Lisa stops writing and glares at Gavin "Excuse irl with the glasses"

"Megan Malarty?"

"Yeah, that one Oh, and the guy with the Justin Bieber hair"

"I saw hian Malarty and Kyle Cheeseman on the notepad

"Is that all?" I ask Gavin

He nods, then hesitates "Oh, well, except Jasmine Jasmine--well, Dead Jasmine She was there too" He looks froetic "Sorry to call her Dead Jasmine, but I can’t reuess it was a popular naht, Gavin," Lisa says, distracted "Albright Her last naht"

It’s no wonder none of the RAs admitted the truth to Lisa Their ht before Jasmine’s death was a violation of their ee

"Of course I wasn’t there," Gavin says, his arust than defensiveness "He invited ot to etting their toilet paper and trash bags and billiard cues? Jaht shifts to o in for that kind of stuff Alcohol’s notYou of all people should know that, Heather"

"I haven’t touched a drop since then," he says, with a touch of sanctimoniousness "Well, except the occasional beer now and then," he adds, when I raise an eyebrow "You know I love my PBR" Pabst Blue Ribbon, official beer of the screenplay-writing hipster "Mostly I only smoke weed"
