Malcolm: "Cool. Soo...you got a story?"

maxine: how much time i got?

Malcolm: "Well, I have no friends which means I have no plans. Take as long as you need."

maxine: i ran away at 4 years old. i killed the rest of my family but couldnt get to my parents. no one has been able to find me since. I commited 1st degree at age 3. I still went to school bc they thought the murder was 30 not 3. or, now, 16. I ran away cos i didnt want to take a test that would reveal my identity. so you need to keep your trap shut or i'll kill you too.

Malcolm: "Trust me, where I come from, snitches get a bullet in the back of the head. Your secret is safe with me."

maxine: good

Malcolm: *Turns the tv on to the news*

mazine: why thank you

Malcolm: *nods and turns on the tv*

maxine: *watches*

Malcolm: "Ukraine or Russia?"

maxine: ive got family in ukraine

Malcolm: "That's cool"

maxine: kinda yeah

Malcolm: "I just hope there isn't a draft"

maxine: a what?

Malcolm: "When the government gets really desperate for an army, they will "draft" all eligible people, from ages 18 to I think...27, maybe"

maxine: Lil Darkie. Specifically Rap Music and Haha

Malcolm: "That's cool"

maxine: mhm
