14:06
Dear Diary,
Today started out as a good day.
I went to school and I sat with my friends.
Their names are Anna and Kate.
We talked and then school started.
We had a test in maths.
I was very scared.
But I got through it!
(I’m not going to write my score in here though because it’s a secret)
The test was the last thing we did.
So after it I got to go home.
At home, I texted my big brother.
His name is Peter.
Usually he’s very nice and kind.
But today, diary, he decided to ignore me.
Every year, all four of my siblings go home for Christmas.
But this year,
*gasp*
Peter said he wasn’t coming home.
susan <3 (yes i watered your succulents)
14:10
I’m soooo sorry :((
I was actually at a lecture
I opened your message but then I almost got caught with my phone out
So I had to wait
:(((((
sorry
It was Professor Jones
the one who called Lila out for cheating even though she’d kill somebody before she would think about cheating
14:11
Also since when is peter not coming home???????
This is the first I’ve heard of it!
14:12
ok so I forgive you for the first part
and the lecture with the annoying professor
cause he sounds kinda awful
but like
I call bullshit on that last bit
you, sir, are a
LIAR
14:12
No?????
I really haven’t heard much from Peter
Also LANGUAGE
14:13
fine captain america
but also you are using too many question marks for you to be telling the truth
like yes,
you could not be talking to peter that much
but you did hear something from him
about him not coming home
14:15
you know I can keep a secret
I havent told anybody about that test you cheated on
14:15
THAT WAS ONE TIME
14:15
yes
and nobody else knows about it
because ive kept my mouth shut
so tell me why peter isnt coming home
!!!
14:16
It’s really not my place to say
:((((
14:16
you use that a lot
but thats beside the point
if its not your place to say
then maybe you could at least tell Peter to text me
so then it can be his place to say to me
hes ignoring me :(
14:18
I’ll text him
And try to encourage him to talk to you
But I don’t think this is something he wants to be pushed on
14:18
but everything will be all wrong without him
I think
I think I’d actually miss him
14:19
Hahaha very funny
14:21
really tho
it wouldnt be the same
itd just be you and me and ed
14:21
Right
Just you and me and ed
Nobody at all, really
14:21
you know what I mean
its not the same when were not all there.
It was going to be the four of us again, and it hasn’t been like that for a long time.
it was always us against everything else, but now I feel like it’s just us and our own lives.
we dont feel as close anymore.
14:22
*we’re
14:22
*we’re
…
and that’s my cue to go
byeeee
14:23
love you!!
and I understand where you’re coming from, and I feel the same. We can make it work though!
<3
14:25
<3
14:25
It’ll be okay, Lucy, we’ll figure it out.
I promise.
We’ll be together again <3
pete (r)
14:30
Sorry, diary, I had to take a break to talk to Susan.
But, we are going to continue now…
14:32
Diary, you’re the only one I can confide this in. But I’m really sad.
We haven’t been the four of us for awhile, and we were going to be back together again this year.
But now it might just be three.
I don’t want it to be like this.
I have to go bake coffee cake for Ed,
but I’ll see you later.
I hope today gets better.
Because right now I just want to cry.
pete (r) is typing…
14:33
?
no?
okay, then
im gonna go bake that coffee cake
love you
Unknown Number
18:03
Hey! Is this Lucy Pevensie?
19:47
Yes. Who is this?
19:50
This is kind of an awkward conversation to have over text. Could I call you?
19:51
ummm no?
idk who you are
sorry
19:51
Fair enough.
My name is Caspian Prince. I’m friends with Peter?
19:52
havent heard of you before
ngl I dont really trust you
peter’s never mentioned a Caspian prince
19:52
This isn’t very convincing but we met this summer. We’re roommates? Flatmates? Whatever it’s called
We have been for awhile
19:52
he said hes been rooming alone. said he got a good deal for one bed/one bath
also shouldnt it be the other way around?
19:55
What?
19:59
your name
it should be prince Caspian
not Caspian prince
that just sounds wrong
20:00
oof
I mean yeah, I get that
I can’t really change it though
[Unknown changed to Prince Caspian]
20:01
its your name now
20:01
Okay?
Also can I call you now that you know my name?
20:02
nope
kidnappers have names too
20:02
I swear I’m not a kidnapper!
I promise!
20:03
oh like thatll make me trust you
trust me trust me
haha
nope
20:03
If you let me call you then I can get Peter to talk to you
[3 new messages from susan <3 (yes i watered your succulents)]
[stop interrogating Caspian!!]
[He really is rooming with Peter]
[Don’t ignore me I know you’re on your phone!]
20:04
first of all,
why do you want to call me?
second of all,
why cant you just tell Peter to text me?
or call me himself?
20:04
The reason I’m texting you and he isn’t is because he is locked in his room and his phone is right next to me.
20:05
why is he locked in his room???
20:07
If you let me call you and explain then I’ll be able to tell you
This feels like it’s getting so much more complicated than it needs to be.
It’d be a pain to text out but I will if you really need me too.
*cough* but calling would be easier *cough*
[Incoming call from susan <3 (yes i watered your succulents)]
20:07
oh shti
eddy
20:38
did you make me cookies?
Or fudge?
maybe brownies?
oooooh
was it coffee cake?
I bet it was coffee cake
20:40
Whatever it was I hope its done cause Ill be home soon
like less than 10 mins soon
20:41
the gangs gonna be back together again!!!
Prince Caspian
20:42
so, uh
sorry for leaving you for so long
susan really can go on for a long time
uh
ive been told I need to apologize
so
sorry
20:43
You’re forgiven
Not much to forgive, though
You didn’t really do anything
20:43
I was told my behavior was childish
But thank you
I am happy that it was not too annoying
Still,
Sorry.
Really.
20:45
Can I call now?
20:45
yeah
sorry again
[Incoming call from Prince Caspian]
