“ nothing turns out well for me. “ It wasn’t a brag. Hardly something to be proud of. But it was nonetheless true. “ You can just say you don’t want to be seen around me. I’m a big boy. I can handle it if you don’t like me. “
‟ It’s not about being seen around you. ❜ took it a lot not to physically wince from the implication of something that nathaniel stefan might’ve been doing wrong. usually, the twist within his stomach tells that. ‟ It’s about you being seen around me. Just because I have a target on my back doesn’t mean you have to share it, Isaac. ❜

“𝚒 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔,” she returns with a grin before focusing once more on the locked for in front of her. “now, do you happen to have any thin, metal objects handy?”
by some reason, he finds the statement suitable as a way to ... what, show how awed he is with ... this.
‟ ... Why are you doing this ? ❜ the boy replies suspiciously, instead of responding with handing over his emergency tools hidden in clothes and shoes too big for him. the easier it is to obscure them from view. his arms kept crossed to himself, hands held forearms whilst he studies the proper way to address the situation. for all neil knows, she can be reporting him now to the school about his breaking and entering whenever he pleases, but she still isn’t. ‟ You ... can’t be doing this for free. I’M NOT A CHARITY CASE. ❜
