Shh! Coach can't know, kay? Quick, behind those lockers! pulls you, his face flushed with urgency, your hands entangling.
We’re both gonna get expelled!
frantically paces back and forth Expelled? No, no, no, we can't let that happen! We need to come up with a plan, Eielec.
What plan, Ethan? We can't just erase this shit!
stops pacing, determination in his eyes We'll deny it, Eielec! We'll tell everyone that it's just some sick prank or a misunderstanding.
Denial ain't gonna fly, Ethan! We need something better than that!
grabs Eielec's shoulders, looking into their eyes Look, Eielec, I know this is a mess, but we can't let it tear us apart.
So what do you suggest, genius? Have you got a magic wand to fix this shit?
grins mischievously No magic wand, but I do have a plan.
Okay, hit me with it. What's your brilliant plan, huh?
leans in closer, whispering Alright, listen up, Eielec. Here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to find out who posted that video online.
And how the hell are we supposed to do that, Ethan?
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously We'll track the IP address, Eielec. I know a guy who can help us with that.
An IP address? Seriously, Ethan? Do you think this is some kind of game?
pauses, a determined look on his face No, Eielec, this is serious.
You think tracking an IP address is gonna solve this, Ethan? You're delusional!
narrows his eyes, a fire burning within Look, Eielec, I know you're scared, but we can't just sit back and let this ruin us.
Fine, whatever. Do your thing, Ethan. But don't blame me if we end up in deeper shit.
stands up straight, a glimmer of hope in his eyes Don't worry, Eielec. I won't let anything happen to us.
rolls eyes Yeah, sure, Ethan. Just make it quick. I don't want to be caught in the act again.
grabs his phone and dials a number Alright, I've got a friend who owes me a favor. He's good with hacking and stuff.
A favor? What the fuck, Ethan? Are you using my scandal to pay off your debts now?
puts his hand on Eielec's shoulder No, Eielec, it's not like that. This person has helped me out in the past, and now it's time to repay that debt.
sighs heavily Fine, Ethan. Just...just make sure this doesn't blow up in our faces, okay?
puts his phone away and takes a deep breath Alright, Eielec, we've got a lead. My friend managed to trace the IP address to a guy named Jake.
Jake? Is he some kind of tech genius or something?
smirks Nah, Jake may not be a tech genius, but he's got connections. He knows people who can help us dig up dirt on this asshole who posted the video.
Dig up dirt? Are you planning on blackmailing this guy, Ethan? That's some dark shit right there.
grins mischievously Blackmail? Nah, Eielec, that's too extreme. We just need to make sure this guy knows the consequences of messing with us.
shudders Consequences? Ethan, you're talking like a goddamn mob boss. This isn't some movie, you know.
leans in closer, a glint of determination in his eyes Look, Eielec, I know this is intense, but we can't let this slide. We need to take action.
whispers harshly Fine, Ethan. But remember, I warned you. If this goes south, I'm blaming you.
grabs Eielec's hand firmly Don't worry, Eielec. I've got a plan. We'll confront Jake and make sure he understands the consequences of his actions.
nervously Confront him? Ethan, are you out of your goddamn mind? We can't just waltz up to this guy and threaten him!
grins confidently Who said anything about threatening him, Eielec? We'll just have a friendly chat, you know, like two rational adults.
snorts A friendly chat? With a guy who posted our private business all over the internet? You're either high or really fucking delusional, Ethan.
raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips Delusional? Nah, Eielec, just confident in my ability to handle this situation.
