Woody laid back on his bed, his head against the wood frame of his headboard. His room was messy, as always, and his mom continuously bugged him to clean it. And every time his mother bothered him to, his Grandpa Teddy would reply with a, "Oh leave him alone, Jilly, he is seventeen years old."

He was so lucky to have such a cool grandpa who always took his side of the matter. Kicking the messy cover and sheet to the bottom of the bed, with his still shoe-ed feet, he grinned at Trevor.

"Sorry about the mess." He wasn't sure why he was apologizing, with all the times Trevor had come to his house over the years, he should be used to it by then, but he apologized anyway as he surveyed the extent of his mess. Clothes were spewed everywhere, glasses that used to hold water or pop were on most of the surfaces - and would be there until his mother came in to reclaim them - and papers from all the times he messed up his Calculus homework were thrown about.

He shrugged.

	"It's okay," Trevor replied. "How have you been? Sorry I've been so busy lately." (Reply to this) (Thread)

Woody shrugged again. He really hadn't been up to a whole lot lately, just the usual. He wished he had more things going on, but really his life was simple. He went to school, came home, ate with his family, hung out with friends, and went to sleep.

"Been fine. What have you been so busy with lately?" He asked, realizing that he hadn't seen or talked to Trevor in a very long time and had no idea what he was up to these days.

	"Working on my portfolio for college," Trevor said. "I want to get into a school with a strong creative writing program." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," Woody responded. He hadn't even thought about a portfolio for college, but if he wanted to get in as a photography major, he probably needed one. "I haven't even started mine," he said calmly, "should probably do that soon, huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah," Trevor said. "I would," he said. "The applications for my schools are due soon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Applications. Woody hadn't even thought about applications, let alone which school he wanted to go to. Obviously one with a good photography program and he figured there was one somewhere somewhat close by in New York or New Hampshire or something. They were probably all due soon also. He made a mental note to look into them later.

"Which one do you really want to get into?" He asked.

	"Cornell or BU," he said. "They both have tops writing programs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cool." Woody replied. He knew Trevor liked to write and was good at it. He would excel in any college he went to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You have any schools in mind?" Trevor asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not really," he replied quickly and in a tone that he hoped Trevor would take he didn't really want to talk about it either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay," he said, shrugging. "That's fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So what else is new, man?" Woody asked, fiddling with his pillow, "anything?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tsandbourne 2012-12-08 03:01 am UTC (link)
	"Not much, man," he said. "Just working and school and my various extracurriculars. How about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's been kind of boring lately," he admitted, "I haven't really done a whole lot. I went to the dance and spent most of it talking to Katie Lopez of all people and been doing photography and stuff. Did you go to the dance?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tsandbourne 2012-12-08 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"Katie Lopez?" Trevor asked. He vaguely knew her. He shook his head. "No, I didn't end up going." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, ya know - Alan's ex-girlfriend." He shrugged, "Wish you had. Then I would have had another person to hang out with." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tsandbourne 2012-12-08 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I know who she is," he replied. "Sorry. I kinda forgot about it," he admitted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jefferson_wood 2012-12-08 03:27 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. It didn't matter too much. He supposed he probably could have called to ask Trevor if he was going, but he hadn't thought about it. He wondered if this was what happened with growing up. You stopped really hanging out with your friends from childhood. He really hoped not. "It was boring anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Really?" Trevor said. "You didn't get any good pics?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A couple," he smiled, "nothing worthy of noting though - just for the yearbook." He wished he had gotten something really awesome, but you couldn't capture too much more than horny guys and slutty girls at high school dances. At least that was how he saw it - although some of the kids had a little class. (Reply to this) (Parent)
