Greyson, I’m not even sure what that’s supposed to mean.

Subject: Seriously?

Read between the lines, Calvin. And why are you emailing me this? Wouldn’t it be easier to text? Grey.

Subject: Still don’t have a clue. Sorry.

Grey. I’m not texting because I had already composed the email. And last time I checked, I was a guy—and one that gets concussions on a regular basis. You need to spell it out for me. - Cal

Subject: Forget I said anything.

Cal,

I’m not in the mood to explain myself. Maybe some other time.





Cal: This is going to get ridiculous if we don’t talk.

Grey: What’s going to get ridiculous?

Cal: You know what? Never mind. I’m not playing games with you.

Grey: Time. Out. Why are you being so stubborn about this? I don’t know what flipped your switch, but you need to explain it. Answer me, Calvin.

Cal: You’re right. I’m sorry. You’re my friend, and it was an * thing to do, and I’m sorry.

Grey: I like you, Calvin. I think you’re sexy and handsome and funny. Accept it and move on. And stop being an ass.

Cal: Have you always been this bossy?

Grey: Yes.

Cal: I like it.

Grey: I know you do. Why do you think I’m acting so bossy?

Subject: Not that kind of trim work

Greyson. Going home this weekend to help my dad do some landscaping. My mom gets all weird about having all the shrubs and flower beds weeded and cut down before it gets cold out, so… just wanted to let you know. My folks get pissed when I’m constantly checking my phone. Disrespectful and all that shit. – Cal

Subject: TWO WHOLE DAYS?

Calvin,

So what you’re saying is, you don’t want me to feel bad when you’re MIA for a few days? Aww, that’s sweet. Very considerate to let me know. I will admit that I have gotten used to talking with you during the day. Well, not “talking,” but you get my point. Does your sister have to partake in this landscaping torture, too?

Subject: Evil Mastermind

Grey. Yes, everyone will be there. My parents are Equal Opportunity Sadists. But Tabby (aka: the smart one in this case) will throw a fit at some point and pick a fight so my mom yells and kicks her out of the yard. IT’S SO UNFAIR. She’s a genius. - Cal

Subject: Why should Tabitha have all the fun?

Calvin,

Maybe you should beat her to it. Where are you from originally, anyway? I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it. My parents moved this summer from Lake Walton to another little lake community just south called Six Rivers. It’s also a resort town, but there’s tons to do there, which is a nice change. Lake Walton was pretty small—the closest Target was a day trip. Grey





Cal: You did NOT say Six Rivers.

Grey: Yes, why?

Cal: Take a wild guess.

Grey: SHUT UP. No way.

Cal: Yes way. Well, next town over. 20 minutes on a bad day.

Grey: There is NO WAY you live near where I live.

Grey: You know what this means, don’t you?!

Cal: That we can be best friends and do karate in the garage?

Grey: crickets That made absolutely no sense.

Cal: Never mind. It’s from a movie. LOL. Tell me what you were going to say before when you said, “You know what this means, don’t you?” and I so rudely made a movie reference.

Grey: Well, besides you being hopelessly clueless, this means we can be buddies during summer and the holidays and hang out! We can have drinks at that bar near the lake.

Cal: Sully’s on the Lake? It’s not near the lake, it’s ON the lake. LOL

Grey: See. This is why we need to hang out when we’re home.

Cal: What are the odds?

Grey: It’s fate.

Cal: Oh…. boy.

Grey: You can show me the sights. We can float on the lake.

Cal: Did you say FLOAT on the lake?

Grey: Yeah, you know, on rafts?

Cal: Ah, okay. So, literally floating. Will this floating require bathing suits?

Grey: Not necessarily.

Cal: Are you flirting with me?

Grey: I think it’s really sad you can’t tell when a girl is flirting with you. But since you asked, I wouldn’t dare. Remember the last time I tried that? #epicfail #sexybeast #angrycalvin Cal: Fine. But in my defense, no one has ever called me sexy. I thought you were being a bitch.

Grey: You are LYING. How is that possible?
