Hudson

Nothing is overkill with me.

Seb

Everything is overkill with you, dude.

Hudson

Whatever. The reason I’m doing it is because I love you guys and I want to tell you nice things when I wake up in the morning because you’re all awesome.

Seb

Wait.

Is this just so you have more people to save you from hookups gone wrong?

Jay

Nail on the head.

Hudson

No! I’m upset that you think so little of me.

Miles

It totally is.

Hudson

Oh there he is, my favorite person.

Jay

Why you gotta break my heart like that.

Seb

Such a suck up.

Miles

Don’t hate me ‘cause you ain’t me.

Hudson

How’s the arm feeling?

Miles

Sore, but I’m hoping it’ll heal fast and I can get this cast off, it’s itchy as fuck.

Seb

Today’s the meet with the dean, right?

I hover my fingers over the buttons, not wanting to burden them but realizing that these people care about me.
