates, and then a humored smile begins to pull at the corners of her lips. ‘good point. you know, you’re smarter than you look.’

❝ excuse me ?? did you just say i look stupid ?? that’s fucking rude !! ❞

‘i’m supposed to be in anaheim in 40 minutes, but you couldn’t pay me to put these down.                                —want some?’

❝ normally i would jump at the offer of free food, but i’m a bit scared you might bite my hand off or something, so you can keep ‘em. thanks for the offer, though !! ❞

“i couldn’t think my idea of fun is any different from yours, but we could test the theory and make sure they match. it’s LA, there has to be something to do regardless of the day. right, and we’ll find it.”

❝ exactly. hmm, let’s see, ❞ he pulls out his phone, opening up google and typing in a few words, ❝ do you wanna go clubbing ?? ‘cause i found a few places open, but we can do something else if you want, too. ❞

“hey, i don’t know, as far as i’m concerned, you could be the biggest bore out there. that’s where you come in and prove me wrong with a good time on a wednesday night. that probably is where we’ve still got some doubt.”

❝ i’ve been called a lot of things, but never a bore. i’m the polar opposite of a bore. unless you’ve got a fucked up idea of fun, that’d be awkward. i’m sure we can find something to do, despite it being wednesday !! there’s gotta be some club or hotspot open on weekdays, right ?? ❞

“i mean the third time, if you count my grandparents and instructor, but other than that, yeah !! i guess you could say it’s somewhere along the line !! alright so, if i’ll be your genie for a minute and grant you that one wish by simply asking you for a picture —for the first time—, what will i get in return ??”

❝ of course they count, why wouldn’t they ?? isn’t it obvious ?? you get a prime seflie with yours truly !! that’s a rare and valuable gift, if i do say so myself. especially if it’s with a snapchat filter. i look real cute with those, and i bet you do, too. ❞

“someone stopped me for a picture today !! but to be honest, i still don’t know how to feel about it.” 

❝ was that the first time anyone’s done that ?? ‘cause that’s gotta be such a cool feeling for you !!  i wish i could remember the very first time i was asked for a picture. ❞

“that’s what i’m thinking too – honestly, i might have to do a friend sweep and weed out all the ones who are saying no to going out tonight because that’s unacceptable. yeah? i’d be down as long as you can promise a good time.”

❝ as long as i can— wow. im almost offended you’d even consider that i’m not a good time !! i’m like, the most fun person to be around, probably.  ❞

“ no but serious dance off is one of the best songs to come out this year, just fucking listen to it, f e e l  it. man i think it’s touched my soul.”

❝ i’ve never even heard of it.. who’s it by ?? did it just come out ?? damn, that sounds like an intense experience. ❞

“what does a girl need to do to bribe her friends to turn up with her on a wednesday night? asking for a friend.”

❝ sounds like your friends are pretty lame if you have to bribe them to turn up. i’m not doin’ anything tonight if you—or, your so-called friend—wants to go out and do something. ❞
