some more thoughts about corey's affair with mr allen. i feel like corey's irrational concern about staying on the allens' good side makes all logic leave his brain.

he's worried that jeremy will tell his parents he's a shit babysitter, but i really think that if that did happen, corey could probably have just spoken to roger about it and everything would have been fine.

if corey just told told him that jeremy had been playing up and he just couldn't handle him, then i honestly think roger would have believed him. he knows how besotted corey is, he knows how genuine he is. he also knows how awkward corey can be. it wouldn't have been the end of the world for corey to admit he wasn't up to babysitting again. like he said, he isn't a babysitter, he mows the lawn.

but, he is desperate to be seen as responsible and he feels like he has to be a perfectionist because how else will anyone love him, let alone respect him, if he's anything but?
