"you do realize she's going to find out who you are right"
"well, when in rome."
"we're in new york but okay."
i refer to everyone (aside from people who, to my knowledge, have spoken up about their discomfort with it) as their real names.

THIRD POV
"hey girlie!" asher says, beaming as jude opens her door. judes' smile only grows, launching herself onto the 19 year old she considers her good friend.
the two have not seen eachother since a little after halloween, having become much closer after her breakup with m*les. but college was stressful and left them no time to talk, then he went to california for christmas break.
"what the heck! i thought you were back tomorrow, dummy." she laughs, hitting him on his back.
he chuckles a bit, "i came early to surprise you dingus."
his words make the girl smile, as she separates from him. looking behind him she sees karl.
her smile shrinks a bit, thinking of alex's words but she shakes it off. she can ask karl himself about it later.
she ushers asher in and karl behind him. immediately following his lead as he keeps walking.
he walks into her bedroom and she follows. "i have something to tell you."
judith tilts her head to the side in confusion but nods. karl's heart stops, she's so fucking cute.
"right well uhm i know we have gotten to know each other a lot over these past few weeks and i- uhm i wanted to tell you that i want to start the new year off completely honest and say that i.." his words slow down a bit at the end, watching her face contort into one of more confusion and almost hurt. she was scared for what he had to say.
"hey it's okay." she reassures giving him a small smile. no matter what it was she was sure they could get past it.
"..want to be your boyfriend." he finishes, gulping and thinking a multitude of vulgar thoughts to damn himself. he does want that of course, but he wishes he had the balls to be honest with her on the whole, leaving soon and being a content creator part as well.
jude's eyes widen, as does her smile. she feels not butterflies, but a whole god damn zoo in her stomach and she launches onto him into a hug.
he lands on her bed flat on his back as her legs straddle his waist. she leans up after the hug, beaming at him. then she leans down again to capture his lips in a kiss.
the kiss is playful on her end but serious on his. he kisses her with meaning, knowing this might be the last time things are normal.
a knock on the door interrupts them. "hey jude, you still have a party to run."
jude rolls her eyes playfully before trying to leave, only for karl to tighten his grip on her.
