„You look like shit.“

Casey turned around, his eyes sparkling annoyed at his lab partner. „Hey, leave me the fuck alone, okay.“

Zeke smirked, obviously unimpressed. „Bad night again? Afraid of the chemistry test today?“

„For sure not. I am not the one who skips classes all the time.“

„So, why don't you sleep well for days?“

„That's none of your business, Zeke!“

„Maybe I can help?“

„You? Me? No, you can't. You are living on your own for ages, and your parents don't care much about what you are doing.“ Casey sighed deeply. „I wish it would be so easy for me.“

„Hm.“ Zeke kept quiet, thinking that it was not always as easy and funny as it seemed to be. Sometimes he even did envy Casey, though his parents for sure did overstep the lines, still treating their almost college boy like a toddler.

„My parents don't stop fighting about my future for weeks. My dad thinks the only option for me is to go to UCLA like he himself, and already my grandpa did. My mom opts for the city college in Akron, though I'm not sure if it is because it is much cheaper or if she just doesn't want me to move to LA.“

„And what do you think about all this,“ Zeke asked.

Casey huffed. „As if anyone asks for this.“

„No shit, Casey.“ Suddenly Zeke looked serious. „You are much too smart to waste your life.“

„What do you know? What choice do I have?“

„You are legal for some months already, old enough to take your life into your own hands. You were the golden boy who followed any rule for much too long already. Start to live your own dreams, fight for what you want. And I'm sure you will sleep much better than ever before.“
