H-GAYS Assemble
Red: guys help meeeee
Pink: on no are you okay? :0
Red: no
Red: me Robbie and Luis were in art class earlier and we got told we have to make decorations for the annual ball and we got grouped up with Max, and Luis was basically hyperventilating im so done
Pink: Red don't scare me like that I thought something was actually wrong
Red: shit sorry
Pink: Np!! glad you're OK tho! 💕💕💕
Chloe: Red, why are you texting in class?
Chloe: You should be paying attention.
Red: aren't you in class too?
Chloe: No, Pink and I both had a free period so I'm outside on the benches and she's in the study hall.
Chloe: Anyway don't dodge the question!
Red: well lucky for you princess, we have a free period in thr library 😉
Chloe: Not buying it.
Red: Princess I'm literally in a bean bag in the library
Red: *on
Red: The blue one next to the shelf of comic books
Chloe: Prove it.
Red: [Photo]
Red: Believe me now?
Chloe: Okay fine.
Chloe: Your hair looks really pretty by the way ❤
Red: Awh ty 💙
Chloe: Anyway
Chloe: So what's the deal? You guys are paired up with Max to make decorations? What's the problem?
Red: The problem is that Luis is gonna be shooting Max eyes every 8 seconds and Max is gonna try and fail to play it cool but end up with his face blending into my hair and me and Robbie have to tolerate it smh 😭
Chloe: Yeah, fair point.
Luis: Red!
Luis: i wouldnt be giving max heart eyes! And why would he be blushing?
Pink: Hi Luis!! Hru? 💓
Luis: @Pink I could be doing better ngl
Red: Luis
Red: as your friend and ex-girlfriend I'm gonna do the honours of breaking the news
Red: News headline number 1: Your crush on Max is genuinely the most obvious thing in the world
Luis: Come on I'm not that obvious
Red: News piece number 2: You're actually a fucking idiot and I can't with you
Luis: ouch
Luis: why do you think that?
Red: omfg I'm actually done
Red: do you seriously think he doesn't like you back?
Luis: of course he doesn't! He's probably straight
Chloe: @Red Yeah you're right, @Luis you're actually hopeless
Luis: What??
Pink: I have to agree with them here tbh! Like, in the most respectful way possible, Max might be the queerest person I've ever met
Red: you say that when our local lesbian is right here??
Chloe: You really need to stop calling me that.
Red: @Chloe never
Chloe: Just because I've finally come to terms with my sexuality doesn't mean you can keep saying that 😭
Red: too late
Luis: @Chloe real talk though how did you ever think you were straight
Chloe: Internalised homophobia is a bitch okay?
Red: oh damn Chloe's swearing
Red: uh oh have I been rubbing off on you?
Red: @Luis ok but back to this, seriously Pink is right, Max is definitely not straight
Luis: Well even if he likes guys where's the proof that he likes me?
Red: ok I actually want the Jabberwocky to swallow me and eat me whole I can't deal with you and your obliviousness anymore.
Chloe: @Red darling what did I say about making jokes about killing yourself?
Red: @Chloe Uh smth about how I need to stop deflecting from my trauma with humor?
Red: anyway it doesn't matter I'm not actually serious
Chloe: You sure?
Red: Chloe I told you guys I haven't been suicidal in months I'm doing better now honestly 💙
Chloe: Okay but talk to me if you need to ❤
Red: Tysmmm but I'm fine it's just that this mf makes me want to genuinely explode sometimes because how tf can a human being be this much of an oblivious simp
Luis: like you're one to talk
Red: ??
Luis: You're the one who's sent more hearts in the past five minutes than is legal
Red: Say that again?
Red: Cause I know what class you have rn I'll come hunt you down
Luis: ok ok whatever
Luis: anyway, it's not like I have a massive crush on him or anything
Luis: Like I think he's cute and he's honestly really thoughtful and considerate but like all I really feel is a small attraction
Robbie: Dude you walked into a door on the way to the science lab today because you saw him at his locker
Luis: Have you been online this whole time?
Robbie: yeah
Luis: Man why didn't you try to defend me once 😭
Robbie: it's more fun to sit back and watch
Luis: Traitor
Robbie: Ayyy love you too my man
Red: Robbie save that for Felix
Robbie: Red I love you but don't forget we're working together on decorations for the next month
Red: ur point?
Robbie: I'm going to have unlimited access to paint that I can throw in your face if you aren't careful
Red: oh wow how terrifying
Red: I'm shaking
Chloe: I can't tell if he's joking or not so I'd be careful if I were you.
Red: glad you're so concerned about me, but he's bluffing
Luis: damn sorry guys I gtg we're doing our presentations in history class so I'll ttyl
