"You did not want to quit," she scoffed. "You were being rebellious against your families expectations. That's like, hot or whatever, but you've got a girlfriend now, so you don't have to keep faking Hot." Not that Tucker was not attractive. Like if she had to chose between dating Tucker and say … dying, she'd chose Tucker. And she could not say that about everyone. The point was is she was not going out of her way to scare off Lizzie Grimm and steal Tucker from him. Rebel or No. "I mean and honestly its not like she's that great anyway. Are you sticking to her schedule?" 

T.J. was in fact under the impression that if she continued to insist he should play quidditch, he would wake up and realize what a moron he was being by avoiding his destiny. "You were not that bad."  He was… He was exactly that bad. "We're not fine with out you. We're suffering on along valiantly." When she wrote spacings and moves for the chasers team, she always left one incredibly easy job incase Tuck decided to come back. That was their third wheels job. She and Max handled the complicated stuff. Well mostly she. Max was all Maxy about it. He also had a girlfriend to worry about, sometimes. Hazel was right. Girlfriends and Boyfriends ruined everything. It was one small blessing about being her. She was not exactly datable. She was never going to give up quidditch for a boy. Not ever. 

"I am going to be playing professional quidditch or a bad ass auror and you're going to be the creepy guy in the underground playing guitar for change. How good do you think you'd look in a beard?" She was betting terrible. The creepy guys in the underground had always scared her. When it was a young woman even, not a creepy guy, something about the "live" music being played in the tube stations was just wrong and weird, and she did not like it. She did not want that lifestyle for her friend. Even if he was her back up best friend, who she sometimes hated because he did not understand that quidditch was the only thing important in the world. 

"I'm not trying to like run your life or anything…" Unlike some people. "But I think you could stand to do better. Just all around. You know, extracurricularly mostly, but like relationship and schoolwork-i-ly.and potential futurejobly." They had this similar conversation every few weeks. Her points were always the same, his points were always the same, but it was just the way they started conversations. It was comfortable. It was routine. It was stable. And T.J. really liked having some stable in her life. Even if he did want to be creepy tube station guy. She supposed she would throw him whatever coins were in her pockets.
