PennyWise:She’s not wrong
MayDay:I knew it!!!!
PennyWise:Ugh. That was too much. I’m sorry. He’s your brother. I shouldn’t be talking to you two about this
JuneBug:Don’t you dare! You’re our bestie. Of course you talk about it to us. We’ll just mentally put someone else’s face on his while discussing.
MayDay:I vote Killian James
JuneBug:Ooh! Good one!
MayDay:He’s so hot and moody. Like liquid sex
PennyWise:We’re not going to impose a famous rock star’s face over August’s
MayDay:):-I
JuneBug:She’s a salty one
MayDay:What’s the problem, Pen?
PennyWise:Acting like it’s real makes it feel real. Then I’ll remember it’s not, and nothing feels real.
MayDay:(o_O)
JuneBug:That actually makes sense to me. How do you know what’s true when you’re lying to everyone?
MayDay:Harsh
PennyWise:June’s right. It’s like that line inA Room with a View, when Mr. Emerson says to Lucy, “Why should they [trust you]? When you’ve deceived everyone, including yourself?”
MayDay:Juney, she’s quoting old movies. She’s in a bad way
PennyWise:It’s a costume drama, not an old movie
MayDay:and when was it made, professor?
PennyWise:1985 is not THAT old
MayDay:>_:-P
JuneBug:Anyway! How do you know it isn’t real? I get that Augie asked you to “fake” it with him. But he’s not exactly the faking type. IDT he has it in him to pretend. If he isn’t into something he just checks out. If he is? He’s all in.
MayDay:this is true. Sure he’s got his public “game face” but in private? It’s pretty clear exactly where you stand with him
PennyWise:That’s what I thought—before he did a 180 on me! He went from mild politeness our whole lives to giving me his complete flirtatious attention.
JuneBug:it happens like that sometimes. See someone again... Boom! Wham! Helloooo, gorgeous!
PennyWise:No, no. He said he knew I was a safe pick for this... charade because I wouldn’t fall for him! Then he said he’d never fall for me because football is all that matters to him. What am I supposed to think with that hanging over my head?
MayDay:Ok. He’s an idiot
JuneBug:Deluded at best. Careless at worst
PennyWise:No, he’s great
