Greg (Dad)
Look, I know you’re upset

Greg (Dad)
You’re not upset?

Greg (Dad)
But this will be the last move
Greg (Dad)
After this, no more moving unless you say so
Kharis

Kharis
It better be a good laptop if there’s more
Greg (Dad)
I need you to do me a favour
Greg (Dad)
This is going to sound really bad but I need you to be normal
Greg (Dad)
We’re going to a small town in the Bible Belt of the US and so the people there will be a little different
Greg (Dad)
So just for a bit, so we can settle, I need you to act normal by their standards
Greg (Dad)
No dyed hair, no piercings except earrings, and no girls
Greg (Dad)
Please, I need you to do this for me
Kharis
i think my phone is broken
Kharis
because there is no way in hell you are actually asking me that
Kharis
you don’t get to do this
Kharis
you don’t get to ask me to pretend to be a new person
Kharis
dyeing my hair to a natural colour? fine.
Kharis
only ear piercings? fine.
Kharis
refusing to let me love who i do? not freaking fine
Greg (Dad)
Just for half a year
Kharis
