"I love sad books. Is it from her perspective, then?"

"No, it's… it's kind of from the perspective of death, I suppose. He's a surprisingly cool guy, to be honest."

"Huh, sounds good. Maybe I can find it in the library." She handed him back the book.

Lloyd nodded, starting to put the books back in his back. "These are probably going to be the death of me… I don't know why I insist on carrying this many books."

"If books are to be the death of you, than that's a much preferable death than dying in your sleep.", she joked.

Ah, now they're talking about death. Wow… Charlotte snickered.

"Definitely. I'll probably break my back and fall down the stairs or something. After all, books are more important than my physical health. I'm thinking of making that my senior quote. Or, 'I told my parents I could graduate. After all, it's called a garbage can, not a garbage can't.'"

Lola burst out laughing. "Words to live by."

Lloyd smiled shyly. Hey, you made her laugh. Guess you're not a complete failure. Yeah, like I said. Garbage CAN, not garbage CAN'T. I really hate you sometimes. Don't worry, I hate myself too.

"you okay?"

"What? Yeah, I'm good." Lloyd snapped back to reality. Stop zoning out, stupid. Shut up.

Lola just nodded. “What kind of music do you listen to?”

"Usually classical like Mozart or Irish Folk Songs. Very different, but both calming for whatever reason."

“I listen to quite a bit of classical music too, also some of the older rock artists. Ever heard of David Bowie?”

"I don't think so, but I know the Beatles. They're old rock, right? At least some of their songs."

“The Beatles are also some of my favorites. We have surprisingly similar tastes!”

Yeah tastes…in each other… Charlotte covered her mouth with her hand to keep herself from laughing.

Lloyd nodded. Is this what a conversation is? Talking about common interests? You'd think someone so smart would know that, wouldn't you? Shut up.

(Aw bye goodnight)

Lola typed her hair back into a shirt ponytail, getting tired of loose strands in her face. “So.”, she started. “What do you think about the whole ‘Trump trying to ban the Pride Parade’ thing?”

(I just made that up in the spot)

Lol I’m just waiting for a reply)

(Sorry)
"I'm not part of that community myself, but I'm not discriminatory. I think he has no right to ban it."

(Np)

Lola nodded in partial agreement (agreement to the no right bit, not the ‘not part of the community ‘ bit). “I agree. So, you know how males and females have different brain shapes?”

"Of course. Why?"

“Well…” Lola smiled in anticipation to his response. “Scientists looked at the brains of transgender people and they found that their brains much more resembled those of the gender they identified with than the gender they were born as, almost 90% of the time. Isn’t that so cool?”

"It's certainly interesting." Lloyd was not a judgmental person. If someone was transgender, gay, or otherwise, he felt that it was their decision and he had no right to reprimand them for it. After all, it was their decision. "I wonder why that is?" Everyone had their secrets and things like that, but no one wanted them spread around.

Lola shrugged happily. “I like to think that there was a little accident when they were being made, it’s cute, Isn’t it?”
