Breakaway: Chapter 39
November 23rd
You’re right
I don’t understand. But I am sorry
CALLAHAN
Not like it’s your fault
No, but you deserve better
What you’ve done so far this season is incredible. If he can’t see that, then that’s his loss
Thanks, Red
<3

CALLAHAN
Dad decided that we all needed to go to Dallas to see James’ Thanksgiving game
I can take Tangy. It’ll just be me and Dad and takeout
November 26th
Happy Thanksgiving, Callahan
CALLAHAN
How are things with Coach?
It’s fine. Aside from the fact he keeps asking about school
He doesn’t know how bad I suck at science
Bit ironic for the girl who just shoved Ice Planet Barbarians at me
Shhh it’s all a fantasy anyway
No math required
Plus, you finished Twilight. What was I supposed to do?
Also… I have Tangerine pics
Gimme
I’ve been stuck listening to football talk all day
November 28th
I know I liked him best in the movies too but GOSH
SAM
WISE
I love him
CALLAHAN
Hobbit feet and all?
Don’t get me started
Dad is asking why the cat is named Tangy
I hate that you did that to me
She’s named that because of the Led Zeppelin song
You so did not mention that
Listen to it
“Tangerine”
It reminds me of you
And the cat?
December 2nd
I’m fucked
CALLAHAN
Not in a few days
No, seriously. I’m going to fail chemistry
Shit
I’m sorry, Pen
I just failed my re-take of the last test. The prof can’t help me anymore
Can I do anything? I’m getting a massage right now, but I can come over after
Ugh, I wish I could have a massage
I’ll give you one later. It’ll be okay, I promise.
I’m supposed to declare my major next semester. AND it’s supposed to be biology with a pre-med track
Your novel is awesome
CALLAHAN
Pen?
Ugh, don’t remind me. It was a waste of time, I should have been studying
COOPER
Not a waste of time. You’re really good at writing, I could totally tell it was your work
Because it was cringey
Because it was funny, and sort of weird, and you’re both
In a good way
The Callum character is me, right? I’ve always wanted to be a billionaire werewolf who gives really good head
At least the last part is already true
……..I regret everything
December 8th
I’m coming to the Vermont game
COOPER
Fuck
Red, it’s going to be so fucking hard to keep my hands off you
So don’t
But I’m not wearing your sweater
But you’re wearing someone’s
How else will Vermont know I’m rooting against them?
