Tada! It's just Adam.

Hey there! Adam Hamada here, 18, Senior at Oakvale. [not Harry Shum Jr. or Tadashi Hamada. I also don't make any of my own gifs. ]

[adam-hamada]

I think I perpetually smell like coffee. wow.

[adam-hamada]

School got you down?

Free dessert with coffee today! I made the scones. They aren’t great, buuuut...

Aunt Cass has me working a double. Come say hey!

[adam-hamada]

TEXT || ADAM -> EVERLIE

Adam: Those are some great kids. I mean, I did get bitten once, but she apologized, so it's totally cool.

Adam: Did they have fun? I don't actually know how I am with kids so it was a new experience for me.

[iknowsomanylesslucky]

I think I’m going to need a tutor for history or at the very least a study partner. There’s just so much to catch up on when I’ve barely learnt any American History. 

I’d exchange it for French lessons if you wanted or I could maybe pay you.

[adam-hamada]

Hey there...I'm not sure we've met. I'm Adam, Adam Hamada. I am pretty adequate at history and I would be more than willing to help you out. No payment necessary, however if you like coffee or that sort of thing, I'd ask that maybe you'd go to the Coffee Pit sometimes, I'm sure my aunt would really appreciate the business. Also if you need any help with science or math ever, I can help there too. I like school, I know that's kinda weird.

That's so interesting! Maybe some vocabulary or something? It wouldn't hurt to learn new things... Also, I know I'm probably talking your ear off, but I've lived in Oakvale pretty much my whole life so if you ever need anything just let me know!

[ezra-green]

So that’s how Oakvale does football! You guys do not mess around. The marching band was great, the cheerleaders, our team…If I hadn’t decided it before, I am now — I love being a Dragon! 

[adam-hamada]

Glad to have you. Don't think we've met. I'm Adam Hamada and if you every need anything...and I mean it. Just give me a shout, alright?

[adam-hamada]

TEXT | Everlie ⇆ Adam

Everlie: Well there's nine of mine, and I'll have to ask Cassia how many there are of hers. But I'd say like, close to twenty. Maybe a little more.

Everlie: Definitely in the evening. That's when the lights are. But I'll get back to you on the specifics.

Everlie: So I take it that's a yes?

Adam: I can certainly see why you need help. Dang, Everlie, that's a lot of kids.

Adam: It's a yes. I'll help.

[adam-hamada]

TEXT | Everlie ⇆ Adam

Adam: I'll certainly see what I can do. What's up?

Everlie: How would you like to escort a bunch of ankle-biters through Walker Park for Christmas? Me and Cassia kind of want to take our foster siblings and they can experience it all together. The only problem is the two of us wouldn't be able to handle them all.

Adam: It sounds like the dream, really...I don't really know. How many of them are there?

Adam:...what time?

[adam-hamada]

TEXT | Everlie ⇆ Adam

Everlie: Psssssst. I need your help with something.

Everlie: No, it's not illegal.

Adam: I'll certainly see what I can do. What's up?

[rainstormandriver]

Really? That’s so sweet. I would love another green tea, thank you.

I really appreciate the offer but I don’t think I need any help. I’m not going to stress about it right now. We have time, and like you said, he has time to redeem himself. I just like getting an early start is all… But I think I’m just going to put the project away for the night and talk to Jonah about it tomorrow between classes or something. If you wanna just sit and chat though, I definitely wouldn’t say no.

[adam-hamada]

It's not a problem. Coming right up.

It's kind of dead, I'm sure Aunt Cass wouldn't hate me if I spared a minute. How've you been, Skye? I mean...besides the whole runaway english partner ordeal?

[rainstormandriver]

What?! Seriously? I was in the middle of a conversation with him! We were talking about approaches for our Shakespeare seminar! I was in the middle of telling him about my idea for what we should do and when I looked back at where he was sitting across from me, he was gone. Impossible, ugh.

It’s okay, Adam. At least some boys have the decency to apologize, like you. Are you doing okay? I’m apparently free now for the evening so if you need any help unloading or anything, I’m your girl!

[adam-hamada]

That really sucks, I'm so sorry. I know that project is worth a lot. If you need any help, maybe I can help you get started? I know he's supposed to help you but there's still plenty of time for him to get a bit more responsible...and I don't mind it.

It's not something that's fun to deal with...I know. And I'm doing fine...just finished with everything actually, but I sincerely appreciate the help. Do you want a drink or something? On the house? I know this is probably really stressful for you.

[rainstormandriver]

Um… Did anybody see where Jonah went and/or when he left The Coffee Pit? 

Boys have no patience or appreciation for anything.

[adam-hamada]

No idea. Maybe ten fifteen minutes? I was in the back. I'm not totally sure.

Sorry, Skye.

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[ive-sworn-off-manhandling]

I’d better if I wasn’t stuck working in a restaurant that I swear doesn’t even need to employ me. Bored doesn’t cover it any more.

You helping out at the Pit any time this week? I might have to miss the odd shift for an English project and I’d be eternally grateful if you’d cover one of mine.

[adam-hamada]

At least they're paying you to be bored, huh?

Not a problem, Cassia. Just let me know when you find out, alright?

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[everlie-saybrook]

Oh, believe me, I know the trash-sweep struggle, my friend. I’d rather be ripping tickets every day of my life, but thanks for the offer. 

[adam-hamada]

Hah. Fair Enough. Can't blame a guy for trying.

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[positivelyprimeval]

Alright, I’ll exercise a little more right now just to make sure I have a full understanding: it’s been a blast talking to you. Now go tinker away.

[adam-hamada]

I intend to. Have a fantastic evening, Charlie.

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[positivelyprimeval]

Alright, Tinker Bell, I don’t need your charity. I’m just going to buy myself a new car. That Ferrari was a piece of shit. I don’t understand nice people like you. How do you still possess the naivety to be kind to people? Maybe you should make a little project out of sticking one of your spark plugs up your ass to try and lighten up.

[adam-hamada]

I figured you'd probably be doing that. I wouldn't really consider it charity, but more of a fun new project, a challenge, if you will. I think it's called common courtesy. But anyway, I'll keep that in mind and perhaps you'll do a bit better at detecting sarcasm since you seem to dish it out so well.

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[everlie-saybrook]

Groaning because it’s Sunday which means tomorrow’s Monday. Plus, I’ve been ripping ticket stubs all afternoon. But you already knew that. 

[adam-hamada]

That I did. If your ticket ripping muscles ever get tired, just let me know. I totally would have traded your for today. I could make a small mountain out of the stuff I swept up out of 12, 4, and 9. Gotta love kid's movies.

[adam-hamada]

Hey Guys!

[positivelyprimeval]

I’m playing the cello over an audiobook of Byron poems and drinking blood I had imported from Transylvania. 

So I’m well.

[adam-hamada]

Well Charlie, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. That sounds like an interesting way to spend an evening.

Oh, and I heard about your car. If you like maybe I can take a look at it later.I can add something to the interior to get rid of the blind spots so that way you can avoid bridges in the future.
