Bentley's Drastic Plan and Purity's "Boyfriend"

Bentley's drastic plan
Bentley was tired of school. He doesn’t even like acting, he just didn’t know what else to major in. And going to school everyday feels just like back in high school, he wasn’t very fond of his high school experiences. They felt fake, and now his life feels even more fake.
So he decided he needed to do something drastic, something totally and completely up to the real him. But first he had to figure out who the real him is.
After a particularly boring lecture he decided he needed a break, any kind of break, just to get away from school.
Bentley had lived in the west side forever so he decided that the best thing to find himself would be to go all the way across the country, to New York.
This was drastic, just what he wanted. So he told his school that he was taking a break, figuring he might come back in the fall after spending the rest of this semester and the summer away.
Then he called his parents.
“What why?” was his dad’s reaction.
“Even Fedora’s still in school,” was his mom’s reaction.
“Well,” he explained, “I don’t like school, it feels boring and pointless. So I’m gonna leave and go to the east coast.”
“Where are you gonna get the money for that?” his dad asked.
“Uhm, you?” Bentley said.
His dad laughed, “You’re worthless.”
“Please?” he asked again.
“Whatever you want,” his dad said, “I’ll support you.”
“Thanks,” he said, “So I’m thinking, I’ll come and visit for a week and then leave, probably around Valentine’s day.”
“Okay, then,” his dad said, “See you soon then.”
And that was that.

Purity's "Boyfriend"
Valentine’s day wasn’t so hard for everyone though, take Purity for example. This is her first Valentine’s day with a “boyfriend,” granted, he’s only partially her boyfriend. You could say they were “dating.”
They, as in Purity and Daniel, have been on about ten dates since the Halloween dance, and hung out with each other after school more time than that, but Purity doesn’t know when you call someone your boyfriend officially. Since this is her first boyfriend and all.
They don’t hang out in school much so Purity was genuinely surprised when Daniel came up to her at her locker.
“Hey,” He said, putting his arm around her waist.
“Hi,” she said.
“Got anything special planned for Valentine’s day,” he said.
Purity laughed, “maybe...”
“Oh no,” Daniel said, feigning shock, “Did someone steal you before I could get here?”
“Nope,” Purity said, kissing him on the cheek, “I’m all yours on V-Day.”
“Perfect,” he said, “See you later.”
He gave her a quick peck on the lips and then slipped into the bustling hallway, leaving Purity glowing over the whole encounter. She figured now they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
