I'll have spent one day out there

I'll have spent one day out there Jett Whaley. Just turned eighteen. In my first/last year at Oakvale High. I can't hear you.

callmejwhales: I don’t know if this is usually how high school sets look but...

Henry: I went through some shit. Like "got shipped off to Europe for two years because of it" shit.

Henry: Which didn't help, cus Europe just had a bunch of new shit. Mainly in the form of girls who turned out a lot crazier than I thought they were

Jett: I wondered why you stopped showing up at galas and board meetings.

Jett: That has to be bad. I don't really get how rich families stereotypically work, but as far as I can tell from the books I've read getting shipped off to Europe is pretty bad. As far as stereotypical rich family punishment.

Everlie: ??? I'm taking strong offense to the fact that I'm only learning this now. So use those keys and take a cutie of your choice to the top of the tallest building with the gorgeousest view in all of Walker Park. And boom. Your first date.

Jett: It's not usually something that comes up. When's the last time you met someone like "Hey, nice to met you, heard you have a rich ass uncle"?

Jett: Actually that seems like something you'd do, never mind.

Everlie: 1) I'm a little scared to ask how you have that power. 2) OF COURSE. They wouldn't put it in stupid teen movies if we didn't. At least I think. I've never really had one of those. Tbh, my idea of a date is getting free food and making out. But I've totally had the playground date fantasy.

Jett: My uncle is hella rich, he owns like, almost all of Walker Park. I'm not supposed to have key access, but what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him.

Henry: Yeah, sorry about that. Things - I'm different.

Henry: But I could try to make more of an effort.

Jett: I mean, I guess it's fine, I just wondered.

Jett: How are things "different"?

“Thank you, I’ve been dancing for years but it’s still nice to hear a compliment. I still don’t think my acting is up to par but it’s all for a bit of fun really.”

“Oh it’s not really the sort of thing you can understand that easily, I could try to explain it to you?”

[jettwhaley]

“If you don’t mind, that’d be awesome. I didn’t read a lot of important things until I started real school, Shakespeare’s pretty lost on me.”

“But I bet you explain it well.”

Everlie: WOW, FUCK YOU. You almost made me feel bad. =P

Everlie: So start getting out! There are plenty of girls who totally dig that "cool, mysterious" vibe that you unintentionally give off.

Jett: Do plenty of girls actually like dates like in stupid teen movies where you just go to playgrounds at night or hang out on top of buildings? That I can do, I'm really good at having roof access to places I shouldn't.

“Yes, I’ve been trying my best to get to know people here and the play seemed like the best way. I haven’t seen you around, I guess I need to be more observant.”

[jettwhaley]

“It’s alright. I work on the set, things like that. You’re really good. I can tell from the way you move.”

“I read the play, I don’t fully get it, but you dance really well.”

[iknowsomanylesslucky]

“Jett! I didn’t realise you were here today too but I’m glad for the company.”

“I don’t actually remember him seeing, maybe we could set it out on that beautiful oak table?”

[jettwhaley]

“No problem.”

“You’re in the play, right? I see you at rehearsal sometimes.”

Everlie: I can confirm that Maude has not been on a date since 1993. And yes, she loves anything that grows out of the ground.

Everlie: But wait, you've never been on a date?! How?!

Jett: Probably because I'm a poor conversationalist?

Jett: That was horrible, I'm honestly sorry.

Jett: But really, I don't get out much.

Everlie: !!!!!!!!

Everlie: Well then I will make sure she hauls her adorable widowed ass to the antique shop this week. Because she'll accept -- And if she doesn't, I'll make her accept.

Jett: He's gonna be so happy, I don't think he's been on a date in decades.

Jett: He's asking me for advice. Don't have the heart to tell him I've never been on a date. Does she like flowers?

[iknowsomanylesslucky]

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there. Is there something I can help you with?”

[jettwhaley]

“Sorry, just me.”

“Do you know where Hugo wants the new china? New old china, I guess.”

Jett: Look, you're the only person I know at this school and you haven't even said hi beyond a halfassed salute-wave-hello thing. I know we haven't talked in like 9 years but what's that about?

Text @ Everlie

Jett: Hugo wants a date with Maude. He's too nervous to ask so he's going through his employees now.

[rainstormandriver]

Did somebody hurt you at the Palladium? Were they ableist?

[jettwhaley]

What? 

No, I was hanging out with Everlie.

[everlie-saybrook]

Told you so! And you underestimated me. 

[jettwhaley]

Yeah, I guess I did.

Your signing is good too. And your popcorn.
