[ derek wants to push a little - nobody even went looking for you? - but that's probably just projection on his part. he never looked for the missing person in his life back home, so. pushing noah to demonize the people who didn't know he died seems like a shitty thing to do. ]
Okay... Well, I'm glad you're here. But.
You need to tell me what bands you liked when you were alive. Immediately. We might've seen the same concerts. Watched the same music videos. That's kind of wild.
Oh my god? If I knew you in highschool... Actually, shit. I can't decide if I would've beaten you up or had a crush on you.
[ sum 41 and simple plan are so easy to make fun of, but part of that is because derek used to belt out i'm just a kid at the top of his lungs and get owned by his sister for it, so. he's got a pretty big artillery of insults to shoot off. he keeps them to himself, though. he's feeling weirdly nostalgic. ]
I liked a lot of the same bands. Blink, Green Day. I mean, pop punk was at a pretty big high back then. There was a very secret part of me that wanted so badly to scuff up some vans and start wearing eyeliner. But. That's not really how the basketball team did things.

You would so have had a crush
[Back when he was alive, Noah had been chatty, hyper, imaginative... Fun. He'd partied and skated. Drove the most obnoxiously tricked-out bright red Mustang with a cheerful disregard for traffic laws. He was, as he recalls it, extremely crushable, thank you.]
Of course you played sports But hey maybe you couldve been a trendsetter with the other basketball guys if you tried Told them it's game day good luck eyeliner LOL
(No I get it) I went to an all boys school in the middle of nowhere Virginia so like we had uniforms and dress code and all that but also a lot of no homo you know
