So I successfully attended three days of school, in a row. I think I deserve a round of applause and a beer.

[blehblake]

You really should. He might feel the same. —S-Someone else? No. I.. Well, I don't know.

No- not a point now anyways. Do you like someone else?

[blehblake]

Uh, yea. Are we gonna set down some rules for this year? Sorry, just wondering. 

You need to talk to me?

[blehblake]

So, I missed the party. I think I slept through the whole thing. How was it? Any drama I should know about?

[blehblake]

Uh, I guess as good as they can be. How has moving back in after summer been?

"So far so good. What about you?"

[blehblake]

Have you told him how you feel? And, honestly, I'm not sure. Everything's really complicated.

Terrible, he’s crushing on this other girl. Are things okay with Stella or?

[blehblake]

Of course, why wouldn't everything be okay?

Is everything okay, Blake? [frowns worried]

[blehblake]

Drinking.. Yea, okay. I'll be there. Everything alright? I have this bad vibe that somethings not okay.

You should be there and you should drink with me Blake.  A party is exactly what I need.

[blehblake]

I'm sorryyyy. I'll see you in other classes probably. —Yea but maybe it'll be good for me. A ton of work could keep my mind off things.. 

No, now I’ll be ALL alone. [Smirks] It are some pretty hard electives you chose though… [opens a new box]

[blehblake]

Not sure that'd be the best idea but if it's a party I'll probably be there.

So, who’s going to my brother’s party?

[blehblake]

Woah, I am not a douche bag. Am I? Nope. No way. 

Stella keeps secrets. I think because she can use them as blackmail. You'd never do that right? Secrets hurt people.

Alright, don’t be a douche bag, Blake.

Yeah, I know that. Trust me, I learned that the hard way. I don’t tell secrets anymore. Well, I try not to, anyways.

[blehblake]

Sure 'bout that? Because I don't think you are in any place to tell me what I want or don't want.

You don’t want to make an enemy out of me, Chump.

[blehblake]

Right. 

Ah, crap no. Philosophy and sociology. 

Yeah, no secrets, right?

Cinematography and journalism. Please tell me you picked one of those too…

[blehblake]

Yea, yea. Hey, how are things with that Everett kid? Still crushing?

You’re like a brother to me, I’d never be afraid to compliment you.

[blehblake]

I know I am. The very best in all the land.

Secrets.. They never stay secrets Sydney. You should know that.  

Thanks, Blake. You’re the best. Oh, I wont tell anyone that you were a decent person and actually got me a towel, okay? I’ll keep that a secret.

[blehblake]

Fuck—

I'm not your bitch but [throws towel] your welcome.

Fine, then don’t get me one, you jerk!

[blehblake]

Tea.. I don't know what to say to you. I have so much going on in my head and I don't know how to get any of it out.. I think I need a break. Just a day or two. Seeing you after all this talking would make me regret going back to Stella. I can't... I can't touch you and be forced to stop. I'm sorry, Tea. This wasn't a mistake but waking up tomorrow is going to be one of the hardest things for me to do knowing you aren't gonna be laying next to me. I'm sorry, We can never talk about this again.

I know, Blake, I know— and I’ve grown fonder towards Max as well. But at least you can tell yourself that in spite of her attitude, a part of her loves you too. I mean, how could she not admire a man with your traits, with such pride. Even if we’re back to the very start, I’m grateful for your honesty. For once in my entire years at Lancaster, I could feel happinest at its finest meaning, greatest effects. Don’t ruin what you’ve built with Stella for me Blake, because as much as your mind seems to consider, I’m not worth it. You have a story with her, and it’d be a shame to throw it all away because your heart is torn. I’ll still offer you those innocent freshman smirks, and hopefully you’ll flash them towards my way as well throughout the season. I’m not, and you’re the first person I even told so. Keep it to yourself, at least for now, please Blake. I already have so much to deal with right now. You deserve to know, that’s how much you matter to me. Don’t let me go Blake, not that soon. It’s a relief to feel your arms around my back.
