Trying my best

20 years old. Part-time choreographer for the Bennington Community Theatre and training to be a nurse at B-Tech. I dance and I go to school and I don't have much time to do anything else.

[ella-renthorpe]

Marty.. would’ve told me.. but.. I guess.. well how in the——never mind, just——just forget it, don’t be sorry, you didn’t do anything. And I guess technically, neither did Blaise but.. whatever, not a big deal.

[farahasghar]

Maybe he didn't want to upset you or anything. If it means anything, you have a right to be upset at the two of them for not telling you.

[kane-asghar]

I know you just started school so I’m going to attribute the lack of being in the loop to that. But uh..yeah. I broke up with Jake so..I moved back home.

[farahasghar]

I'm sorry, Kane. I know my apology means virtually nothing, but still. I shouldn't disappear from your radar like that anyways. 

[steph-mendoza]

How can I say no to that? I’ll bring over a couple movies for us to choose from.

[farahasghar]

You're a doll. Now update me on you, Steph, have you gotten married in my absence? Obtained a Masters Degree? Saved the pandas from extinction? 

[jake-christensen]

Uh… yeah. It’s fine. I’m fine.

[farahasghar]

Alright, don't close up on me now. I only ask because no one's really told me anything, not that it's really any of my business I guess...

[amy--harrison]

I am, yes. Break past your stubbornness and get your car fixed. You kind of need it around this town. Though it’s sort of paradoxical for me to say considering I’ve been biking all these years.

[farahasghar]

You and Jordan, always surprising me with your health conscious travel decisions. I wish I were as brave as you.

[noahxpearce]

That sounds more fortunate than unfortunate if you ask me. I’m pretty sure Blaise won’t mind giving you a hook up that won’t break your pockets too much. Just beware, he might try and trap you and bring it up in the future that you owe him one. 

[farahasghar]

Yeah, you're probably right on both accounts. But I think Blaise owes me too many IOU's at this point for him to hold anything against me. I'd like to think I hold a fair amount of blackmail in this town to get by.

[ella-renthorpe]

I was.. actually.. talking about my pal Marty.. wait, Blaise-Blaise? I think you got your facts a little mixed up.. he doesn’t even have a high school diploma.

[farahasghar]

I, um... fuck. Well, from what I know, they hired Blaise a while back as well. Even offered to fix my car for me. I'm sorry, I thought you already knew or I wouldn't have brought it up.

[ella-renthorpe]

Uh.. Jackass? Sometimes Dufus. Depends on what mood he puts me in. Works at the shop just up the street that way.

[farahasghar]

I think I know exactly who you're talking about. But I was really expecting some harsher words for Blaise, if I'm going to be honest.

[ella-renthorpe]

Well, from what I know about menopause, I guess I will go ahead and say I’m fuckin thankful I don’t have a trained musical ear like yours.

I have a friend who is…. decent with cars.

[farahasghar]

I didn't ask for such a talent, instead bestowed upon me was more like it.

By what title does this friend go by?

[noahxpearce]

You don’t sound too confident so I think either way, fixing it or driving it, it’s all downhill from here.

[farahasghar]

Your optimism is simply overwhelming. Hopefully it isn't literally downhill because my car doesn't do too well on steep inclines. I'd say flirting with the mechanic would still be an option, but unfortunately I already know both of them.

[steph-mendoza]

It happens to everyone. I wasn’t upset with you but you’re still forgiven. 

[farahasghar]

You're too good to me, Mendoza. What do you say to a movie night? I will provide snacks.

[jake-christensen]

True. Well, I can’t help you much. You should ask Marty, though. He should be able to help you and maybe you wouldn’t have to pay too much.

[farahasghar]

You're probably right. I only know of two mechanics in this town, but they are vastly different people. Listen, Jake, this isn't really related but is everything... doing okay?

[amy--harrison]

A good friend of mine works at the Mechanic shop. He’d give you a fair price even if it means just taking a look.

[farahasghar]

Are you talking about Marty? I don't doubt that he would, and I can only stay stubborn for so long. I'm sure our paths will cross eventually.

[kane-asghar]

That would probably make my year. Please do it.

But in all seriousness, I missed you. I uh… moved back home.

[farahasghar]

You-- What? Why? Fuck how do I keep missing these things. 

[stokes-wyatt]

A solid maybe is always better then an.. Eh.

[farahasghar]

What can I say? I pride myself in my limited optimism. 

[blaise-whitaker-blog]

Alright look, let me take a look at your car, see what I can do. It might not be as bad as you think it is. And if it is bad, I’ll see if I can get some discount parts for you. As far as labor payment goes…a beer and a chat would be nice.

[farahasghar]

You've got a heart of gold, Blaise. A beer and a chat would be more than nice, you can come over to mine and we can sit around and talk.

[coleman-jordan-deactivated20150]

Bennington’s not huge, I can walk most places.  And if I can’t I can beg Finn or someone.

[farahasghar]

Adorable. A boyfriend and a taxi, a two for one deal.
