Kellan:You mean of the handjob I gave you?

Max:Well, that too. But mostly just you.

Kellan:Oh.

Max:Is that a good oh or a bad oh?

Kellan:It’s a surprised oh.

Max:You don’t think I think of you?

Kellan:If I didn’t before, I do now.

Max:For what it’s worth, I’ve never had a better handjob.

Kellan:For what it’s worth, I’ve never given a better one.

That makes me laugh.

Max:Why don’t you come over?

Kellan:That’s not a good idea.

Max:Please don’t make this weird about what happened. It’s done, and if you’d let me, I’d like to return the favor sometime.

Kellan:I have a lot of work to do. Plus I need to work on my video game.

Max:You could work on it over here.

Kellan:I think we both know if I come over work is the last thing that’s going to get done.

Max:You’re probably right. Or I could go over there?

Kellan:Max.

Max:Kellan.

Kellan:I have to go.

Max:You can’t hide forever.

Kellan:I can try.

Max:How was your day?

Kellan:Why can’t you just ask me at practice this afternoon?

Max:Because you’ve been avoiding me and acting like I don’t exist.

Kellan:I wouldn’t say avoiding. But I’m defense and you’re offense and we aren’t even on the same part of the field. When would we talk?

Max:That’s a weak excuse.

Kellan:How was your day?

Max:It was all right. Kind of meh, to be honest. Having trouble with a programming project. It’s just tedious, that’s all.

Kellan:Anything I can do to help?
