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?
