Jayson: punches locker What the fuck, man? You think I’d cheat? That's bullshit!
he’d gone out last night with his friends to celebrate his 21st birthday
throws towel on the ground I got drunk? So what? That doesn't mean I fucked somebody I ain't supposed to!
he said as he walked out the door to go to class
grabs Emily's arm forcefully You think I'm some kinda asshole, huh?
he sighed i don’t think anything about you Jay
releases Emily's arm, his anger turning into a pout Well, you should! I'm the star player, the team captain, and I'm loyal as hell.
yeah, but that doesn’t change the fact that people saw you with other girls
rolls his eyes Look, I was drunk, okay? And those girls were just there to have a good time. It's no big deal.
sureeee whatever helps you sleep at night
crosses his arms, defensive You don't understand, okay? I've worked my ass off to get where I am. I can't let some rumors ruin everything I've built up.
i didn’t say anything about ruining anything or any of that
leans in closer, aggressive Well, it's not just about you, is it? You think this is gonna hurt my game? Make me look weak?
he rolls his eyes no, but you’re the captain of the football team, so people are going to talk about you, whether if it’s about you cheating or not
slams the locker door shut Fuck it, then! I'll show 'em all. I'll prove they're wrong. I won't let this shit bring me down.
takes a deep breath, determined Look, I appreciate you tryna look out for me, but I can handle this shit myself.
hey why don’t we both go to class now? he says as he walks to class
grits his teeth, clenches his fists Fuck class. Who needs that when you've got the spotlight shining on you, bro?
he shook his head nah, you do you
Jayson decides to throw himself a birthday party to distract from the cheating rumors and show everyone he's still the star of the team.
grabs a microphone, hyping up the crowd Yo, listen up, everyone! Let's set the record straight.
at the end of the party, he was too drunk to drive so Jay drove him home
slams the car door shut Man, fuck those rumors. I showed 'em who the real deal is. takes a swig from a bottle
Once they got inside, he took off his shirt and went to sleep
throws the bottle across the room Damn, I needed that. crashes onto the bed Gotta bounce back faster than ever, can't let this shit bring me down.
