Declan | Cal
"Quit being a slob and go get dressed in something beachy."
"Who the hell are you telling me what to do? My mother?"
"I will not hesitate to whip off this shoe and beat you with it if you don't get your ass up."
"Okay mother. Where are we going?"
"You mean, where are you going? You're going on a date."
"Haha, nice try. Now hand me that bag of Cheetos puffs, will ya?"
"I'm serious, Duck Head."
"You know good and well that me and dates don't get along. Remember what happened with Ashley?"
"That was in the literal seventh grade. You were twelve."
"And I still managed to get a glob of gum stuck in her hair. Twice. She had to shave her head almost bald."
"...that's just bad luck."
"I beg to differ. Remember Lindsey in tenth grade? Gave her a kiss on the lips and proceeded to vomit over the front of her shirt."
"Get your ass up. If you don't then Lila is gonna beat my ass with a shoe. I'm not letting you be the cause of my pain."
"Remember Mila in 12th grade? Broke my heart because I was too nice."
"Look Declan, I know you don't have a good past in dating. I get that. But ever since your last girlfriend you've been a mess. You've been on edge. You've been seeming like you're looking for something. I'm just trying to help."
"I know. I just...I don't want to get hurt again."
"Jo is a good one, Declan. She—"
"Jo? I'm going on a date with Jo?!"
"I didn't say that..."
"I believe you did."
"Fuck, Lila's gonna kill me."
"..."
"..."
"You think Jo is good for me?"
"I really do."
"What's she look like?"
"..."
"Don't smile at me like that."
"Get ready to go. You'll see for yourself. Oh, and don't mention that you knew who you were going on a date with before you left."
"I can't believe I'm doing this."
