《Hired To Love》Ask Henry #2
Advertisement
Hey everyone! I'm back for another round of ask Henry. I've gone through the questions and pulled some to answer for you all! Thanks for being so interested in me! And for a special surprise, Lee is here with me. So I'll be formatting the answers differently so you know if it's me or Lee speaking.
Let's get to it!
Henry: Aww, you're very kind. I'd like to think that Lee is proud of me for doing what he requested.
Lee: I am very proud of you and very indebted. Thank you for being there for Bennett.
Henry: A bathtub toy?
Lee: Rubber ducks are used to show that waves transport energy, not matter. So while waves go from one end of the bathtub to the other, your duck oscillates in place, and does not move with the water. The duck is the matter, the energy is you creating the waves. Do you see now?
Henry: *claps*
Me: *claps*
Arthur Weasley: *claps and takes notes*
Henry: Uhhhh
Lee: What book?
Henry: *blushes* There's no book!! Next question.
Henry: Make sure you tag your works properly and specifically. Use proper grammar and an attractive cover. Unfortunately, people do judge books by their covers. Tag all your works as featured so they have a higher chance of becoming featured— that'll help you out a lot. And most importantly, interact with your readers and respond to as many comments as possible. Interact with other writers too, so you'll get more reads and more friends!
Lee: Wait, what's Wattpad?
Henry: It's Meta.
Henry: When you get to be my age—
Lee: Henry, you're not even old.
Henry: But I am experienced. When I look back at my high school years and the crushes I've had, and how I just held it in silently and it went nowhere, I regret it. The worst that could happen is he tells you you're too young and he doesn't feel that way. Then you can move on and not feel unhappy about being unsure about what to do about your feelings. Be brave and tell him how you feel. You could be wasting your time pining after this guy when there could be someone out there who's your perfect match. Take chances.
Henry: Be yourself. It's cliché but it's true. You might want to try and fit it and get along with everyone, but the only ones you'll keep in contact with after high school are the ones you were yourself with all along. It gets tiring putting up a constant front and trying to be liked. High school is just a small, small part of your life. Just be yourself and be friendly. Join clubs and sports or get a job where maybe other students work. It really helps. Lee: I second that. High school is lame and temporary.
Henry: Do I? I hadn't realized it.
Lee: We've been compared our whole lives. We're used to it.
Henry: But you're your own persons. It's not right that you should be compared to each other. I'll try to stop.
Lee: *smiles*
Henry: I'd thank them for bringing me into this world.
Lee: I'd also thank them.
Henry: Are your parents the type of people to punish you for that? If so, don't tell them. Just go along with it for now. If it would make your home life difficult, try to bare with it. You won't be there forever. You should make it bearable.
Lee: It's okay to have different religious beliefs than other people as long as you respect other's beliefs. I'd like to hope your parents have the same view as we all should.

Henry: I wouldn't label myself as anything. I've only dated girls before though. But I understand sometimes you fall for people you wouldn't expect to fall for.
Henry: ...
Lee: *laughs* He's speechless. It's true you know.
Henry: ...
Henry: I love you too!
Henry: You're too sweet.
Lee: Wow, Henry you have a lot of fans!
Henry: ...well how old are you?
Lee: You can't marry someone you just met.
Henry: But they would genuine...
Lee: Henry's not marrying anyone anytime soon, sorry.
Henry: Ice cream! Chocolate ice cream.
Lee: Frozen yogurt.
Lee: Well that certainly was a change of tone in questions. As for an answer though, it's- *
Lee: I can't keep up with the direction of these questions. Honestly though, neither. Neither are what attracts me to someone. I prefer personality.
Henry: I'd say booty.
Lee: Well- *
Lee: *frowns*Why does that keep happening?
Henry: I like both. For tea, I would have to say Earl Grey.
Lee: I don't really drink much of either. I tend to stick with water.
Henry: Definitely! They look good together. Sebastian is a great man and Anna is a great woman. They'd be a power couple.
Lee: Really? I've never seen Sebastian even remotely interested in anyone. I have to see this.
Henry: Sure! It's xxx-xxx-xxxx. I have to warn you though, it's not an iPhone. So if you're international, rates may apply.
Me, @knightsrachel, @alinovak, @kelleyanneblount, @nonfictionalex, @mcromances, @cold_lady19: GET AN iPHONE!!
Henry: .....*sweats*
Lee: When Bennett was younger he was terrified of vacuums. So naturally, as an older brother, on the rare instances we were outside playing together, I'd run really far away from him and start shouting their was a vacuum coming after us. He'd come screaming and crying after me, yelling for help. It was really funny.
Henry: I'm glad I don't have an older brother.
Lee: It was all in good fun.
Henry: Come to think of it, I've never seen Bennett use a vacuum.
Lee: Huh. Me either.
Henry & Lee: ...
Henry: Um, since they're both already pretty much spoken for, I don't think so. If I had met either one of them before anyone else, then maybe? They are cute girls and Anna is very funny.
Lee: I could see myself dating Henley. I like cute people with names that start with H.
Henry: Right now it's baked potato soup.
Lee: For me, I'd say pizza. Plain cheese pizza with some red pepper flakes on it.
Henry: Um, well... I really regret not being able to go that night. Sometimes I think things would have been different if I were there.
Lee: Henry, it wouldn't have mattered. I was set on what I planned to do. No one could have stopped me. It's not your fault. A different day wouldn't have changed it. You coming wouldn't have changed it.
Henry: Let's not talk about this.
Lee: Fine, we'll talk later.
Henry: When you've been through bad things, being kind becomes easier. You don't want people to feel how you felt. And they could be in that situation right now. Being kind is easy and sometimes gives other people the little hope they need.
Lee: And he's not alone.
Henry: And I'm not alone. I was at some point, but we all have bad parts of life. You just have to get through it.
Henry: Oh I don't smoke weed.
Lee: ...
Me: Pardon him, Henry needs a lecture on memes.
Henry: ?
Me: How are you a writer and you don't know memes?!
Henry: I know some memes. That video of that star wars kid.

Me: THAT'S FROM LIKE TEN YEARS AGO.
Henry: ThAt's FrOm LiKE TeN YEaRs AgO
Me: I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T KNOW MEMES?!
Lee: I don't understand what is happening. I think I'm too old for this stuff.
Henry: Me too.
Me: !!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the memelord teach you poor ducklings. *drags Lee and Henry by their elbows and makes them read about the latest trend of memes*
Lee: Well, I was a late bloomer. I never really hung out with girls until high school. So my first kiss came when I was a senior. I told Bennett about it and well... that girl was his first kiss too. Before me. I think he may have taken pity on me and asked her to kiss me.
Henry: *snorts*
Lee: It's not funny! I was mortified. Let's hear your story.
Henry: I traded my first kiss for a pack of Smarties.
Lee: I see. So if someone wants a kiss from you, all they have to do is buy you candy?
Henry: I was in third grade, Lee.
Lee: I bet it still works.
Lee: He knew I wasn't dead. I don't know what my mother said to him, but I'm sure it traumatized him. It's all my fault. I'm not surprised everyone acted like I was dead. I don't think my mother ever expected me to come back.
Lee: What I admire most about him is also what worries me most about him. He wants to protect the things he loves at any cost. Even if it means giving up another thing he loves. You shouldn't have to make choices like that in life.
Henry: If someone doesn't like you, you can't force it. The only thing that will happen is the other person will become uncomfortable and soon you're not even in the "friendzone" anymore. You're not even a friend.
Lee: The term friendzone shouldn't even be a thing. It's a term that's basically blaming the other person for rejecting the confessor's feelings. You can't control whom you like. It's no one's fault.
Henry: I can't pick a side.
Lee: Sebastian even has competition? I have to see this!
Henry: ...
Lee: ...
Me: ...
Henry: This is awkward.
Me: My feelings won't be hurt if you don't choose me.
Henry: Oh good—
Me: OR WILL THEY BE?!
Lee: I'll go with Jordan.
Henry: It seems safe.
Me: TOO BAD SUCKERS, I ALREADY HAVE MY PERFECT GUY HAHAHAHA. No offense.
Henry: Hair sandwich.
Lee: What? How can you decide so quickly?
Henry: I'm sure we've all eaten hairs by accident in our food before. I'll think of it like that.
Lee: How many toenails are in the smoothie...?
Henry: Huh. I didn't even realize that.
Lee: What does that mean?
Henry: If we put our names together it would be HenLee. So, Henley.
Lee: She must be our love child. What should we do? We're too young to be fathers. She'll have to be left to the orphanage... do they accept twenty one year olds?
Henry: *shakes his head*
Henry: Are we counting all relationships? Like elementary and middle school ones too?
Lee: How many relationships did you have in elementary school?
Henry: You don't have to buy me. We can hang out whenever—
Lee: Henry!
Henry: What?
Lee: Stranger danger!
Lee: Henry.... why did she feel the need to tell you she is legal? What have you been doing while I was gone?
Henry: I'd love to go to Chipotle! I'm pretty simple. Half black beans half pinto. Half chicken half steak. White rice. The red spicy sauce. Sour cream. A little Lettuce. Cheese. Guac on the side.
Lee: That's not simple, Henry. And don't ignore me!
Henry: Yeah, why not? I would date someone younger than me. I'd also date someone older than me.
Lee: As long as it's legal, go for it.
Henry: Hmm... Egypt? India? The Philippines?
Lee: We can do that.
Henry: This is hypothetical.
Lee: Yeah, but you have a best friend with the money. That's not hypothetical.
Henry: I wouldn't go as far as Hitler or Stalin. She hasn't killed anyone. I can't really think of anyone. Maybe like the CEO of Walmart or something?
Lee: She's my mother, I can't comment in good conscience.
Henry: I said it before in an earlier question, but really, do what you can just to get through it. It's temporary. And aside from grades, it's not important. The friendships probably won't last. Relationships probably won't last. College is a completely new and different world, if you plan on going. Once you get out of high school that's when you start finding out about yourself. In high school you're pressed to fit society and what stupid online articles tell kids what they're supposed to look like, how they're supposed to act, how to get drunk at a party, and basically how to mess up your future.
Lee: Be true to yourself. Don't hide your likes. Don't put up with people who aren't nice to you. You don't have to be friends with everyone. You don't have to like everyone. Everyone doesn't have to like you. As the rich guy of school, people clung to be like their lives depended on being my friend and looked down on people who didn't drive an Audi to school. Don't be like those people.
Henry: Be friendly, study hard, don't care about what people think of you, and graduate and never look back. It's possible to have a good high school career. I wouldn't say mine was bad. I just wish I had a bigger backbone and didn't want to be liked by everyone.
Me: Is it so wrong to want to give you fun side chapters? Don't you care about these people?!
Lee & Henry: Yeah! We're important too!
Me: I'll keep doing them and if you don't like them, don't read them. But I hope you do secretly like them and just are too super excited for the many story to continue to admit it!
Henry: ...
Lee: Are you hesitating about this?
Henry: I really like chocolate.
Lee: I want to be offended, but I also know how much you like your sweets.
Henry: I guess I could give up chocolate for Lee. And I'm 5'9.
Lee: I don't believe that for a second.
Henry: I would.
Lee: ...
Henry: But if Lee were made out of chocolate-
Lee: And the touching moment is lost. If you're wondering how tall I am, I'm 6'1.
Henry: Hello! My day is going pretty good, thank you. As for advice for going to college. Take a HUGE breath. It's not that scary! Everyone makes it out to be some super strict place but honestly, it's way more relaxed than high school.
Me: Really!! My English professor my first year of college let me skip every Monday class so I could work. As long as I handed in all work on Friday (it was a MWF class), I was fine. He even e-mailed me the slides.
Henry: And tell the rest of the story.
Me: ....and then after the semester ended he e-mailed me at least five times over the course of the next semester asking me to go to dinner with him...
Lee: Ah, so there was an ulterior motive.
Me: And probably illegal.
Me: But my next semester's psych professor also cancelled class for a whole month for her wedding and honeymoon!
Lee: What college did you go to?
Me: ....well it was a community college but what's really the difference besides 30,000 in debt?!
Henry: As you can see, it's not that bad. I think Jordan has outliers in her professors, but most are very understanding and will help you out if you need it. As for making friends and what not, just talk to people. For the most part, there will be a lot of freshmen in your classes who feel the same as you!
Henry: I like to write.
