==» John: Walk with Dave to his locker

As you all exit you take the same route as Dave as the two of you begin your regular post-rehearsal chats. In the past you've learned that you two seem to have little in common yet somehow you mesh perfectly. You figure there's some kind of cool-dweebspectrumomoter and its perfectly balanced by his immense awesomeness and your super dweebliness. It's gotten to the point where you look forward to your chats at the end of the day. You feel like it's the point in time where you get to most genuinely see Dave and you like that. A lot.

"...No, no I'm sorry no, I don't care how fucking awesome flaming skulls are, Nicolas Cage can make the coolest things awful. He is the only man on the planet who could make flaming skulls, satan, and a Ducati not cool." he says.

"Nuh-uh! He's amazing! Have you seen Con Air? Have you? Don't even pretend you didn't bawl your eyes out so hard you puked your gummy bears up at the end of that movie! Don't even pretend!" you tell him.

"I... what? First of all, ew. Second of all I actually haven't seen that one." he tells you.

"You kidding me? Con Air, '97, classic!" you tell him.

"So if it was made back in '97 does that mean at that point in time his face actually fucking moved?" Dave asks with his witty cool irony.

"That's it. I don't care how or when or whatever the fuck but we are watching it some time and you'll like it." you tell him.

"Doubt it." he says with a snort.

You two reach his locker. He opens it and you don't know how but he somehow crammed a portable turntable and some of those fancy small speakers in there, like he'll just need them at some point. There's also about twenty cheap swords in there. You wonder if he actually keeps books in there.

You notice a picture you've never seen before.

"Hey, who's that?" you ask, pointing to a picture of a pretty troll in the door.

"Oh that? That's my girlfriend." he says it like it is the most fucking normal and mundane thing ever. Which, in reality it is but it doesn't feel like that to you. You're pretty sure you feel your heart sinking to your feet.

"You have a girlfriend? I mean. Of course you have a girlfriend." You say trying to play it off all cool and aloof like which you were pretty sure you failed at. Even so, Dave is kind enough not to say anything if he noticed. Either that or he really is clueless.

He smiles, "Yeah. She's nice. You know her. Cheerio. President of the Celibacy Club." he says.

"Yeah. Right. Who doesn't know her. Duh. Duh. Haha. Oh man. Ohhh man I just remembered I'm late for a water balloon fight with my Nanna gotta go bye." and with that you trot off. Because if you weren't giving off odd vibes before, that would entirely alleviate it.
