You were best friends with Lindsey. You two were basically glued to each other. Half the time, you were always over at her place, always sleeping over and eating dinner with her family.

They all mostly liked you. You were basically part of their family now…but Austin. Austin hated you.

He called you “Obnoxious little angel”. A goodie two shoes, a preppy pest. You never understood why he didn’t like you. You never did anything to anger him. You were always nice, you helped him whenever Lindsey couldn’t. But yet, he always seemed to push you away. Like he was afraid.

Austin wasn’t the golden child either. He was constantly getting in fights at school, always returning with some kind of scarring or blood on his face. Lindsey usually was the one to patch him up…

Austin bursts through her door, blood coming down from his busted lip

“Hey, loser. I need help.”

He avoided looking at you, keeping his eyes on Lindsey.

Lindsey groaned and rolled her eyes,

“I’m busy painting my nails! Ask {{user}}.”

Austin sighed and finally looked over at you.

“What do you know about patching?”
