"Hey, Chance."

"Why did you call?"

"Oh, sorry. I'm just all over the place at home."

"Yeah."

"I'm fine, Chance. You don't have to worry for me."

"And I'm telling you that I'm fine. Now, what are you doing?"

"Cool."

"Double cool. You'll be nerd-free."

"Oh. I'm at the book store with Gabby and my dad. I'm...actually going to start reading again. Since music helped me stop cutting, I should bring my reading hobby back. My dad was surprised when I walked from him and my sister to the teen section."

"Are you...smiling?"

"..."

"Because...that's the first compliment you gave me."

"And I'm still a bitch."

"It's either that or we can be partners in crime. Would you like that, Bobby? Being wanted and evil?"

"Even if we're partners?"
