half past five;

Mackenzie "Mac" Reid. 17. Single, alone, and discovering myself.

[claryxhayes-blog]

Much appreciated, darling.

Mm, next year, I think. If at all.

[mackenreid-blog]

Respect.

[claryxhayes-blog]

           I like to think I’m cooler than I seem.

It’s pretty great there, yeah.

[mackenreid-blog]

You are. Which is crazy, seeing as you seemed hella cool, right off the bat?

When are you going back?

[claryxhayes-blog]

Thank you!

         It’s this exclusive science program, took me ages to qualify for, so I jumped at the chance.

[mackenreid-blog]

     Damn. You’re secretly really awesome, aren’t you?

I take it back. The whole boarding school thing: not gross. Badass.

[claryxhayes-blog]

Ah, I got accepted into this academic program.

[mackenreid-blog]

Oh my god, that’s awesome!

Congrats on that!

[claryxhayes-blog]

Boarding school!

         ( she smiles brightly over at mac, before she nodded towards the door. ) Let’s.

[mackenreid-blog]

Gross. Why there?

[claryxhayes-blog]

It’s about damn time someone agreed with me!

Then let’s go, darling.

[mackenreid-blog]

Where have you been my entire life?

( she hooks her arm through clary’s. ) Let’s go.

[claryxhayes-blog]

That’s what I always say!

           But everyone insists that because it’s called Breadstix, it’s the only acceptable place to eat bread sticks at.

How do you feel about Olive Garden? They have the best bread sticks ever.

[mackenreid-blog]

I’ve had better tasting bricks.

Olive Garden is great.

[claryxhayes-blog]

…I would love to, actually.

[mackenreid-blog]

Awesome.

First thing, though, we need to pick a better restaurant. This one sells terrible bread sticks.

[claryxhayes-blog]

I’m used to it.

[mackenreid-blog]

That doesn’t make it any less sucky.

Want to be alone with a total stranger? I’ll pay for dinner, and we can complain about our loneliness and drink like we’re main characters in F.R.I.E.N.D.S.?

[claryxhayes-blog]

Yeah, that;s kind of… typical, I guess.

           I’m sorry, I’m okay, really.

  —- Clary.

[mackenreid-blog]

Yeah... me, too. 

       Okay.

I’m sorry you’re alone. 

[claryxhayes-blog]

Is it?

[mackenreid-blog]

On a scale of sort of sad to The Titanic... you’re at kicked puppy.

I’m Mac, by the way.

[claryxhayes-blog]

———- Well then, I guess it’s a good thing I’m alone, huh?

[mackenreid-blog]

I wouldn’t call it a good thing, actually.

It’s actually kind of sad.

[mackenreid-blog]

wilderhook:

Of course I’m sure. I love her.

That’s awesome. Then I stand behind you, 10000% of the way.

[mackenreid-blog]

wilderhook:

I’m gonna do it.

Whoa. You are? Seriously? Just like that?

You sure about this?

[mackenreid-blog]

wilderhook:

…Should I make a move?

You need to do something, Hook. Whether you make a move or not? That’s your choice. But she should have one, too.

[mackenreid-blog]

So, what you’re saying is, she shouldn’t date anyone. She should keep doing this thing with you, even though you’re totally not together and you still refuse to admit that you’re in love with her. That’s what you’re telling me right now.

[wilderhook-blog]

We have a good thing going – I don’t want to mess it up, Mac. Relationships can be great, but they get messy and friendships get destroyed and I don’t want that for her and me.

[mackenreid-blog]

And I get that. I think it’s awesome that you care enough to think about her that much. But she’s going to want something eventually. And if you don’t plan on making a move, I think she should keep her options open.

[mackenreid-blog]

    -———- No she shouldn’t!
