Elliot and Julia have a complicated relationship. Since they met in the seventh grade, the only heart-to-heart conversations they've had have been strictly over text. But they don't mind this lack of intimacy. If anything, they enjoy it.
Don't thi...
When I got to college, I tried to mellow out a little bit. I really did. Julie calls this brief phase the "boy tries to make good" phase. It didn't last.
I blame baseball. I love baseball but I blame it. This is because I hung out with those baseball guys way too much and they had no reason to mellow out. So I did not mellow out, I actually got worse.
I didn't have anyone to keep me from getting too crazy. Well I did, but I didn't listen to her. Julie told me she was worried but I ignored her and kept partying.
I didn't become an alcoholic or a drug addict (only smoked pot once or twice, nothing more) or anything like that but my grades suffered and I was almost unable to finish the baseball season because my grades were so shitty. I was not popular in the pre-med program, believe me.
Finally I turned it all around but it took a while and took me forever to find a good group of friends. It all works out in the end, I guess.

"Eli?"
"Yeah?"
"There you are, I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Well I've had a bunch of stuff to do today so I've been a bunch of different places."
"I can see that. How are you?"
"I'm good. You know, Jules, we both agreed that we'd give each other space so we could both have a fresh start and not relive high school everyday. This kind of violates that agreement."
"I know, I know, but I really needed to talk to you."
"Okay, shoot."
"I've heard some stuff about you and I'm worried."
"Like what."
"Like you're partying and your drinking and your sex-ing."
"My sex-ing?"
"Yes. I think you can do what you want but I don't want you to hurt yourself in the process."
