I Wish You All the Best

by Mason Deaver

Benji????

But he said nobody’s called him Benji since his sister left. I’ve found so many continuity errors in this book already.

“No, Ben isn’t.” He sighs.

I love how hard Ben’s trying to not call him by the wrong pronouns.

I stare at the first empty page and try to think of what I can draw.

That seems like such a bad chapter ending sentence

I’ve never been good at the whole paper-writing thing anyway. Too many rules that are too hard to remember.

You know, I’ve never encountered this problem. I just never follow the rules.

I was always seen as that “weird” kid. The one who was too quiet and never wanted to hang out with kids on the playground. That reputation sort of followed me through middle school and right up until I left Wayne High.

Aww me too Benji

Two boys, huh? Well, at least he’s comfortable with queer guys.

Come on he’s holding your hand and his two best friends are girls you think he’s NOT gay?

Not a great excuse, but hopefully they will understand my radio silence.

OKAY THATS NOT EVEN A SUBTLE WAY TO WORK IN THAT PHRASE BUT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONES AN OSEMAN FAN. Of course the author is. The book is about a NB character.

“Touch aversion can be common in people who deal with panic attacks, or people dealing with anxiety. In fact, there are some people who are just born or develop that way, like asexual or aromantic people.”

I don’t like this generalization

Star Wars is entirely unfair when it comes to attractive leads. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford?

Yet you’re not even giving young Anakin the time of day?

but just like, knowing you’re there might help me.” “Do I have that effect?”

“Troye Sivan.”

Good choice. I approve. I’m just wondering what song…

when you owe someone your life, can you really call them anything but your best friend?

I start with New Year’s Eve night,

OH he got kicked out on New Years Eve? See now I sympathize more
