NOT SO BERRY

tyler: can you promise me something since i promised you something?

dexter: sure, what is it?

tyler: will you promise me that you’ll say you’re sorry to your mom and won’t ever act like that again. 

dexter: i promise, dad. i love you.

tyler: i love you too, buddy.

NOT SO BERRY

tyler: so your mom told me about your little incident at school and how you acted when she tried to talk to you about it. i know you’re angry but please don’t ever treat your mother like that again. she’s only trying to help you.

dexter: i know, i just – she told me to apologize but i don’t want to! dustin is a bully and he deserves to get beaten up!

tyler: instead of using your fists, try using your words. you don’t have to use violence to resolve a bad situation, it only makes it worse in most cases. 

dexter: what if he doesn’t listen?

tyler: then that’s his choice and i promise you that if he continues to bully you and others, i’ll have a word with his parents myself. 

// i feel like my dialogue sucks and nothing i write makes sense help

NOT SO BERRY

an hour later…

dexter: can i tell you something before you go?

carina: what is it?

dexter: i just – i know you didn’t want me to bring it up again but i want you to know that i really like you. like, like like you! you could do so much better than that idiot. 

carina: i’m sorry dexter, i don’t like you like that. i have to go… i’ll see you at school on monday.

dexter: oh.

NOT SO BERRY

carina: you don’t know him like i do! he’s nice and i think i love him! can we talk about something else?

dexter: ugh, fine. i’m just looking out for you.

carina: yeah, i know but i can take care of myself. i know i’m just a kid but i’m not dumb. 

dexter: you’re the smartest girl in the whole world, that’s for sure.
