Surprisingly, Nicks birthday party was really fun after the whole closest scene. Now with the unbearable tension gone, George could finally do what Karls been telling him to.
Have fun.

And that he did. (not too much though)

George woke up to a text from Dream. The clock read 11:37 am.

D- heyyy good morning

He scoffed.

G- things change

George craned his neck up from his pillow, and glanced over to Karls side of the room. He wasn't there. George fully sat up and furrowed just eyebrows.

D- yeah then late at night nick made ME go pick him up

George clicked off his phone and set it down on his desk. He stretched his body.
Today was a Sunday, one week from Georges last soccer game. He's been kind of neglecting practicing, sometimes he just gets lazy.

Today though, he decided (with a groan) that he's going to go outside and actually practice.
His bed creaked under him while moving to get off. He put a hand through his hair, put on shoes, grabbed his phone, and was already down the hallway before he realized he didn't have Karl. He didn't have his driver.

That wouldn't really be a problem, because George drives Karls car all the time. But he always knows that Karl keeps his keychain, with his car keys on it, with him at all times. It was a stupid thing he always did.

George sighed as he began to walk back to his dorm door. He had finally made himself go do something needed to be done, and the universe really said "fuck you."

He had his hand on the door knob before he realized who else has a car.
A quick roll of his eyes and a couple rings later, he heard a familiar voice through his speakers.

"Hello hello!" Dreams voice chimed through.

The cheerfulness almost made George gag.

"Dream." George responded.

"What's up, George?"  He could hear his smile.

George blinked, "Why'd you say it like that?"

"Like what?" Dream laughed.

At this point George felt a little embarrassed standing in his dorm hallway, randomly remembering people might be able to hear him through the walls.
Probably not though.
