Are you seriously sending karma after me when I came here to try and set things right?

Are you going after Cory if he runs up the score on you because his fans expect it? Would you run it up on him if the positions were reversed?

Hayden

I run the plays my coach tells me to run.

Cameron

So does Cory, and so do I. We’re all in the same boat. None of us are trying to hurt one another. I should have been more supportive, and I will be in the future.

Hayden

Whatever. We’re good. Just leave it.

Paging @EthanEngel

Read up, brother. I tried.

Ethan

Humility is a tough one, and honestly, it’s better to be on the wrong side of it here than with your own guys. You did fine.

You kept your cool, and if karma is going to get you anything, it’ll be someone else keeping his cool when you need it most.

How is it with the girl?

Cameron

Avery. I’m optimistic. She and pseudo-Cory split.

Ethan

That’s major. Has she seen your magazine spread? I think she’ll like the problematic pants.

Cameron

WHY THE HELL HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

Ethan

You didn’t see Dale post the link? Some well-positioned shadows and angles are serving you well.

Cameron

I am a reasonable guy. My very few sources have not complained. There is no need for false advertising.

Ethan

Cam, it’s your alumni magazine. There’s no way in hell it went out to a million people looking inappropriate. I’m giving you shit because I can. There is nothing wrong with that photo.

Cameron

That photo takes me back to the day someone poked my stomach and called me chunky, then told me I don’t know what to do with my dick.
