[pushpin]

all the time
we need the money

.....u really gotta stop quoting me at myself, its embarrassing

[swordhardy]

It's harder to make back there?

Nah

[pushpin]

yea war harder
u gotta have good grades in school to get a job & a lotta places wont hire u in the first place bcoz u dont got open availability​
i was tryna get expelled but.....
eh thats a whole other story

what a dick

[swordhardy]

Grades? If you can do the job, what's that matter for? And you know I'm going to want to hear a story if you mention it

Yep. And sometimes I like your words better

[pushpin]

i wish i knew but it does
everythings like that, as if sittin in a desk & writing answers on a test counts for anything
idk i suck at school
goddamn it
yea
its not really that long i just got into a lot of fights & this guy offered me a position but fucked me over instead
um
do u know jian yi ? the guy here

thats fine but i want to hear urs sometimes too

[swordhardy]

I wasn't great at it either. If it's not about swords it's not really interesting. Anyway... uh. Is that the one with the soft hair and bright smile? I saw him on markr once

We talk a lot. I'm surprised you're not tired of mine by now

[pushpin]

i think ud legitimately go nuts if u had to sit in a desk all damn day haha
yea thats him
dont get drawn in by him though hes trouble
not the fun kind either

nuh uh

[swordhardy]

Is he the one that screwed you over?

It'll happen eventually, I'm sure

[pushpin]

....no
hes the 1 who bailed me out

no pressure

[swordhardy]

Okay, not where I was expecting this to go, but sure. What happened?

[pushpin]

um alright
so this guy i knew had a gang & made pretty good profit from it
after i ran w/ him & his boys for a while he had a deal for me
one of em got stuck w/ theft at school & his parents were willin to pay for someone else to take the blame
itd get me expelled, paid, & he had an opening at his familys bar so really it was a win/win
but he lied to me & it was for molestin a younger girl at another school
i said i wouldnt take the fall for somethin disgusting like that but bcoz of my rep nobody belived me
jian yi came up w/ proof & got me off the hook

& this was after........
well
i put his best friend in the hospital right after we first met

[swordhardy]

So he helped you when he didn't have to

Out of a pretty bad situation too, it sounds like

[pushpin]

yea pretty much

[swordhardy]

Thanks for telling me

[pushpin]

....right
sure

[swordhardy]

So... you're not friends with him?

[pushpin]

jian yi ?
no
i dunno
that word is stupid

[swordhardy]

Maybe. Easy to understand, though

[pushpin]

like hell it is
it always means somethin different from 1 person to the next

[swordhardy]

What's it mean to you?

[pushpin]

why dont u tell me urs 1st

[swordhardy]

Mine? It's not that complicated

It's someone I want to be around when I don't have to be

[pushpin]

yea
that is easy
things would be easier if i had a definition like that too
but mines more about commitment
someone u wont leave just bcoz things get hard or u get bored
somethin meaningful u put above urself & sometimes ur goals

guess thats why i dont have any friends

[swordhardy]

I see. To me, that sounds like a lover

You're not close to anyone on the station? You talk to a lot of people

[pushpin]

en
a lovers way more than that but i.... dont know how to describe it
impossible maybe

nah not really
i talk to a lot of people bcoz i have to
wish i only had to talk to 5 at the most
