Five Years of Make-Believe — Episode 7

I heard you transferred back from Austin. Why transfer this late? It's already junior year. My grandpa missed me. I came back to keep her company. Major respect.

Just got here. Don't have friends yet. Kind of pathetic, honestly. If anything comes up, bring me along. So I'd text him before first period, invited him to eat at the cafeteria. And when I saw him alone in gym class, I'd ask him to partner up.

Heard you needed a partner? Until this one day, Ethan and I had just taken our seats. You're impossible. And you're dramatic.

Hey, Avery. Are you into Ethan? Ethan? I called it. I knew it. No way, Ethan and Avery? Wait, is that true?

That actually makes sense. But the second I looked up, I saw Julian standing at the door.
