(12:38:22 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Hey.
(12:40:24 AM) Jake Martin: Elijah Goldsworthy, what do I owe this pleasure?
(12:41:22 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: You owe our physics teacher for making us partners :P
(12:41:50 AM) Jake Martin: Oh right, that guy.
(12:43:12 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Yeah, that guy. We need to figure out how this partnership is going to work.
(12:43:31 AM) Jake Martin: You talk like it's going to be hard.
(12:43:52 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: It won't be?
(12:44:25 AM) Jake Martin: I hope not. Okay, so. You do realize it's almost two in the morning, yes?
(12:44:54 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: I realize that, yeah. But you were online and I was bored.
(12:45:15 AM) Jake Martin: How did you even get my IM?
(12:45:34 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: I have sources.
(12:45:57 AM) Jake Martin: Because that totally doesn't sound creepy.
(12:46:30 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: People think I'm a creepy kid anyway. Why not live up to it, hmm?
(12:47:34 AM) Jake Martin: So I have to live up to my lumberjack potential? Dang.
(12:48:07 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Lately I've heard you were hugging trees more than cutting them down.
(12:48:43 AM) Jake Martin: Someone's got to save the world.
(12:49:28 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: One school garden at a time.
(12:49:49 AM) Jake Martin: I feel like you're mocking me but I'll just ignore it because I'm too tired to care.
(12:50:14 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: I'm not, I swear. It's actually cool.
(12:50:35 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Why are you awake, then?
(12:51:09 AM) Jake Martin: I guess you could say I've got a lot on my mind.
(12:51:22 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Care to share?
(12:51:52 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: We don't really know each other that well but I'm good at listening usually.
(12:52:02 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: And I don't gossip.
(12:52:45 AM) Jake Martin: You know her.
(12:53:07 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Clare?
(12:53:19 AM) Jake Martin: That would be correct.
(12:54:09 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: What's the problem? Weren't you two together a few weeks ago?
(12:55:11 AM) Jake Martin: She and I broke up, actually. Before winter break.
(12:55:36 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Oh. Sorry, I didn't know. That sucks.
(12:56:11 AM) Jake Martin: Sucks doesn't even begin to describe it. But I guess you of all people would understand.
(12:56:53 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Ha, yeah. I understand.
(12:56:59 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: I wish I didn't.
(12:57:27 AM) Jake Martin: You know, you're not so bad.
(12:58:15 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: You aren't so bad, either.
(12:58:27 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Sorry I've been such a dick.
(12:59:37 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: You really didn't do anything to deserve it.
(1:00:48 AM) Jake Martin: It's alright.
(1:01:17 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Alright. Yeah, this partnership won't be so hard.
(1:01:28 AM) Jake Martin: What do we have to do anyway?
(1:02:25 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Build a small bridge that can hold a weight or something to that affect.
(1:08:39 AM) Jake Martin: I really hate school.
(4:10:08 AM) Elijah Goldsworthy: Me too.
