[This isn't the first time Beck has come up against it, but she doesn't have a chance to say anything before Katy takes hold of the beer bottle. Honestly, though, of everything she's seen so far... This is far milder, even if she's stifling a small laugh.]

Maybe you'll get a second chance...?

[polyapathy]

[Ohhh my god, she'd spaced on the whole memory swapping thing. Of course it was just a trick. Katy slumps back against the couch, head tilted toward the ceiling because fuck her life. How embarrassing.]

God, if only. Now that I know what I'd missed out on, it's a game of weighing whether or not it's worth putting up with him.

[Judging by the tone, the answer is no, it is not.]

[She looks sympathetic, at least, as she notices that embarrassment. Her voice reflects that, too.]

Ouch. On a scale of one to ten, how much of an asshole is he?

[polyapathy]

[She tips her head from side to side.]

I wouldn't call him an asshole. He's a loser and a junkie, but he's a good guy at heart. Reminds me of Nathan, actually.

...Yeah, I can't say he's at the top of my to do list.

[There's a flicker of something in her expression when Katy mentions the junkie detail, but after a moment, they'll be distracted by another memory.

It's a bright and sunny morning, as summer transforms into fall. You're sitting in the passenger seat of a car, looking out the window as you turn a corner onto a college campus. Once you realize that you've arrived, you sit up a little straighter, excitement bubbling up in your chest. Your fingers grip the car door, and as soon as your mother pulls to a stop, you're rushing out the door towards your dormitory.

This is the first day of your freshman year of college, and the first time you're going to be living apart from your mother. While she seems emotional, you can't really contain the nervous excitement racing through you, even as she comes to help you with your bags. Once everything's unpacked... You can't even say the small size of the room bothers you. Looking up at the ceiling as you lay on your bed, you can't help but think to yourself that this is going to be an awesome four years.]
