          ‘  YOU’RE  JUST    mad  that  i  kicked  your  ass  at  a  sport  that  i’m  good  at  .  c’mere  ,  jackass  .  kiss  me  .  ’  he  still  holds  the  offending  ball  in  his  hand  ,  flicking  it  into  the  air  only  to  catch  it  absently  .  ‘  seriously  --  kiss  me  !  ’ 

         “    how’d you know?    ”     his voice is deliberately light, like this conversation doesn’t mean much to him at all, but it does.    “   that you like boys?   am i allowed to ask that?   i don’t know if you want to  --  if it’s personal for you.    ”    he hasn’t had a lot of conversations about these things that weren’t tinged with judgement  --  the whys and the hows of the situation.

        ‘  WHEN  YOU  WERE  LONELY    you  needed  a  girl  ,  someone  to  lean  on  --  well  ,  i  understand  .  it’s  only  natural  .  but  why  did  it  have  to  be  me  ?  ’     /    @victrydance    liked. 

           ❛    which one are you?    ❜     cold tone is a sharp contrast to the near affection they had greeted alice with.    they know jake -- how could they not? -- but knowing alice isn’t a good enough reason for them to let their guard down.      ❛    the sporty one -- welcome to oregon.   enjoy your stay.    ❜

              ‘i’m not in love, so don’t forget it.’ and i bloody well am not in love. this is a vair vair teenage thing to do, as some twit said in don’t sweat the small stuff for teens. ‘it’s just a silly phase i’m going through.’ phases last for two and a bit years. that’s normal. ...isn’t it???

          ‘  I  DUNNO  .  THE    guy  seems  like  a  scumbag  to  me  .  ’  a  beat  ,  in  which  he  looks  up  at  jake’s  face  .  ‘  what  ?  i’m  not  allowed  to  have  standards  ?  ’ 

       “    SO YOU’RE INTO SPORTS ?    ”    he tilts his head , all bright - eyed .     “    that’s so nice .    you know , i could never really get into sports for some reason , but they’re cool .    i think that’s cool .    ”

      “yes i look perfect.”
