can't be tamed

Hey I'm Nate, don't even try calling me Nathaniel. Some things won't change. These days, I'm more commonly referred to as "Coyne." Why? Because I'm at the bottom of the surgical food chain. You've probably read about me in the gossip pages, but that doesn't give you the right to judge me or my life. These days - I don't have time for the headlines. People change. I've come a long way since Degrassi. I just graduated at the top of my class from Harvard Medical School - and I'm in my first year surgical internship at Toronto Memorial Hospital. I fly solo - nothing has changed. Guess I'm married to my job though I do enjoy bedding the nurses Will is still alive - he lives in New York - I try and get back as much as I can.

And now you can appreciate it. (Never said that I personally did it, genius. Some of 'em get really desperate over the years, though. Calm the boner, dude. Yeah, we all get it, you'd give half of the money in your goddamn bank account to get in bed with her. Hm, you're right about that. No wonder her and Everleigh were together all the time.) Commitment is stupid. We're still relatively young, who needs it? People don't change, especially ones like her. (Honestly not sure.)

Old crushes die hard I guess. ;) I can control myself ya know. Wasn't there lesbian rumors about the two of them at one point? Plenty of hot women in Toronto. Why commit to just one? It's gonna be a good summer bro. Eh. We probably won't even see the high school kids around. It's a big city. How hard can it be to avoid Charlotte, Julian, Everleigh and Valli?

Holy shit it really is high school all over again...

How kind of you, Nathaniel. Did you really? Hmm. Interesting. I guess we are, Coyne. You’re welcome ;)

I'm the kindest. That kid brother of yours isn't going to jump out from behind a bush and stab me for talking to you is he? We should be Red ;) I did make countless attempts to bond with you during our Harvard years. But alas, you just wanted me for the free coffee. Heard you're getting married? You should be disappointed - I was the best sex you never had.

[its-nate-blog]

I imagine they're looking for something "steady" or whatever, too. God, I still can't do that. Again, too much information. I think she's still somewhere in the city. Last time I talked to her, she was thinking of opening up a coffee place. ( I was also some juiced out thing. That was a kind of important fact.) Drinking it is. Drinking is fun. And, unlike the last time we went drinking, it's legal.

Yeah I can't do commitment either. Just too selfish - I guess? Whatever. It's easier this way. I'm married to my job. I have to be. Opening up a coffee place? Sounds about right, that girl was always high off of caffeine. True. Noted. You reckon it would have made a difference if you weren't? Legal drinking is never as much fun - but we can give it a shot. I'm keen.

And this is the first of many reminders that I owe you. I made you the best tailback Degrassi'd seen in years. (They were so much easier in high school. You bought them a ticket to one of those lame dancens, some flowers, and some chocolate and they were head over fucking heels. He doesn't seem like such a little bitch anymore, though. Damn, the ginger girl. So hot. Too bad most of us were scared of her. Valli, hah- I remember her. She had nice tits in high school.)

Yeah, Yeah. ;) Natural talent and you working my ass into the ground. I went months not drinking for that shit. I don't remember you buying Charlotte a ticket to a dance or flowers or chocolate. Or did you mean girls in general? Because eh. They tend to not care so much about being fucked around now that they're older. Yeah he seems alright. Everleigh is fuck, I can't even. I think the scary is half of the hold she has over me. I saw her a few times at Harvard. That asshole she's marrying better know what he's got, y'know? Yeah her tits were always nice...but, I don't know. She's got a mouth on her. Never noticed before.

Cute, Nate. Every part, actually. Guessing you’re still into redheads? ;)

I don't discriminate based on hair color. Besides, I thought we were friends? ;) 

[everleightorres-deactivated2016]

Holy shit it really is high school all over again...

[its-nate-blog]

Which part? ;)

[its-nate-blog]

Sounds like your fucking dreams, Nate. You’ve probably got girl in line to get laid. (Things were complicated, you asshole.) WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION. It still gets under my skin that you fucker her. Of all people- Frankie. Surprised she didn’t try to bite off your dick or something.

Yeah you would think that - but I value my job and some of these women just make it awkward. Yeah. So complicated. She liked you. Why would she bite it? She liked it too much. ;) I have tomorrow off. We should drink. Or something. I'll help you move your shit in. 

[its-nate-blog]

Gladly. You’re finally at the bottom? That is probably the best thing I’ve heard in years. Have fun being someone’s medical slave. Barely graduated, thank you very much. But, since I couldn’t go to Penn State and just play football (Hell, I couldn’t play the first year), I had to major in something. Kinesiology is pretty much a ticket to coaching, so why not? (I can’t argue with that. So glad she’s not too pissed at me. Ha, Goldsworthy!? HE’S HERE TOO? Shit, this is high school all over again.)

Fuck you too. I've changed. Sort of. Well - the apartment you're moving into is still awesome. So...at least you'll benefit from my "top dog" status, asshole. You'd make an alright Coach. Hell you turned me into something didn't you? Yeah she seems not too pissed at you at all. Women. I don't understand them at all. Yeah he's here. I think he's the reason Charlotte's back. They're still tight from what I've gathered. Everleigh (STILL THE GODDESS FROM MY KINKIEST DREAMS)and Valli are around too. Valli kinda got hot...

[its-nate-blog]

And yeah, roommates it is.

Right on Bro. It's gonna be a hell of a summer.

[its-nate-blog]

You're a doctor? Excuse me while I laugh my way to the grave. My mom? Fuck you. Anything else and I'll shove my fist down your throat. (Pretty sure she does. Damn, she still looks the same.) Pretty sure it is. I should say it too, but... nah. Fall in love with you? You're still a conceited bastard. Not everyone falls in love with you, fucker. And my evidence on that is Frankie Novak. Remember her?

Get fucked - you knew I was smart. Whatever. Right now, I'm at the bottom of the food chain - but I suffered through medical school so at least that torture is over. Now I just have to suffer through being treated like an idiot for the next few years. Being an intern blows. This year, will be hell. What about you, Mr  Kinesiology? Who would have thought you'd graduate? Guess there must have been a brain hiding somewhere after all. Fuck, I missed messing with you. Char? Yeah...I think she's actually hotter now. Guess when you're in the public eye, you gotta be right? Seems the same though. Judging by her conversation with Goldsworthy. Still a feisty one. She seems okay with you, maybe I should attempt a Hi. Love you too man. Please. You haven't met these intern chicks okay? Do you know how many hours we log at the hospital? It's like I'm the only dick they see. How could I forget Frankie? While you were off being weird with Charlotte, She couldn't get enough of me. ;)

Dated her way, way back when. First love, first everything. We still talk very occasionally. Haven’t seen Abigail in years though. I assume Will’s in New York, then? You’re right, though, she did get her peace in some twisted way. 

Last time I checked, I graduated high school years ago. But yeah, yeah, you gained your brownie points. Surprised you went through with it, actually. Weren’t you head over heels in love with Jenny Brooks? Convinced she was your guardian angel or something of the sort? Huh, well that’s good. Remind me not get myself sent to the ER then. Who knows, you might purposefully sew me up the wrong way, just to fuck with me.

Oh Grace - right. Suddenly it all makes sense, I vaguely remember Charlotte, crying to me about her one day. You know, back when we were friends and she didn't hate me for not telling her about Milligan and the steroids. She over that or what? Because I don't want to say hi, if I'm likely to get my head bitten off. Will is still in New York - I decided to do something a bit different, by coming here. I prefer the anonymity. Hospitals aren't exactly a good place to attract the wrong sort of attention. 

Jenny was a good friend of mine. Still is actually. We went through a lot together. She was an angel of sorts. My ass definitley didn't deserve her. See now - that could be fun. I do miss fucking with you, Goldsworthy. It's been awhile since I had a worthwhile adversary.

I just spent the last few years in Pennsylvania, and I never want to go back. Just your luck, I'm back in Toronto. My mom sort of... begged. I think the nerd's back, too. (I know exactly who you're talking about, bro. It's... scary.) I miss having someone who's bearable on the good days around me.

Pennsylvania huh? Fuck that. I've been in Boston though - Harvard Med, so I can't bitch you out too much. It's not much better. I'm interning at Toronto Memorial. Your mom is still a babe, I ran into her the other day - she says I got even more handsome ;) Seems everyone is back, even a certain Broadway star. I wonder if she still hates us? Milligan, is this the part where I say, I love you too man? I'm looking for a roommate still if you're interested. One of the other interns offered, but I can't live with a chick. She'd probably...I don't know. Fall in love with me or something.

[its-nate-blog]

Just saying, I'm taking credit for starting the whole "Coyne" thing.

Yeah, Yeah. You know it. Where'd you crawl out from bro? Tell me you're back in Toronto, because it's seriously being taken over by...well the people I didn't like so much in high school and I could use somebody around that doesn't hate my guts. I miss my Wingman.

It’s in the Thompson genes. Beauty is completely effortless for them. Abigail still plays guitar, though? Well, that’s nice. If you see her, tell her Julian says hello. Understandable… It’s cool. I think we all sort of saw it coming. Bek was never really stable, to say the least, or very reasonable. Not that I’m not sad about it. After all, she was still my little cousin. But yeah. Thanks, I guess.

Really? Nice… Just going to ignore that. Life for me is just great. NYU graduate, interning at a publishing company. Nothing huge. You, Coyne?

How do you know Grace? She does play, she's pretty good. I will - It probably won't be for awhile though. I live in Toronto now. Yeah...she was definitley- I'm just glad that she got her peace. Your welcome. 

It was a joke. We're not in high school anymore right? Besides. I orchestrated Jenny and Aaron didn't I? I backed out quietly? That had to earn me some points. Just graduated from Harvard Medical School. I'm a surgical intern at Toronto Memorial. Which is basically the bottom of the food chain - but it's how it has to be. I do a lot of stitches and pass residents a lot of tools. 

[fckyeahtimmy]

[its-nate-blog]

Wow, really small world. Abigail Thompson, huh? She was always sweet. Good for Will. I’m glad he’s finally… better now. And moved on from Bek and what not. Good for him.

Yeah she's a sweet girl. Hot too. They sit around playing guitar together. He's...yeah.The guilt ate him up for a long time, but Abi just sort of happened at the right time I guess. I mean, we both know how I felt about Bek - but, I mean... Sorry for your loss, or whatever.

What's life like for Goldpussy (It's a joke. I couldn't resist.) post high school? 

[fckyeahtimmy]

[its-nate-blog]

Hi, Coyne…? Yeah, her name’s Grace. Why?

Hi, Goldsworthy...? Small world it seems. Thompson yeah? Will's been dating Abi, for the last two years. 

[fckyeahtimmy]

[its-nate-blog]

Always was. So out of my league. So, so out of my league. Not that her new boyfriend is any better, but I guess she’s one for an underdog.

.....Is that chick's name Grace?
