Chereads / Missent / Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

UNKNOWN: My name is Chase Harrington.

MACIE: Like that actor from that new superhero film that got all the young girls crazy according to Entertainment Today?

UNKNOWN: Yeah. They say I look like him too.

MACIE: Wow. Good for you, I guess?

MACIE: Well, pleased to meet you, Chase Harrington.

UNKNOWN: Pleased to meet you too, Marceline Conway.

UNKNOWN: Do you have something against Chase the actor, by any chance?

MACIE: Not really. I just don't like boys who are too good looking. They tend to be players who break lots of hearts.

UNKNOWN: You're stereotyping and being prejudiced against men who are better looking than some. You know that, right?

MACIE: Maybe.

MACIE: But you can't really blame me since I've met a handful of them and they all turned out to be the same.

MACIE: Anyway, what about school? Are you still studying or are you already working?

UNKNOWN: I didn't go to college, I went straight to work after I graduated from high school a few years ago.

UNKNOWN: I wanted to have the whole college experience though...

MACIE: Why can't you go to college now? Does your work demand all your time?

UNKNOWN: Sometimes.

MACIE: That must suck.

UNKNOWN: There are times when it does.

UNKNOWN: Maybe if I'm no longer too busy, I'll enroll for a class or something...

MACIE: You should, if you really want to. Life's too short to spend it pondering on the "what ifs" and the "shoulda, woulda, coulda".

MACIE: But, you know, college parties are overrated so you're not really missing much.

MACIE: I guess. Maybe.

MACIE: I don't really know. I haven't been to one.

UNKNOWN: WHAT?!

UNKNOWN: You haven't been to a college party? Why?

UNKNOWN: Isn't that like a requirement to graduate or something?

UNKNOWN: Are your grades okay? I worry about you...

MACIE: Haha. You're funny.

UNKNOWN: You think so too, huh? ;)

MACIE: Hey, Chase?

UNKNOWN Yeah?

MACIE: They said we can go inside the apartment building now...

UNKNOWN: Will you be okay?

MACIE: Yeah. I'm just a little scared. What if the fire took all that I have left?

UNKNOWN: You know, life's too short to spend it pondering on the "what ifs"

MACIE: Whoever said that is a genius. :)

UNKNOWN: I think so too. :)

UNKNOWN: Text me right after you've made it inside?

UNKNOWN: I want to make sure you're okay.

MACIE: Okay. I will.
