"Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling."
"Did you really try to comfort me with that line?"
"Well. Is it working?"
"What do you think? No, it's not."

When Cassidy graduated high school she never thought anyone would...

Okay. I want to start the conservation today. I was looking back at our text messages today and I am sure you have a few questions for me.
Well, hello to you too, Cassidy. What questions would I have?
Does the day where Ashley and Lindsey came into your workplace talking about me and spreading rumors trigger anything in your mind?
Now that you mentioned it, (plus the fact that I just read through our messages) yes, it does ring a bell.
So do you want more information about it?
Only if you are willing. I don't want to forced you to do anything that you feel uncomfortable.
I am, I feel like we never talked about this, or the reason why I left high school on the last day as I did.
You mean running out of school screaming things that should never be repeated?
Yes, Owen. How else did I leave the school? Let me talk now.
Sorry.
It's alright. Now where do I start?
I want to be sarcastic and say from the beginning.
Thanks Captain Obvious. Can I continue? Actually don't answer that. I am going to start. Everything that Ashley and Lindsey holds a partial truth to it.
Really? I highly doubt that.
You are not going to make this easy on me are you?
Sorry. It's just you rarely start saying anything personal. And on top of that I felt like that you were finally starting to believe that nothing was true and wasn't your fault.
Okay Owen. That's where you're wrong. You barely know what the rumors are. Can you please stop acting like you do?
I know what I heard and I am choosing to not believe them.
That's all fine and dandy, but don't go to the extreme where you are trying to get me to not believe the things that I KNOW are true.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'll try to back off.
Thank you.
Alright, now that I can finally talk about my rumors about me. We are going to do this my way. And by that I mean you are going tell me what kind of rumors you heard and I will tell you the truth in them are.
That will take a long time Cassidy, and you know it.
Fine we can begin another time and we could do like once a day, if you prefer that.
I feel like that's a good idea. Then I can give you advice and comfort you.
Only if you feel like it is needed. Of course.
I highly doubt that I would any of those two things, but thanks for offering, I guess.
I've got to go soon. Do you maybe want to start this tomorrow?
Only if you tell me where you are why you have to leave. And you have to prepare for tomorrow's conversation without trying to make me mad.
My mom called me and said something about getting something for someone special. Who? I don't know. What? I don't know.
