Dorian: what up?

Tristan: Hey.

Dorian: how was your first week?

Tristan: Eh . . . not quite how I wanted grade 12 to be.

Dorian: still mad about the idiots in your class?

Tristan: Not to sound conceited or anything . . .

We’re learning some pretty basic stuff . . .

Dorian: you do

Tristan: I do what?

Dorian: sound conceited

Tristan: Ouch.

Dorian: just remember that even if they don’t know everything you know it doesn’t make them stupid

everyone’s there to learn tris

Tristan: Thanks for calling me out . . .

Dorian: I bring the hard truths

hey I don’t judge you

I used to be a lot like that

took spending time with aj to realize that smart comes in all shapes and sizes

Tristan: AJ?

Dorian: yeah he’s my roommate

I used to think he was kind of an idiot

took seeing him in his element to realize that him not knowing stuff didn’t make him stupid

y’know?

Tristan: I guess . . .

Dorian: look just don’t judge people based on what they seem like

they can surprise you

Tristan: I suppose so.

Dorian: hey you watching basker on monday?

Tristan: Of course!

Dorian: wanna watch it with me?

Tristan: How would we do that?

Dorian: well

we both watch it and we’re both on the computer and we can talk about it and stuff

nevermind it’s a dumb idea

Tristan: No! No, it’s a good idea! A great one!

Yeah, I’d love to watch it with you!

Dorian: you sure?

Tristan: Yes. I’m sure. It’ll be awesome.

Dorian: cool
