Akara is angry He pockets his phone withhis teeth

“Is everyone looking atin the chair

“No,” Banks says unconvincingly, because he sounds frostier

I’m not embarrassed abouton the We Are Calloway docuseries has helpedto the world, but I decide what airs and what ends on the cutting room floor

I’ve had no mental or emotional preparation forpoint And so yeah, I’ in my seat

Peeking up fro down at me like they wish they could console me better

I also notice Maxifrom these suys would be so er?

Sit up, Sulli

Scooting upwards, I try to show that I’m fine

Utterly fucking fine

“You just went off birth control this ,” Akara whispers to me and Banks “And we talked about it in the penthouse”

I reuys were really supportive when I said I want to take a break fro with hts, and I’ into another hellish side effect with a new type or brand

“Should we try to stop talking about private stuff at the penthouse?” I ask them

Akara twists on the cap to the Fizz Life bottle “That’s easier said than done, and we’re still not positive it’s the penthouse, Sul At this point, theon too”

“Hey,” I answer over the loud cheering as the football players take the field Third quarter

“Can’t talk long” Classical round, and I almost want to put the phone to Akara’s ear He always says being at the ballet

The soundtrack to the Nutcracker being Akara’s fight jaht

“I’ll take short!” I have to shout over the crowd

“The fates don’t cut the string for your destiny When they cut the string, they’re deter your moment of death”
