PrettyBitch: ok yeah so u could’ve just bought some

 

i.am.ferdinand: I know but

 

i.am.ferdinand: ugh this is so stupid

 

PrettyBitch: I’m getting the feeling it wasn’t just about the milk 

 

PrettyBitch: wow that’s the dumbest sentence I’ve ever typed

 

PrettyBitch: but seriously what’s up

 

PrettyBitch: normally ur ok with my mean jokes at u

 

i.am.ferdinand: it’s just

i.am.ferdinand: alright 

 

i.am.ferdinand: so we ran out of milk

i.am.ferdinand: I had a guest over 

 

PrettyBitch: …a ‘guest’ you say…?

 

i.am.ferdinand: don’t 

 

PrettyBitch: sorry

 

i.am.ferdinand: I needed milk for their coffee

 

i.am.ferdinand: and I didn’t realise we had no milk left 

 

i.am.ferdinand: so when I opened the fridge and realised there wasn’t any, I freaked out a little 

 

i.am.ferdinand: I didn’t want to keep them waiting 

 

i.am.ferdinand: and it was already awkward enough

 

i.am.ferdinand: so I just said I’d be right back and I went to your dorm since it’s so close

 

i.am.ferdinand: I couldn’t see anyone there so I just took the milk and left 

 

i.am.ferdinand: I guess Bernadetta was there after all 

 

i.am.ferdinand: so

 

i.am.ferdinand: that’s why I took it

 

i.am.ferdinand: sorry I know that’s the stupidest thing ever 

 

PrettyBitch: oh ferdie 

 

PrettyBitch: it’s fine

 

PrettyBitch: I didn’t really care about the milk in the first place

 

PrettyBitch: just thought it was funny

 

PrettyBitch: but

 

PrettyBitch: and u don’t have to talk about it if u don’t want to

 

PrettyBitch: am I right in thinking that this ‘guest’...

 

PrettyBitch: was someone u were trying to impress?

 

i.am.ferdinand: I guess

 

i.am.ferdinand: yeah

 

PrettyBitch: ...because you’re interested in them?

Dorothea (entering the common room): Alright Bernie what’s going on?

 

Bernadetta (off camera): I s-swear there’s someone there, Dorothea.

 

(The camera pans as Dorothea looks for Bernadetta.)

 

Dorothea: Ok, but where the hell are you?

 

Bernadetta (whispering): H-here…

 

(Dorothea finds Bernadetta underneath the table.)

 

Dorothea (under her breath): Fucking hell…

 

Dorothea: I’m going to turn the main light on.

 

(She walks across the room and flicks the switch. The room lights up and the camera pans to show the sofa in the middle of the room.)

 

Dorothea: LINHARDT?! WHAT THE FUCK?

 

(A small squeal from Bernadetta can be heard in the background.)

 

Linhardt (yawning): Huh…?

 

(Dorothea walks round the sofa and zooms in on Linhardt’s face. There’s footsteps in the background and then the camera flicks to show Bernadetta for a moment, who is walking tentatively towards the sofa.)

 

Dorothea: Bernie I’m sorry for ever doubting you. Evidently, there was a person in here. 

 

(Dorothea starts laughing hysterically and zooms the camera in on Linhardt again, who’s rubbing his eyes.)

Caspar (groggily): Heyyyy guys.

 

(The camera is pointing down at his feet as he walks from his kitchen into his bedroom.)

 

Caspar: We drank a bit… too much. Last night. Ugh.

 

(He enters his bedroom and pans the camera up slightly to show Linhardt, who’s lying face down on the floor.)

 

Caspar: Yo Lin. Water. 

 

(Linhardt rolls over and looks directly at the camera, before addressing Caspar:) 

 

Linhardt: Don’t ever ask me to drink with you again.

 

(Caspar laughs then starts to cough. The camera shakes.)
