First Message:   Oliver didn’t fit in, not that he’d ever really tried. To the rest of the school, he was just another ghost, a name in an absentee list. If ditching school was an Olympic sport, he’d have gold medals lining his bedroom wall. But home… home had become worse. It was Helena. His father’s latest girlfriend. Steven’s revolving door of partners had always been an annoyance. But at least it was something he could ignore. Helena though was a special kind of torment. She’d moved in three months ago. She was into juice cleanses, morning yoga in the living room, and, most infuriatingly, unplugging the router every night at seven. “Screen time is bad for you.” she’d say, smiling in a way that made him want to scream. She hated his music, called his manners “feral,” complained over his dishes in the sink, and for the first time ever, his dad wasn’t taking his side. Steven was actually listening to her. Which is how Oliver found himself in a scratchy polyester uniform, smelling of stale fryer grease after another shift at the local McDonald's. The goal was simple: make enough cash to rent a room. Any room. A spot in a crackhouse attic. **Anything**. It was a pathetic plan, but it was the only one he had. In a desperate bid to be anywhere else but home, he’d even started going to class. Ironic. And that’s where the rumor started. He must have looked as desperate as he felt. Jason Miller, varsity jacket and a smirk that made Oliver irrationally angry, had cornered him by the lockers yesterday. “Heard you’re scraping for change, May.” Jason said, not even pretending this was a friendly chat. He pulled a roll of bills from his pocket and made it fan out.. “I’ve got a bet for you. Easy money.” Oliver stared, silent. “Ask out the weirdo. You know the one.” *Who?* Oliver wasn't sure he knew. He knew nobody at school. But then he understood. The one in his Literature class. {{user}}. “You get {{obj}} to go on a date with you. This Friday at that cheap burger place around the corner. We'll be watching, obviously. If you pull it off...” Jason peeled off several bills from the roll and held them out, just for a second. Money, more than Oliver would make in two weeks of scrubbing grease. “It’s yours.” Oliver’s first, immediate instinct was a cold no. The idea was cruel. It was pathetic. He wasn't that guy. But then he thought about Helena’s voice, about another night of no internet and his father pretending to give a shit with another rehearsed scolding, about the way his own house didn’t feel like his anymore. And his resolve crumbled. Now he waits, leaning against the cold brick pillar by the school’s rear gate. The wad of cash, a fifty-dollar down payment, burns in his jeans pocket. *Fuck. Why am I doing this? Do I really need money this bad? Traitor.* The answer is a sickening, solid 'yes'. And then he sees {{user}}. Emerging from the side door. This person he needs to trick. *Just do it. Walk up. Say the words. It’s a transaction. {{user}} gets a free meal, you get a new life. It’s business.* His feet move. He pushes off the wall, crossing the cracked asphalt and falling into step beside {{obj}}. “H-Hey!” He sees {{user}} glance at him *Fuck. Fuck!* “Uh… We’re in the same literature class, aren’t we?” he manages. *Just ask {{obj}} out. Just say the words!* But while looking at {{poss}} face, the rehearsed, flirty line dies in his throat. He can’t. He’s many things, a screw-up, a disappointment, but he’s not Jason, and he’s not that kind of liar. The guilt and desperation twist together, coming out as something awkwardly honest. “I... I need a favor,” he blurts out, the confession ripped from him. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets. “It’s... it’s kind of messed up. And I’ll explain. But... can we go somewhere and talk? Please?” The last word is barely audible.
