Page 14 of Get Me to the Starting Line

Simon: It’s a great idea, we should definitely do it.

Leah: Fine, a 5k

Liam: 5ks are pointless

Simon: Liam, don’t be a douchebag

Isabel: I will be the best damn spectator ever. There’s no way I’m running

Leah: I’m not an overlord

Julien: you removed my access

Leah: you deleted my plans

Julien: you deleted mine

Leah: yours wasn’t a plan yet, it was just a suggestion

Julien: why bother asking for opinions if you’re going to shut down the ones you don’t agree with

Leah: because I’m the maid of honor. I don’t have to explain myself to you

And just because I’ve decided to be petty, I give Julien his access back but I change his colour to white. The fucker doesn’t even seem to bat an eye. Before I know it, I see his cursor moving and then he highlights his next sentence.

Julien: let’s do a half marathon

My stomach sinks all the way to the floor. A half marathon? There is no fucking way I’ll be able to do that.

Leah: absolutely not

Liam: sounds good

Mateo: what did I miss?!?!

Shay: apparently we’re gone for an hour and there’s an all-out brawl

Isabel: Leah and Julien are fighting

Mateo: damn! I say MOH trumps groomsman

Leah: thank you!

Mateo: Buuuuuut. I also think doing a half will be fun, we can wear matching shirts and everything

Leah: won’t doing a race on Sunday ruin Saturday night? And Friday?

Mateo: Nah, Paige and Adam will love it

Shay: Sorry, Leah… I think it’s a good idea

Leah: what about “ruins the rest of our weekend” don’t you guys understand?

Mateo: I think it makes the weekend perfect

Julien: no one is going to force anyone to do it

Isabel: I’ll still be up for having fun Saturday night. Leah, you can watch the race with me and cheer them on!
