Makes Me Wonder

Ace Galion | 17 yrs. old

Right. If someone were to not hire you because of something as simple as your first name, then who gives a shit about not working for them? I might go out with you, yeah. Why do you want to go so bad, though? It’s just a bunch of people running around and knocking each other over to get the best deal on a new iPhone. 

[acegalionarchive]

Wait, you'd actually go? I didn't take you as the type--but now fuck Ashton. Although maybe as a friend I should still be concerned about his whereabouts. It's just the novelty and adrenaline rush I guess, it feels good to find a couple really great deals early in the morning and a good chance to get a head start on Christmas gifting. 

[bensonreyesarchive]

You may be cheesy, but I’m definitely not. That’s why it doesn’t work. I think the meaning behind your name will only add to your success. Having a name synonymous with good traits can’t make you look bad, right? Hey, you have me. I’m more than enough. Just being in my presence should make your entire fucking day. Who cares about Ashton and Tori off in La La Land? 

[acegalionarchive]

That sounds like a personal problem to me. It seems tacky I guess, but I guess somewhere worth working wouldn't consider a name as a real reason to mark down someone with the right qualifications. But will you power through Black Friday mobs with me? Can't be in your presence if I've been trampled because I went by myself. 

[keleighbellarchive]

Well that’s kind of mean, sacrificing him for your personal gain. Shame on you Ace Galion.

[acegalionarchive]

It's not a sacrifice, Keleigh. It's the buddy system, thank you very much. Now would you like a orange fluorescent jacket and flashlight or maybe just a picture of his to show to random people to ask if they're spotted him?

[keleighbellarchive]

A hunt for Ashton I can do, Black Friday I can not. There’s this thing called impending death that Black Friday is sure to bring.

[acegalionarchive]

I need all the help I can get for this search party. I'd be an idiot to try to push through the Black Friday crowds by myself, that's why he's there to assure I don't get trampled.

[bensonreyesarchive]

It makes us sound like we’re in some sort of cheesy relationship. I hate it. Ace is a pretty cool name, though. I’ve never met anyone else with that name. Then again, I’ve never met anyone named Benson either. Chill. Ashton’s probably somewhere with Tori. 

[acegalionarchive]

What am I, if not cheesy? Thank you, but I don't know how it'll fare when I need to sound professional and not have a name that may as well be Fantastic or Good or Dynamite. I've heard it as a last name, and I've heard of lots of Benjamin's, but yeah, I'd say Benson as a first name is unique. Okay, I'm going to be even more upset if he's ditching me to shop with his girlfriend he's with 24/7 already than if he's actually missing--almost. 

[bensonreyesarchive]

I’m not the one being disrespectful, Ace. You’re disrespecting me with the usage of that god awful nickname. Why don’t you just text him? I think that’d be a lot easier.

[acegalionarchive]

Benson and Ben are too boring, Benny. I wish my first name were longer so there were nicknames people could use. I tried that, but he hasn't even opened it yet and that was hours ago. I swear he's probably camping outside some store without me and I'm rallying together a search party right now.

[bensonreyesarchive]

After you finish that burrito, you’re probably going to have to shit before you go looking for the piece of shit that is Ashton Fields. 

[acegalionarchive]

Don't disrespect Chipotle, Benny. That's only Taco Bell burritos. But there are plenty of bathrooms around town anyway, and I will go into every retailer in the city if need to be to find him to make sure he's not trying to find the best deals without me.

[acegalionarchive]

After I finish this Chipotle burrito, I need someone to go with me to find out where the hell Ashton has been. Haven't seen that shit in way too long and I need someone to go Black Friday shopping with me.

[ashton--fields]

I’ve googled far stranger things, no worries. Um, I honestly haven’t been up to much at all. Time’s been passing by really fast and I’ve been wasting it by just letting it.

[acegalionarchive]

Do you at least have anything planned for summer? I feel like I waste a lot more time when I don't have school to keep me on a schedule so my boredom might skyrocket if I can't find anything to do around here.

[ashton--fields]

Did you actually research healthy looking grass, or are you just fucking with me? I couldn’t imagine being that bored.

[acegalionarchive]

I actually did type it into google, but then I realized what I was doing before clicking any links and decided to reevaluate how I was spending my time. How about you--what have you been up to?

[ashton--fields]

How long has it grown since you’ve had your eye on it?

[acegalionarchive]

Approximately four millimeters, so we're making some good process but the green isn't as vibrant as it should be if it were really healthy.

[ashton--fields]

I think I’m starting to go crazy with such a massive loss of human contact.

[acegalionarchive]

I always thought watching grass grow was just a phrase, but it's gotten to the point that I'm that bored.

[connorathensarchive]

It was fun removing all of the doors and other possible ways to escape and then letting the entire house on fire, too. I guess I just liked burning people alive the most. I haven’t played it in forever, and you’re kind of making me want to dig the discs up. If you need any help throwing something together for everyone, just let me know. I’m sure I can find time out of my busy schedule of sleeping and showering to come help out.

[acegalionarchive]

I feel like I should get someone to search your room for gasoline and lighters or matches, because I only like fire when it's contained. Do you solemnly swear to reserve setting fires to video games? Will do, Athens. I need a way to get some sun before I resort to turning into one of the girls visiting tanning salons five times a week before  prom.

[bensonreyesarchive]

Thugraham Lincoln is my name on the street. I’m assuming you’ll eventually get tired of it and never want to pick it up again like you did the last time you were addicted. Eat spinach or some shit. Subway’s good, you should bring me back a sub the next time you go. 

[acegalionarchive]

I'll start calling you Ben Franklin to keep it unique, wouldn't want to get too monotonous. Maybe; hopefully. I wonder if those kale drinks I hear about taste like grass or are actually decent--I'll get one of those to go with the sub. You can't expect me to just know what you want on a sub though.

[bensonreyesarchive]

Hey, don’t be rude. I can cook a decent meal if I actually put forth some effort. At least bread has a lot of carbs so you had enough calories to be able to walk around and work and everything, but you should probably eat a proper meal soon. Are we losing you to a game, Ace?

[acegalionarchive]

You talk like you're in the 17th century sometimes, you know that? Half thug life half duke life. No, no, I'm just going to need some recovery time. Maybe I'll toss the games out and go to Subway or something to ease back from all junk to real food. I'll throw on cheese and all the vegetables for good measure.

[connorathensarchive]

I always use that cheat to make sure they don’t starve to death or stink to where flies are swarming around them. That’s smart, I’ve just never thought about it I guess. Yeah, it’s been sort of dead and everyone could hangout again like old times. It’d be nice. 

[acegalionarchive]

Every once in a while I decide to be cruel and drag them down though, it's another easy way to kill someone if you don't give them access to food. Huh, I've been too busy with baseball and video games to really take notice, but now that you've said it, it is pretty quiet around here. Maybe this weekend or next I'll try to throw something together.
