Hi Em. I know I said we’d go out tonight but I forgot that it is opening of Z-Guys Part 9 and I promised Seth. Yeah, I know you hate Z-Guys, which is why I’m not inviting you. What do I want you to do? I don’t know, how about go out with Jen? Her brother is home from college? Yes, I remember, he was the star quarterback. Voted best looking in his class. He’d be with you? Fine. I’ll give you call tomorrow.
“Dude! You’re skating on thin ice…”
As Z-Guys say…. he goes back to school on Sunday.

Trent's World (the Blog) 
Very, very thin ice! Made me think of the novel ‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney.

Dear Trent,
It’s nice that he’s trusting. Perhaps that’s to his advantage. Gotta have those priorities straight. ;)
Shalom,
Rochelle

He might be too trusting, or very naive… He’ll learn, though I think Z-Guys with his best friend always takes priority ;)

I like the healthy ideas of friendly relationships in your story. It is the over emotional reaction in the immature that do create life’s hell.

It is healthy in many ways, but with the age group I was thinking of (17?), in other ways they were saved by their immaturity ;) (I do understand about adults with immature views making life miserable)

Honestly, I think this is rather healthy. They are in high school – time to enjoy life, not be tethered to another. And yanno… not for nothing, if they trust each other, they are gold.
You might want to check your title ;-)

I agree with you – they are kids and can’t take it too seriously. And, yeah, there is that trust thing.
No, no, I meant “This Ice”! lol, thanks for pointing that out.

It’s funny because I thought you meant to write This ice but then in the story you wrote thin ice so…
Speaking of spellcheck – you may wanna stop copying your title for “If we were having coffee” ;-)

lol, another one. Actually, I do rewrite it every time, but when I type too fast, I often cross letters – ign occurs quite often if I am not paying enough attention… I usually catch it in the body of the text, but never really pay attention to the title. Ooops.
