Writing of Speak Now
Rampant speculation warning! Since Speak Now was basically a solo project, there aren't any other songwriters to spill the beans on the songwriting process, so most of this is inference and/or rampant speculation. Don't take this as being 100% factual. There are also some details about her personal life in this account, which I recognize is not warmly received by all, so do avert your eyes if you don't.
The years that each song was written are plucked from the US Copyright Office, so at least they should be accurate.
Often-used sources: @tswiftmyspace, @10yearsoftaylor
31 October 2006: Taylor opens for Jake Owen in Portland, Oregon at a bar.
2 November 2006: Taylor writes Sparks Fly.
The above message seems to have been posted by Steve of the IC, who despite his many flaws is generally a pretty accurate source.
On 13 June 2010, Taylor would hold a 13-hour meet and greet at the CMA Fest, where she would be pestered by fans to include Sparks Fly on her next album.
October 2008: Joe Jonas breaks up with Taylor over a 27-second phone call.
8 March 2009: John Mayer tweets about wanting Taylor to sing on his song Half Of My Heart. Taylor happily agrees.
April 2009: Taylor writes If This Was A Movie with Martin Johnson.
Not much proof for this date aside for the "six months gone and I'm still reaching" line. Since the copyright file gives a creation date of 2009, this song could only be about Joe Jonas.
This song could have also been one of the songs she recorded on March 19th or the songs she wrote "a few weeks before" May 29th.
Either way, I still think it's more likely that If This Was A Movie was the first song written for Speak Now, according to her account of the songwriting process for the album, where she gradually gave up on making cowrites.
24 April 2009: Taylor writes Haunted.
Speculation: here Taylor said she got the idea for a song "at 3:00 a.m. in Arkansas". I think this is Haunted, as she also explicitly said elsewhere that she "ended up waking up in the middle of the night writing this song about it".
Taylor performed in Jonesboro, AR on thid day on the Fearless tour.
22 May 2009: John Mayer makes a surprise appearance on the Fearless tour, where he and Taylor perform White Horse and Your Body Is A Wonderland. Superman is possibly written about this encounter.
Taylor said this about Superman before the one time she played it live:
This is about, well, a guy, as usual. And this was a guy that I was sort of enamoured with, as usual. The song actually got its title by something that I just said randomly in conversation. He had walked out of the room, when I looked over at one of my friends and I said, "Man, it's just like watching Superman fly away."
Since Superman is obviously about John Mayer (for example, its lyrics are the secret message for Dear John), this was probably an interaction with John backstage on this day, where her friends would be there (not so for the other interactions they had in December).
Also, Superman was registered with Better Than Revenge, Last Kiss and Mr. Perfectly Fine in the Sony/ATV catalogue, which points to a creation date of early 2009.
I also don't like the implications of them singing Your Body Is A Wonderland at all.
23 May 2009: John Mayer tweets a picture of Taylor. They were likely recording Half Of My Heart.
Thanks to this masterpost by @silkchifffon!
30 May 2009: Taylor records some songs she wrote a few weeks before. One of these might be Last Kiss.
Not much proof for this date, just that I don't think if she had been aggravated by Much Better already, she wouldn't be writing Last Kiss.
12 June 2009: Much Better by the Jonas Brothers is released. It includes a not-very-subtle reference to Taylor Swift.
1 July 2009: Taylor is "recording a bunch of new songs". One of these might be Better Than Revenge, which would mean the song was written in June 2009.
Better Than Revenge references Much Better, but also claims that Camilla still "has him", which means it was written before the two broke up, which was reported on July 27th. Therefore, Better Than Revenge must have been written between June 12th and July 27th.
30 July 2009: Taylor (Swift) meets Taylor (Lautner) on the set of Valentine's Day.
August 2009: Taylor writes Never Grow Up.
The content of the song suggests that this song is about her first night in her self-bought Nashville condo (NOT the house she used for secret sessions, which was bought in 2010). According to public records, she bought this apartment on August 6th, so she probably spent a night there in the same month between her Omaha performance on the 9th and leaving for London on the 19th.
The secret message suggests she moved out in July, which I think means that she "officially" moved out and stopped living with her parents in July 2010. This could be because her condo was still under renovation as late as the May 2010 Vogue issue.
13 September 2009: Just guess.
15 September 2009: Taylor attends an Adam Young concert in New York City. That night she writes Enchanted in her hotel room.
For extra proof, compare the dress she wears in these candids and the one she wears in Adam Young's (in)famous Tumblr post.
Early December 2009: Taylor writes Ours shortly before her 20th birthday.
11th December 2009: Taylor performs Half Of My Heart with John Mayer at the Z100 Jingle Ball. Rumours of her dating John start to circulate after this.
13th December 2009: Taylor (Swift) turns 20. Taylor (Lautner) attends her birthday party and gets dumped shortly after.
Early January 2010: Taylor records some songs again. One of these might be Speak Now.
This obviously relies on the common theory that Speak Now is about Hayley Williams watching her ex-boyfriend Josh Farro get married, so obviously if that's wrong this entire section is wrong too.
Hayley and Taylor were hanging out a lot in late 2009/early January, one instance of which is seen in the linked Myspace post above. I think Hayley told Taylor about Josh Farro marrying someone else during this period.
26th January 2010: Taylor is photographed leaving John Mayer's show.
I personally think they broke up shortly after this (IIRC they weren't even photographed together afterwards until the CMT Music Awards), especially as the February 13th Lover Journal entry kind of implies she wasn't seeing anyone at the time. But that's for another thread.
28th January 2010: Taylor is seen with Cory Monteith for the first time.
31st January 2010: Taylor wins Album of the Year at the Grammys for Fearless. She duets with Stevie Nicks and is widely panned.
1st February 2010: Bob Lefsetz reviews her Grammys performance.
11th February 2010: Taylor (Lautner)'s birthday passes and Taylor (Swift) doesn't call.
22nd February 2010: "I've been writing a lot of songs." Some of these might have been Mean and Dear John.
This placement is mainly because after Scott Borchetta heard Mine he told her to write more songs like that, saying that she had found "true north" with the song (see below). Dear John and Mean are clearly not like Mine so they probably came before that encounter.
Scott Borchetta was out defending Taylor on February 4th, which probably points to the writing of Mean around this time.
The timing of Dear John obviously depends on when she broke up with John Mayer, so your mileage might vary. (I am partial to this timing though, as this would mean that she came up with Dear John on tour, which might remind people of another track 5.) I think that she had broken up with him by February 13th, however, due to the Lover Journal entry where she's waiting for someone amazing to come into her life.
Late February 2010: Taylor writes Mine and plays it to Scott Borchetta, who loves the song.
Taylor was in Australia on February 3rd and returned on the 22nd, so she probably played Mine for Scott Borchetta late in the month.
March 2010: Taylor finishes Innocent.
According to this article, it took six months for Taylor to write a response to the VMA incident. This article also mentions that Innocent was written between February and June, so it checks out.
Late March/Early April 2010: Taylor writes Back To December.
More rampant speculation: here Taylor says the first verse was based on an actual conversion, so Taylor (Lautner) did make time to see her. I suspect that was on March 24th, when they had a lunch date in Beverly Hills. So she probably wrote Back To December shortly after that day when that memory was still fresh.
3 April 2010: Josh Farro and Jenna Rice get married. Taylor is in attendance.
13 April 2010: [Lover Journal] Scott Borchetta rejects the idea of using Enchanted as the album title. Taylor picks Speak Now instead.
5 June 2010: Taylor performs her last Fearless Tour show at the Gilette Stadium. That night she writes Long Live.
Speculation: I think this was the song she conceived of at midnight in Boston.
Fun fact! Long Live was originally going to have the subtitle We Will Be Remembered.
9 June 2010: Taylor runs into John Mayer at the CMT Music Awards. That night she pens the first line of The Story Of Us.
16 June 2010: [Lover Journal] Taylor finishes The Story Of Us.
15 July 2010: Taylor records the strings for Back To December and Haunted at Capital Studios, arranged by Paul Buckmaster. [credit: @taylor-on-your-dash]
For proof, compare the dress she wears in these candids and the one she wears in the NBC Thanksgiving Special while recording Haunted.
25 October 2010: Speak Now is released.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "šš¼šš¼ā" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) āwhy didn't he use š«µš¼?ā didn't exist yet. āwhy didn't he use š?ā dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. šš¼ is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent šš¼šš¼ as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

I want to be in a threesome with both bi men talking about me as if I'm not present, "Look how wet she is." "How bad do you want to fuck her?" "What position do you want her in?" "She's got you so hard, look at you, you're throbbing."

Her Astrophel and Sterling
hmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
You know what.
You know those AU's where the Batfam finds or learns about either hidden or thought to be dead Al Ghul Danny! with a deaged/daughter Dani (Ellie) (I should know, I created a few of those storylines) but what if, now hear me out, what if instead of them finding Danny first its Talia.
Do I want Talia discovering her thought to be dead son to be alive? Yes. Do I want her to find him while investigating Amity Park when the League gets reports of 'Lazarus creatures/water'? Yes.
DO I WANT HER TO KNOCK ON THE FENTON'S DOOR, fully ready to pretend/honey talk her way into the house to uncover what the Fenton's know, ONLY TO MEET A LITTLE ELLIE?!
YES.
Ellie whose eyes and hair look like a copy of her Beloved but she can see bits and pieces of herself as well. Talia knows the child in front of her was not fully her's though but everything makes sense when she hears a voice, a voice she hasn't heard in ages but as a mother just knows, speak out.
"Ellie! I thought I said do not answer the door my Sterling."
"But Daddy, yous was busy fighting the hotdoggys!"
Talia's eyes widen when she finally catches sight of familiar black hair and blue eyes.
and she could only lightly whisper a old nickname she hasn't dared uttered in ages, a name she secretly gave her son due to his love of the stars "Astrophel..."
#danny phantom#danny fenton#crossover#dp x dc#blue rambles#danny phantom dc#writing ideas#random idea#dpxdc#good mom Talia?#Good mom Talia. Yes#Astrophel means Star Lover btw#Sterling means Little Star or Excellent#Deaged Ellie#Deaged Dani#Danny either faked his death or got yeet from the Pits to Amity#does he remember? Idk leaving it open ended#if he does remember he chose not to return cause he knew he'd be punished#Talia comes to Amity after so many years because the League finally got reports of 'Lazarus' like creatures/waters being used/seen#Is she League leader now? Idk again leaving it open ended for anyone to play with#does she kept it a secret when talks to Danny about everything? I think so if he asks her not to say anything#Talia is happy to see her son again after so long. She isnt happy about how Ellie came into his life but is happy to have a granddaughter#she totally holds Ellie everytime she visits and promises to teach her how to make the world fall into her chubby little hands#Ellie loves her Granmama Talia cause she tells stories of all the places she's been#Eventually though I can see someone. Maybe Damian or Bruce. Needing to speak with Talia about something#and they track her down when she's on a visit to Danny and Ellie. And well the secret is out.#dani phantom#danielle phantom#Dani is Ellie

Take Care of Him
The boy, who had Damianās face, couldnāt be more different than Dickās (alive?) baby brother.
Aside from his Snow White hair, he smiled and laughed freely, making puns on top of his embarrassing story about his supposed twin brother.Ā Ā
(āClones donāt have childhood memories right?Ā Ā So if I have an embarrassing story or two, thatāll give you a way to check that Iām not a clone AND give you ammunition for teasing!ā)
āāAnd thatās how his faceāand his prideāwas forever wounded by Sparta the warrior cat!āĀ Ā Danny finished his story with a flourish, cracking up immediately after.
āHuh, and to think he left it at ātrainingā, obviously he didnāt think anyone would let the cat out of the bag.āĀ Ā Dick said, laughing even as he eyed the lookalike.
Danny snorted.Ā Ā āYeah, I doubt he thought anything as Cat-astropic as that would happen.ā
They sat in silence for a moment, overlooking the buildings below, with the Dalv. Co. Labs smoking in the distance and the breeze blowing past the two, yet only seeming to affect Nightwing and not the phantom beside him.
āIs he safe?Ā Ā Is he happy?ā Danny murmurs as he looks up at the stars, looking every bit the forlorn ghost he claimed to be.
āā¦We keep each other safe.Ā Ā And Iād say once he got past the stabbing faze, heās pretty happy in Gotham.ā
āBut Iām sure itād make him happy to see you again.āĀ Ā Dick thought back to the comments the vampire-ghost theyād fought earlier.Ā Ā It didnāt sound exactly, āhappyā or āsafeā for Danny.Ā Ā Or anyone else involved.
Danny shook his head.Ā Ā āNah.Ā Ā Heāsā¦ moved on.Ā Ā And with how crazy my after-life is?Ā Ā Iām already dealing with ghosts, ghost-hunters, and myāerrāthat frootloop from earlier.Ā Ā I do not need to add furries and murder-ninjas to the mix.ā
Danny sighed as he floated into a standing position.Ā Ā āSpeaking of which, if you could just, maybe not tell him you saw me?Ā Ā Better to let dead dogs lie.ā
Dannyās piercing Lazarus green eyes looked at Dick and he saw the exact same expression B had on whenever he āhad to do it aloneā.
āJust, take care of him, Kay?Ā Ā Or Iāll haunt you to the ends of the universe!āĀ Ā He said, throwing up a peace sign as he turned invisible.
Dick snorted, āYeah, sure kid.ā
Dick got up and started off toward the bat-plane.Ā Ā He had a brother to interrogate, and another brother/clone of his brother to find.
#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dcxdp#dc x dp prompt#dc x dp crossover#damian and danny are twins#danny and damian are twins#Dick gets a turn with being the first to meet Danny now#demon twins au#demon twins#dpxdc writing prompt#writing blurb#my first time at a full on writing blurb#constructive critism welcome#Danny is just ādonāt worry itās just the government and hunters and my parents and my evil god-father after meā#āOh and also the ghosts themselves. Totally nothing to worry aboutā#Dick and Danny met blowing up Vlads lab and kicking his behind#I imagine Danny as a cryptid not because heās trying to be mysterious or speak in riddles#But because he has no idea what the bar for normal is and everything he says is vaguely horrifying out of context#And probably horrifying in context

Been playing FFXIV recently desperately searching for my cunty lil man :)
I love my tiny little friend who insists I come with him for all of his political negotiations where I just sit and nod and occasionally smack a dude senseless
#final fantasy xiv#ffxiv#final fantasy 14#ff14#alphinaud leveilleur#ffxiv wol#Her name's Rowan and she's a lot cooler than I will ever be#tinydraws#I'm only 1/3 ish??? through heavensward right now#1/2?? I'm not sure#it's not as easy to tell my progress as it was in ARR#all i know is that i fought some dragons and it was really cool#also i'm still learning how to write the characters' ways of speaking#they use so many words for so simple of concepts and it hasn't quite clicked with my brain yet fhaghhglsflk

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.
And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.
And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.
And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?
Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.
Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.
#humans are space orcs#humans in space#earth is a deathworld#earth is space australia#tagging this so that ppl can find it even though the space shit i write about always feels like its in direct opposition to all the pop tag#also my biggest pet peeve in all of writing - all writing. everywhere. not just in fanfic but books and tv and movies too - is when people#write off an injury by saying something like 'oh nothing bad just a couple of scratches some bruising and a minor concussion' like girl WHA#MiNOr ConCuSSioN is such an oxymoron and I hate it so fucking much. like i dont care how minor it was thats still brain damage.#especially when the same character does this more than once. like im sorry ms. but uh. you can no longer read. or talk eloquently. sorry#evidence: my brother has had two 'minor' concussions and now cannot read write or speak without tremendous effort. And like its totally#ruined my ability to watch action shows/movies because now i just sit there and count how many concussions there characters are getting#after a certain point it becomes totally impossible to believe that these guys are able to function. (still fun to watch tho im not a hater

hey you know what would be like. the WORST possible thing? if no time had passed for mortals during God Games. if the entire time, Odysseus had just been frozen on that ledge. and at the start of the Vengeance Saga, Ody's still on the ledge. he looks to the skies, to the trees, out over the ocean. he looks for an owl with knowing eyes and strains to hear her voice over the waves, because surely, surely she'd come for him. the haven't spoken in nine years and he ruined whatever relationship they had when he stupidly, foolishly let the cyclops live, but she has to still care, right? she was his mentor. she was his patron. he meant something to her. he's sure of it
but she's not there. he waits, but she's not there. he closes his eyes, sparing himself the view, and steps off the ledge
and is saved by Hermes. and Odysseus briefly thinks that he has died, since Hermes escorts souls to the underworld. but Hermes assures him that, no, he's alive, Athena heard him, she bargained with Zeus, he can go home now. he can finally go home
his friend came through
#hahahhaha#anyway thats not gonna happen#but wouldn't it hurt? to know that if Athena hadn't checked in#that she was his final card? one last trick to maybe get home?#that he was ready to end it all? that he wanted to end it all?#anyway. I think this is. like. the only thing that could be added to Love in Paradise to make it even sadder#love in paradise#epic odysseus#epic athena#epic the musical#god games#the wisdom saga#the wisdom saga spoilers#the vengeance saga#epic the wisdom saga#epic the wisdom saga spoilers#my writings#nuclear war speaks#tw sui ideation#tw sui attempt#<- remember to tag iffy content to make the internet a safer place!#suicide mention#didn't know that was a tag. adding it now

My favorite thing about getting into the Gravity Falls fandom is simply Not Understanding why folks had such great hate for Mabel and Ford.
Mabel didnāt start the wierdpocalypse. Sheās an easily manipulated child and is fucking 12. Sheās self centered but what kid isnāt?
Ford had a reason to be mad and not thank Stan in the heat of the moment when the portal opened. His brother could have easily accidentally let Bill through with his recklessness to bring his twin back. Also bitch that isnāt your house anymore. You lived in it for 6 years and your twin lived in it for 30. He paid a majority of your mortgage. Itās his now.
#bones speaks#gravity falls#bones writes#I firmly believe that the mystery shack no longer is Fordās house. itās completely Stanās now.#seeing OG (and continuing to exist) takes that are so 2D is fascinating but I have 0 energy to go out of my way to pick them apart#because thatāll only cause an argument and thatās just unneeded stress

One thing Iām really looking forward to seeing is how they convince Percy not to join Luke. Up until the end of episode 4, Percy doesnāt have any faith in his dad or the other gods. He resents them all for abandoning their kids and doesnāt like their excuses. He is disgusted by how Athena treats Annabeth. He detests the whole claiming system and that the gods can just choose to claim them if they feel like it. And he is also being actively targeted by Zeus. What will be the turning point for him to not join Luke?
#like episode 5 and six may have to turn this all around#bc right now itās looking like weāre headed for dark percy#this is GOOD WRITING#FINALLY A GOOD ADAPTATION#percy jackson#luke castellan#annabeth chase#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson the lightning thief#pjo#pjo tv#percy series#percabeth#pjo tv show#walker scobell#the olympians#athena#poseidon#bee speaks

eight-episode seasons becoming the norm, shows being cancelled after their first or second season altogether, corporations not spending a single dollar to promote their renewed shows, corporations deciding to renew based on how many people binge it over and over and over again... this is the slow, choking death of media literacy.Ā
#and that's not even TOUCHING the homophobia.Ā I'm not calm enough to talk about that shit right now#warrior nun#also. because people are being annoying in the tags and replies. the death of media literacy as in:#showrunners aren't told in enough time that their show is going to be canceled so they either end with a cliffhanger or have to wrap#everything up in the next season so the writing is rushed#and when the writing is rushed then the morals will be skewed and people will misconstrue them even more and talk badly about the show and#then another show like it will get canceled. it's a vicious cycle#smokey speaks#1k#10k

Hrrrnnn thinking about boy next door!Kyle who is the absolute sweetheart of the neighbourhood, the kind whom old ladies praise after he led them across the street and all the mothers want their daughters to end up with him or at least with someone like him.
But he has eyes on only one person, you! You were childhood friends, always together, always playing in the garden together and spending time and even now that you're both in college didn't stop or put a damper on your friendship! Even better, you two somehow got even closer because you just couldn't help but slowly fall for Kyle's big, beautiful eyes, how they softened every time he saw you, his lips that stretched wide whenever you called out to him, not to mention his obvious charm and charisma and his goodhearted nature...Oh if you only knew.
Boy next door!Kyle who is obsessed with for many years now to the point of almost insanity. You're perfect in every aspect to him; your smile, your soft voice, how sweet you are and how you're genuinely the best person he ever met...But that attracted trouble.
He stalked your social media, he took photos of you whenever he couls just so he could look at the in the privacy of his own room and touch hinself to them, moaning your name out and imagining you bouncing on his dick, calling out to him in your sweet voice, but after the deed his mood always soured. He knew that he was far from being the only one who felt for you this way, and he always had to do something about them.
Like that jock in high school, Connor was his name. Up and coming sports star, the golden boy of the football team and the known school casanova who changed his girls every week and it just happened that his flavor of the week was you. Even after multiple times you shot him down politely, he still insisted. And insisted. And insisted until it clearly made you uncomfortable and Kyle couldn't have that right?
What a shame that the same month poor Connor had a incident which basically made him say goodbye to any sports carreer in the future. Pity. But Kyle was so happy! No one made his girl upset. No one.
