    “You wanna do something fun?” “No.”“You wanna do something fun?” “NO.”“Why not?”“Because your idea of fun isn’t.”“Isn’t what?”“Isn’t fun.” “C’mon.”“No.”“C’mon.”“NO.”“Really?”“Really. Whenever we go out, I end up regretting it.”“You don’t.”“I do.”“C’mon. Fun. Let’s go.” “I don’t want to do anything fun with you because you have the boundaries of a rabid dog.”“Thank you.”“Your idea of fun is breaking things. Rules. Society norms. Girls’ hearts. Curfew. On more than one occasion, windows.”“That’s not always true. Usually true, but not always true.”“You remember last time?”“Yes.”“That was a nightm...ioCone door
