& i promised myself i wouldn't let you complete me

“Yeah, yeah, come on.”

"I'd rather flute than, like, clarinet or saxophone. Apparently I was obsessed with flutes when I was little."

“Yeah, I mean, I was happy and enjoy ed my relationship when I had one.” She shrugged. 

“Then you probably just haven’t found someone you click with,” Cory let out, “I don’t really know how boys work so I’m not the best to talk to about relationships with boys.”

“You’re right, I hope that’s all it is.” She chuckled.

“I definitely wouldn’t say it’s your fault,” Cory let out, “Maybe relationships just aren’t your thing or something.”

Riley nodded. “Gotcha. Was it something they made you do, or did you decide to do it?” She asked. “You’ll figure it out, and I’m still here to help.”

“Yeah, I’ve only been in one relationship. I just don’t have that sort of connection with anyone. I’ve never met a guy that I’m just head over heels for, and I guess that’s my fault, I don’t know.”

“It’s a good stress release,” Cory let out, “I personally like it more with someone I’m in w relationship with, but that’s just me.”

“I’ve never been in a relationship and had sex with that person. The only time I was able to do that, I didn’t feel comfortable with the guy nor did I want to sleep with him.”

"Really?" Cory asked, raising an eyebrow, "It's different. Like, not monumentally different, but it's a different feeling."

"If that'd be easier," Cory nodded.

"I enjoyed it but I only did it for school so it didn't last long," Cory let out, "Yeah, I still have to figure out college, though."

"It's a good stress release," Cory let out, "I personally like it more with someone I'm in w relationship with, but that's just me."

"Yeah! I learned it with recorder and then flute," she nodded, "I'm not sure. I'm gonna take classes if I go to college, though."
