Because I Love You, Stupid!

'I have a problem' Cody texted to Jarron, who would probably judge him the least out of everyone he knew for talking about this.

He replied almost immediately. 'What is it?'

'Karli wants me to meet her family and I don't want things to get more serious than they already are'

'Simple! Break up with her. There are always other fish in the sea willing to have something casual. If you're truly desperate you can always try Tinder'

Cody sighed. He really, really didn't want to do that. He had heard horror stories from other people at school about ending up with stalkers or worse. The last thing he needed was to accidentally kill some crazy girl while trying to defend himself.

After all this time his first instinct was still to attack when snuck up on from behind. A couple months ago Karli snuck up behind him putting her hands over his eyes and he judo flipped her before realizing who it was.
