Hey, you.

Me

Hey, YOU.

Beck

Your sophomore year is coming to a close. You must be excited. Things going good for you?

Me

I still have a couple of months to go and finals—shudder, LOL. But, yeah, things are awesome.

Your season is almost over. It has to feel amazing, knowing that a break is coming soon.

Beck

Regular season, yes, but now we have to survive playoffs.

Me

I imagine that’s a whole thing.

Beck

Yes, a whole fucking thing.

Listen, I’ve got a bye week coming up. I can’t travel since I have practice every day, but I was thinking, why don’t you come out and stay with me? If you can’t swing the whole week, come for a couple of days or as long as you can.

Me

Ooh. Sounds fun. What are the dates?

Beck

March 12–18.

Me

Beck, nooo! Tell me you’re kidding. Tell me those aren’t the dates?!

Beck

You’ve got plans?

Me

I’m in South Beach that whole week with my friends for spring break.

Beck

You’ll have a blast.

Me

I thought that too … until I got your invite.
