everett x ruby

[ruby anderson]

Ruby ok. was just curious.

[everett howe]

Everett It hasn't ever been like that. How are...things? School?

[ruby anderson]

Ruby it went from not knowing you two even knew each other, to you guys talk sometimes, to you're protective of her. so i didn't know.  i'm ok. school is school. what about you?

[everett howe]

Everett Why is it a bad thing that we talk? I mean I even knew her before chem. Good, good. Things are ok for me too, almost done with the first chapter of my dissertation. Busy with research mostly.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby i never said it was a bad thing. haha, the most everett thing ever to say. but i'm glad it's going ok for you.

[everett howe]

Everett Whenever it's mentioned it seems problematic or suspicious or something. But I don't have a friend group like your guys' so what do I know. Yeah well I didn't go changing suddenly after everything, haha. Maybe got a little grouchier.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby the problematic thing is that she ran to you to tell you issues between the three of us. that was weird. i don't care how close you two are. did you guys ever talk about me any other time? you can get grouchier? wow. shocked.

[everett howe]

Everett I promise I'm not trying to agitate. But...who else could she go to if she needed an outsider's perspective? I don't know, you guys sound like a fortress no one is allowed to leave. Haha yeah, luckily I'm not TAing. Still annoyed by undergrads though.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby oh my god. forget it. i don't wanna talk about this anymore. not surprised. same you. always scowling at us.

[everett howe]

Everett Okay. Sorry. You seem really sensitive about it.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby uh obviously?

[everett howe]

Everett Just call it even, Ruby. Everyone fucked up in some way.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby i have always owned that i messed up. i am not playing a victim. but sure. easier said than done. it still hurts.

[everett howe]

Everett Well I hope it hurts less eventually. If you guys stay friends, that's awesome. To answer your question, yeah we probably did talk about you in passing. I don't know, I thought it was normal.

[ruby anderson]

Ruby we will stay friends. i'm not giving up on the friendship. it's just going to take time. normally it's fine. but this just seems like you guys talked about me behind my back. and colt. i don't like that.
