Ryden Hell: The Sequel

xlii

"So, explain," Brendon says right after answering the Skype call, skipping the hello because who needs 'em, honestly. "And don't give me any bullshit, cause you're an awful liar, Ross."

"Okay, I'm gonna start this by saying you're definitely going to find this really fucking stupid, but it's the truth-"

"Oh boy, this should be fun."

"Alright, so do you remember me telling you that Hayley is highkey a lesbian?"

"But she hasn't exactly accepted it yet, yeah. She's you, essentially."

"So, we basically live in the center of the incredibly conservative part of Pennsylvania, and everyone is homophobic as fuck, especially at school. The first few weeks of school were hell, cause I apparently radiate homo."

"Hell yeah you do, I could literally tell from the first words you said to me that you were gay."

"And then, Hayley, being the genious she is, had a wonderful idea; we pretend to date so we don't get shit for being flaming homosexuals. We act all gross and heterosexual around people we've just met until we know what their view on that is. I guess I probably should have told her not to do that with you."

"Yeah, maybe. It might have stopped a bit of unnecessary drama. You were right though, that is the stupidest shit I've ever heard."

"But do you believe it?"

Brendon is quite, thinking about it for a minute. "Yeah," he says with a sigh. "That's definitely the kind of stupid shit you'd do."

"Wow, thanks Bren."

"No problem, darling."

"Wait, did I stay in the three hundred word limit with that?"

"I think so. Probably wouldn't have if the author knew how to write in detail, but she doesn't, so you're good fam."

"You're not my fam, bro."

Brendon gasps. "But bro."

"You're not my bro, dog."

"But dog!"

"Can y'all stop quoting vines and, like, do something romantic?" They hear Hayley shout from her bedroom.

"Fuck off, Hayley! Go get high, or something!" Ryan shouts back.

Brendon laughs. "You're so nice to her."

"I know I am."

Y'all I started another game of skyrim cause I got bored not even a full day into summer break
I wrote this while I was waiting for the unnecessarily long intro to finish
(Which is why its trash)

So daniel skyped me yesterday and I could tell he was like hardcore judging me cause I was just sitting in my bed, playing Skyrim, eating watermelon from this huge ass bowl that I just took out of the fridge with a popsicle stick cause I forgot a fork and I ate like half the bowl but its chill I guess

So we learned on Wednesday that I am better at Latin than English and that's lowkey concerning but whatever I guess
