Chapter Six: Human Nature

(Team Corsair courtyard, week six)

"I know what you're doing." Genesis says.

"Give me a break," Selene crosses her fingers.

Genesis: "You need to stop it."

Selene: "I don't want to."

Genesis: "Think about the team."

Selene: "How do you know?"

Genesis: "I tasted coke when we were together."

Selene: "Why are you just bringing this up?"

Genesis: "I didn't want to believe it," Genesis bites his fingernails.

Selene: "Believe what you want."

Genesis: "Please, for me."

Selene: "What have you ever done for me?"

Genesis: "I'm doing something right now."

Selene: "You're bossing me around."

Genesis: "I am the boss."

Selene: "So I'm just another teammate?"

Genesis: "If you were I would have told Agatha."

Selene: "You're not serious are you?"

Genesis: "I totally am."

Selene: "Live a little."

Genesis: "I want a life. "

Selene: "I'm not stopping you."

Genesis: "The coke will negate us. "

Selene: "I won't flunk that test."

Genesis: "You don't know that."

Selene: "I only use right after each test, so it's out of my system before we test."

Genesis: "You don't need this."

Selene: "You don't know what I need."

Genesis: "I thought that we had an understanding."

Selene: "You thought wrong."

Genesis: "What's bugging you?"

Selene: "These damn bug for one."

Genesis: "I'm here for you."

Selene: "You just want to win."

Genesis: "Don't you?"

Selene: "Where would I go, huh? My pimp is the only one that I trust. What kind of life is that, huh?"

Genesis: "You could come with me."

Selene: "Where would we go? Your grandparents won't accept me."

Genesis: "We could start over somewhere. Anywhere."

Selene: "You would do that just for me?"

Genesis: "Don't you think that you're worth it?"

Selene: Fallon and Selene are watching a game show.

Genesis: "Did you ever know your parents?" Fallon asks.

Selene: "My mom was a crackhead and my father couldn't hold a job," Selene answers.

Genesis: "Did you runaway?"

Selene: "My parents sold me to a pimp."

Genesis: "For how much?"
