"I'll try to be strong
Believe me I'm trying to move on
It's complicated but understand me."

Ivan Lockhart:
Oi, dummy! Wake up already! It's half past ten!
You:
I know! I've been awake since nine fucking thirty.
Ivan Lockhart:
Then why aren't you online until recently? Too busy cleaning up your room?
You:
Fuck you. My room is perfectly fine okay.
You:
And I was eating brunch!
Ivan Lockhart:
She's coming over today, isn't she?
Ivan Lockhart:
As if your room is always clean.
You:
Fuck why did I even tell you about her coming over to my house?
You:
Yes, she is. And yes, my room is clean but not often clean enough to accomodate a guest.
Ivan Lockhart:
Wait. You're bringing her to your room?
Ivan Lockhart:
You're not going to rape her, are you?
You:
You dirty-minded pig, of course not!
Ivan Lockhart:
You sly fox.
You:
I'm sly in other matters, but certainly not raping her.
You:
I'm nervous. You know, since she's coming over.
Ivan Lockhart:
Relax. She's not Darth Vader.
You:
Darth Vader is nice and cool, okay?
You:
I'm just worried that I'll end up hurting her if she asks about me again.
Ivan Lockhart:
Ew! Darth Vader is so wrinkly and old and mean.
Ivan Lockhart:
Worry you must not. She cares about you. I mean, you're her friend.
Ivan Lockhart:
So if she questions, answer them honestly, even if it's hard.
You:
And if I hurt her?
Ivan Lockhart:
A man is not fully living his life without being hurt and hurting others.
You:
Since when you're so poetic?
Ivan Lockhart:
Ever since 'One Art', Eli.
You:
And how dare you insult Darth Vader.
Ivan Lockhart:
You really do have horrible tastes, Eli.
You;
Oh, shut up, you.
Ivan Lockhart:
Never, Eli, never. Now go and clean your room.
