SUTTON

The harder you resist, the more I want to.

LAKE

Where would I even wear these? They’re not brunch-with-my-mom casual.

SUTTON

On the many dates I have planned, obviously.

LAKE

You’re impossible.

SUTTON

I’m realistic.

Thursday, February 25th, 12:06 p.m.

SUTTON

I got your SOS text. What’s going on?

LAKE

This fucking test I have next period is messing with my head.

SUTTON

Hey, you’re okay. Breathe.

LAKE

I’m trying. I spent all week studying, and if I bomb it, my mom is going to kill me.

SUTTON

She won’t.

LAKE

Hah, you don’t know her. She already thinks I spend too much free time getting up to trouble. I don’t need my grades to reflect that.

SUTTON

You’re an adult. You can spend your time however you want.

LAKE

Tell that to her. I need a Xanax. And a drink. Can you drink while taking antianxiety meds?

SUTTON

Jesus. Where are you? I’ll duck out of sociology. Attendance isn’t mandatory anyways.
