“Race has had a thing working for you for a while, but things with hiht now are shaky The Point is never really standing on solid ground, and right now the entire placeHe needs to keep his head up and his eyes on the prize or really bad shit could fall down on hi at his side, it’ll pull you under too”

The corner of his rin, and I could see it, really see the beauty in him that had Dovie so head over heels in love with hih out loud

“The TA is an asshole He asked me out and I sort of turned him down in a jerky way Ever since then I’ve been positive he’sthis se hell He’s the only person I can think of that Iway lately but I can’t prove he’s doing anything shady”
