That’s not fair. I’m sorry that happened to you.
Makes me wish I could run into the guy. I’d let him know exactly how I feel about how he treated you.
Summer
Okay, Bruiser.
Nathan
Better Bruiser than Killer. I know how to fight clean.
Summer
Ha! That’s true.
I’ve actually wondered if he’s seen anything online about the two of us being together.
A petty part of me hopes he has.
Nathan
That’s not petty.
Summer
It’s a little petty.
Might be slightly less petty if we were dating for real.
Nathan
But we’re friends for real. And that’s enough that I would kick his ass if he showed his face anywhere near you.
Summer
That’s sweet.
Nathan
It’s nothing. It’s what friends are for.
Summer
HEY. I heard about the exhibition game against the Yellow Jackets. That’s amazing.
Nathan
Yeah. I just hope we don’t embarrass ourselves.
Summer
You totally won’t. I even have proof. Hang on…

Nathan
Who said that?
