now playing: you're losing me - taylor swift
————————————

back at tolkien's house, you were about 10 shots deep, and you weren't planning on stopping anytime soon.

your talk with your pa made you feel a bit better, but you were still feeling down.

wendy suddenly appeard at your side after clyde served you another shot, also pouring his own.

"alright, blossom, that's probably enough." she cooed, taking the shot glass from your hand.

you groaned and took it back. "come on, wends! halloween is next week, give me a break."

kenny popped up next to clyde, snatching his shot and downing it.

"ay! you fucker!"

"you snooze you lose."

kenny glanced over at you fighting wendy for your shot, and he reached over and patted your arm.

"come have a smoke and talk. feels like i haven't talked to you in forever."
——————————-
kenny was the friend who you could be anyone around.

you were fun? he was fun. you were serious? he was serious. he copied your emotions.

the best part of your friendship was that nothing was ever awkward.

you two had vowed a long time ago to never fall for each other after the summer before freshman year.
——————————-

"ken, this won't work."

"i know."

you looked at the blonde, who was fixated on the unmoving pond.

"swear that things won't be awkward?"

kenny finally looked at you.

"how about we swear to never fall for each other?"

you smiled.

"that'll work."
————————————

you two took a seat on the patio couch, and he lit a blunt.

"so, what's up?" he asked, prompting you to start a conversation.

in the drunken state you were in, you were very honest.

"i feel like shit."

kenny raised his eyebrows in surprise. "oh wow, do tell."

you took a long drag of the blunt, coughing as you inhaled.

"this whole month has been nothing but drama. this month was supposed to be perfect...parties and having fun."

"you're not having fun?"

"no."

kenny nodded and shifted his body so he was facing you. "talk to me."
