NRC Group Chats

Summary:

A collection of messages between the students of Night Raven College, detailing all the shenanigans, bickering, and friendships online and on campus.

Notes:

Relationships are not a major focus here, but may develop through the course of the work. However, everyone is kind of flirty, and you can assume that nobody here is straight.

Chapter 1: 19 March - What's in a Name?

Summary:

MC has an idea for the main NRC group chat... new nicknames!

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

CayCay

Grim's Keeper

afgdhghdhsGHJjhgYYGFYfg

Lucky Clover

Jack
Yo, are you okay there?

sdfhksjbdsaaaaaaaaaaafh
Grim stole my phone

he didn't like my nickname here lol

sorry for the scare!

(also, Grim says hi btw)

Mama’s Boy
Hi Grim!

Jack
Tell him we say hi too


- Floyd changed sdfhksjbdsaaaaaaaaaaafh to koebi-chan~ -

Floyd
How's that?

koebi-chan~
oh, that totally works! thanks Floyd!

Floyd
:)

koebi-chan~
I guess I'll move onto some other nicknames then, okie dokie?

Ruggie
Haha okay!! Do me next!


- koebi-chan~ changed Ruggie to Giggles -

- koebi-chan~ changed Leona to Naptime -

Naptime
Absolutely not


- Naptime changed their name to Leona -

Leona
I'm leaving, herbivore

Don't fucking change it again.

koebi-chan~
okay

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Leona!

koebi-chan~
I guess I’ll talk to you later, Leona

Giggles
Haha bye Leona!


- koebi-chan~ changed Jack to Cactus -

Cactus
Eh, sure


- Giggles changed Leona to Naptime -

- koebi-chan~ changed Naptime to Leona -

koebi-chan~
Ruggie


- Giggles changed Leona to Sourpuss -

- koebi-chan~ changed Sourpuss to Leona -

koebi-chan~
RUGGIE STOP

Giggles
Shishishi

Sebek
Had your superior not told you specifically to not change his nickname?! Such disrespect!!

koebi-chan~
^

Queen of (Rose)hearts
I agree, Sebek

Falling Apart
he’s not wrong

Giggles
Okay fine. I’ll stop

But only because I don't want Leona after my tail

koebi-chan~
thank you!!!!!

Rook
And what a shame it would be to lose such a lovely tail to Roi du Leon…

Giggles
Eh?

?

What is THAT supposed to mean?

koebi-chan~
OOH HANG ON- I JUST HAD AN IDEA


- koebi-chan~ changed Giggles to Work Hard, Play Hard -

Work Hard, Play Hard
Aw yeah

Nice one haha


- koebi-chan~ changed Azul to 8 legs, 10000 signatures -

8 legs, 10000 signatures
Hm.

It's accurate I suppose, but far too long a name, MC. It’s rather unprofessional as well.


- 8 legs, 10000 signatures changed their name to Azul A. -

koebi-chan~
yeah that's valid criticism

thinking of it, that's probably part of why my small business in middle school never took off, while you're literally running a restaurant now

Azul A.
If you would like some guidance, I'm always happy to discuss business, MC.

koebi-chan~
I know you’ve got an angle

but thank you

...maybe.

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Wait

MC

You started a business???

Why didn't I know this?

Work Hard, Play Hard
I mean, I've run small businesses before. It's not rare haha

Epel
Yeah, a lotta guys at my middle school made little setups

Vil
Epel

Epel
Ah

I mean,

I had many classmates that started small businesses at my middle school!

heh

koebi-chan~
yeah

see, it's not THAT weird, Ace

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
I know

Mama's Boy
It's just unexpected for you, I guess

koebi-chan~
understandable.

anywho...


- koebi-chan~ changed Floyd to Squeeze -

Squeeze
Shrimpyyyyyy

You know what I like haha

🤗 🤗


- koebi-chan~ changed Jade to Mountaineer -

Squeeze
Nah. Sorry, that's boring


- Squeeze changed Mountaineer to Mushroom Man -

- Squeeze changed their name to ~Squeeze~ -

~Squeeze~
Heehee

Cause you're obsessed with those things

You freak

Mushroom Man
Hm, both names are accurate 🙂

koebi-chan~
you know Jade, I can never seem to read your energy

Lucky Clover
He's not what he seems at first glance, that's for sure…

Mushroom Man
MC, Floyd, I do appreciate the nicknames you have given me. Truly

koebi-chan~
oh! you're welcome!

~Squeeze~
Weirdo

Mushroom Man
And Trey, I believe I could say the same about you. I don’t think you’re as straightforward as you would like others to perceive you.

Lucky Clover
Um

"Normal" is what I am :)

CayCay
👀

koebi-chan~
👀 hello?

Azul A.
Fascinating

koebi-chan~
I am very uncomfortable with the energy we have created in the studio today

CayCay
studio?

koebi-chan~
wait,

you guys don't have a reference point for that phrase

never mind

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Is that an idiom or some common saying from your world, MC?

koebi-chan~
I mean, kind of

it's a line from an internet show that got pretty popular as a reaction

CayCay
ooh, I might start using that... it could totally blow up here too!!

I think I've learned a few new things here today haha

Azul A.
I believe I have as well

Mushroom Man
Oya?

Lucky Clover
What?

~Squeeze~
All I learned is that my brother’s even weirder than I thought

At least it was fun to watch him squirm a bit haha

koebi-chan~
wow

okay then…

Let's move on, shall we?

Lucky Clover
Please

Mushroom Man
Oh, of course, MC


- koebi-chan~ changed Kalim to Party Boy -

Party Boy
OOH!! I love it!! Thank you!! 😊🧡

koebi-chan~
you're welcome! :)


- koebi-chan~ changed Jamil to Snake Charmer -

- Snake Charmer changed their name to Viper -

Party Boy
Aw, come on Jamil! Have some fun! 😁😊😋

Viper
I am.

~Squeeze~
But Sea Snake~ that's literally just your name

Viper
I want something somewhat respectable Floyd. And this is also fun enough.

Azul A.
There is nothing wrong with keeping a name professional. I respect the use of a singular name, especially one so powerful

koebi-chan~

interesting

Party Boy
Okay @Viper! That's fine! 😊

koebi-chan~
^

Viper
Ugh. Maybe I shouldn't have changed it after all.

Azul A.
Come now. It suits you very well, Jamil!

Viper
You can stop trying to be so friendly with me, Azul. It’s not going to work.

koebi-chan~
oop

may I continue?

Viper
Yes. Please do.


- koebi-chan~ changed Vil to Fairest of them All -

- koebi-chan~ changed Epel to Poison Apple -

- koebi-chan~ changed Rook to Hunter -

koebi-chan~
and there we have Pomefiore!

Fairest of them All
Fascinating choices there, potato

Poison Apple
HELL YEAH

I mean uhh

Thanks MC

Hunter
Beauté! Oh, these nicknames you have chosen for us are très magnifique! Trickster, your creativity makes the heart simply soar!

koebi-chan~
aww, thanks Rook!!

ooh, hang on


- koebi-chan~ changed Hunter to Hunter✨ -

koebi-chan~
there!

also, I have an idea

let me know if this sucks, okay?


- koebi-chan~ changed their name to Trickster Herbivore Potato, Human Child of Shrimpy -

Trickster Herbivore Potato, Human Child of Shrimpy
it's a combination of all of the nicknames you guys call me!

thoughts?

Azul A.
No. Too long again, MC

Fairest of them All
A sweet sentiment, but it is visually vile. A name is a reflection of who you are, and you do not want to present yourself as something unbecoming.

Riddle
Generally nicknames like these should be shorter. There is no definitive rule, but I do agree that it is too long to use as a screen name

Trickster Herbivore Potato, Human Child of Shrimpy
ah, okay

well, it was an idea


- Trickster Herbivore Potato, Human Child of Shrimpy changed their name to Falling Apart -

Falling Apart
now it's just like my dorm <3

Work Hard, Play Hard
Hahaha truuue

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Accurate lol

Mushroom Man
Ramshackle dorm does hold up to its name

Falling Apart
it certainly does, but much less so than when Grim and I first moved in lol

Mushroom Man
When I was last there I did notice a number of repairs that were still required. Some of them appeared structural. I honestly don't know why Crowley has you living there.

Falling Apart
it could be worse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wait, when were you last here?

back when it almost became Mostro Lounge (Main Campus location)?

because it is WAY better here now than it was back then

Poison Apple
Wait,

WHAT happened?

Falling Apart
oh right! we hadn't met yet!

do you remember that whole sea-anemone-indentured-servant thing last semester? this happened then.

Poison Apple
What?

How?

Why???

Falling Apart
It’s… kind of a long story. I’ll tell you later, okay bud?

Poison Apple
Okay

You better

Mushroom Man
Fufu

No, I was there more recently, when Floyd and I had gone to talk with Grim

Falling Apart
what?

I'm sorry… with Grim?

again?

when did this happen?

Lucky Clover
"Again"?

Falling Apart
yeah, again

Mushroom Man
Oh, it was about four weeks ago, I think

Falling Apart
hm.

it seems that my dorm member and I have something to talk about as well

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Ah shit

Grim's gonna get it 🤣

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Ace, Language!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Sorry Riddle

Azul A.
Don't worry yourself, MC. There is nothing you need to be concerned about with Grim.

~Squeeze~
Yeah, I didn’t even get to squeeze him that time

Viper
You couldn’t sound sketchier if you tried.

Mama's Boy
Hey MC? I don't know about you, but I don't trust that

Falling Apart
yeah... I'm sorry, but knowing you and even more, knowing GRIM...

Azul A.
I understand. He is quite the troublemaker, is he not?

Falling Apart
he gets himself into trouble all. the. time.

you know what?

I'm going to expose him a bit here.

he almost knocked over another bookcase today by practicing some kind of wind magic inside the dorm

Poison Apple
I’ve done way worse stuff

Mama's Boy
Yeah, that's not too bad

Falling Apart
you're right,

except that it was the one near the guest room entrance, and he almost knocked the French doors off their hinges in the process.

AGAIN.

CayCay
oof

Hunter✨
Ah, yes! Such a free spirited creature!

Falling Apart
don't I know it :/

and it seems that you do too @Azul A.

Azul A.
Oh, you think so?

Falling Apart
Yes. I seem to recall a photo... maybe some tuna...?

plus there was whatever happened last month with him

...and I guess anything else there is that I haven’t heard about yet

CayCay
ooh, what's this?

is there some more #tea about to spill?

Falling Apart
no

uh

I'm…

Azul A.
Ah, of course. How could I have forgotten? He was an immense help! You both were.

Falling Apart
I probably shouldn't say anything else about that here

CayCay
but...

🥺

the tea MC...

Falling Apart
no

CayCay
the teaaaa :(

Cactus
Wait, you and Grim helped Azul?

Falling Apart
I mean, kind of? it was more that we helped Ortho and Idia, and Azul was helping them too

Azul A.
MC and I shall not be speaking on this matter further, lest we breach previously signed agreements. Right MC?

Cactus
The Hell did you get yourself into?

Falling Apart
don't worry, Jack. he's making it sound MUCH worse than it actually is.

honestly?

I had rather a lot of fun :)

Cactus
?!?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
You and Azul?

The fuck?

Queen of (Rose)hearts
LANGUAGE, ACE

Falling Apart
I mean... yeah. it was fun! and everything turned out fine, so...

~Squeeze~
Wait... you and Azul had fun without me?? :((

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Sorry Riddle!!

Falling Apart
@~Squeeze~ I don't think you would have found it fun Floyd. it was very... controlled, I guess?

Ortho
Yes! MC, Grim, and Azul provided a great deal of help to me and my brother! It was a delicate task, but it proceeded smoothly, and everyone left happy!

~Squeeze~
Oh. Yeah, that sounds boring

Lucky Clover
@Queen of (Rose)hearts Riddle, I think it's okay. This is a casual enough space to use that kind of language. And it's not like we've never seen it before.

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Alright, fine.

But please, keep it to a minimum.

Falling Apart
I mean, most of us left happy at least

also, I agree @Lucky Clover - we’re all just schoolmates here, right? :)

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Can do. (Thanks Trey!! haha)

Lucky Clover
Yep :)

Azul A.
MC, Ortho, please refrain from further discussion on the previous matter.

Falling Apart
okay, apologies!

Ortho
Okay Azul!

~Squeeze~
Eh, Shrimpy?

Why don't you just go back to koebi-chan~

It was a way cuter name

Falling Apart
it was very cute :)

I just think that since people call me different things, I should maybe use a more general nickname?

Party Boy
Floyd! I thought it was a cute nickname too!!! 🥰

~Squeeze~
Mm, fine. You’re still koebi-chan to me

Falling Apart
Kalim, hun, you're too nice

hey @~Squeeze~

🦐 it me :)

~Squeeze~
Koebi-Chan! :)

Falling Apart
ooh, also

that conversation reminded me!


- Falling Apart changed Ortho to Astroboy -

- Falling Apart changed Idia to Gamers Rise Up -

Astroboy
Ooh, thank you, MC!

These are very fitting nicknames!

@Gamers Rise Up What do you think?

Falling Apart
you're welcome, Ortho! :)

Gamers Rise Up
wwww

good choice MC

gtg tho my event's about to start

Falling Apart
okay, have fun!

Mama's Boy
Wait, what did he say?

Lilia
I'd explain, but I also need to leave for an event that's starting. Bye!

Falling Apart
ooh, wait, @Lilia!

Astroboy
This is from a program my brother just finished!

[ Translation of Online Phrases and Acronyms ("Net to Normie Translator"):

gtg: "got to go"

[ Current Game: Reinterpret Utopia ] ]


- Falling Apart changed Lilia to Small but Mighty -

Falling Apart

Mama's Boy
Oh! Thank you Ortho!

Small but Mighty

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Cater, what's this "owo" thing?

CayCay
help me Riddle-kun, they're bullying me for my typo 😭😭😭

Falling Apart
Riddle, it's a little face!

the "o"'s are the eyes and the "w" is the mouth, see? (owo)

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Ah, I understand.

I do not personally see how a face fits the standard definition of bullying, Cater, but if you wish to speak with me and file a formal complaint, come meet me in the dorm lounge.

CayCay
it really isn't actual bullying it's fine lol

thanks tho Riddle - I knew I could always count on the #besthousewarden!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Aw

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Thank you, Cater

CayCay

Falling Apart

"Darlinsomnias"?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Ugh

NO

Mushroom Man
PFFFT

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Dude

Lucky Clover
Hahaha, that’s a pretty good one!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Who would even say that?

Mama’s Boy
I guess MC would say it, since they said it?

Falling Apart
I like alliteration and bad jokes, okay? don’t judge me bro

CayCay
I thought it was totes adorbs!!

Mushroom Man
I should not have found the word "Darlinsomnias" as funny as I did… I have actual tears in my eyes

Falling Apart

@CayCay, @Lucky Clover thanks hun

@Mushroom Man haha I’m glad you liked it, Jade!

<3

CayCay
of course bb

Lucky Clover
You're welcome!


- Falling Apart changed Sebek to Guard Dog -

Poison Apple
Shouldn't Jack be Guard Dog?

Falling Apart
no?

Cactus
No

Mama's Boy
He is literally a wolf

Falling Apart
have you *met* Sebek though?? he’s pretty much always in ‘protector’ mode

Cactus
I think I prefer this name

Thanks

Guard Dog
Thank you for the nickname! I am grateful that you take notice of my work!

Falling Apart
you’re welcome, Sebek!

anywho,


- Falling Apart changed Silver to Precious Metal -

Precious Metal
er

hello

what is happening

sorry i just woke up so im a little confused

Guard Dog
MC, remember the Young Master as well!

Precious Metal

im sure they wont forget about malleus

wait why is my screen name like that


- Precious Metal changed their name to silver -

Falling Apart
I’ve been changing the nicknames for this chat

and since silver is a precious metal

and you're, you know, Silver?

silver

oh

oh thank you mc

Falling Apart
I thought it might be a cute nickname! :)

silver
you may change it back to that

i did not mean any offense so i offer my sincere apologies

Falling Apart
it's okay Silver, the nicknames are just for fun

besides, the lowercase "silver" suits your personality way better <3

~Squeeze~
@Falling Apart Jade’s still laughing from your stupid joke earlier. I can hear him down the hall.

Falling Apart
haha Jade, darling, are you alright?

Mushroom Man
I

I think I will be soon

Falling Apart
I’ve just… never seen you lose your composure like this before!

Lucky Clover
He once spent two entire days laughing at a shrimp pun I made haha

Falling Apart
oh my gosh, really??

Guard Dog
DO NOT FORGET MALLEUS, MC

@Malleus MASTER

PLEASE COME JOIN THE GROUP CHAT AGAIN

Falling Apart
Sebek

calm yourself please

we don’t need the caps lock

Guard Dog
Ah!! I will avoid that!!

Poison Apple
Y'all've got both sides of the volume spectrum over in Diasomnia, eh?

Fairest of them All
Epel, we're going to have another talk this evening.

- Guard Dog changed their name to PROTECTOR OF WAKASAMA -

Poison Apple
Nnn… yes Vil


- Falling Apart changed Malleus to Tsunotaro -

Poison Apple
WAIT

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Hey

Poison Apple
WHAT

MC

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
MC?

Mama’s Boy
Um, MC?

PROTECTOR OF WAKASAMA
HUMAN! Why have you changed Lord Malleus’s name to something so… low bred!?

This is an INSULT to the Young Master, and to the entirety of Briar Valley!!!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Maybe... rethink that one?

Mushroom Man
Oho? This should be interesting

Tsunotaro
Hello Sebek. Why is it you have called for me?

Falling Apart
oh, hello again Malleus!

PROTECTOR OF WAKASAMA
Hello Young Master!!

silver
hello malleus

Work Hard, Play Hard
Ha… ohh man-

Tsunotaro
Oh.

Hello Silver. Child of Man. Have I missed something?

Falling Apart
I've been changing the nicknames in this group chat to something other than just our names.

you really haven't missed much other than that, aside from a couple side conversations, like one about that thing Grim and I did a while ago that I told you about last week.

You can scroll back to catch up, if you like

Tsunotaro
Ah, I see. And I also see you have given your nickname for me to use in this group-chat?

Falling Apart
yes, I did. are you okay with that?

I can change it back to your real name if you don't want that to be your nickname here

Tsunotaro
No, please leave it be.

It is rather amusing.

Falling Apart
okay!

Mama’s Boy
Huh

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Wow

CayCay
I’ve told you this before, Malleus, but your sense of humour is so cool!! it's, like, so #fresh!

Tsunotaro
Thank you Cater. But I have no better a sense of humour than any other person here.

Falling Apart
you're pretty funny, I must admit. honestly, a lot of you are!

Tsunotaro
Thank you, MC.

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Hey MC?

When you've finished flirting? talking with him, will you come over to Heartslabyul? I could use your help with that animal linguistics homework please and thanks

Oh, Deuce too.

CayCay
☕?

Falling Apart
exCUSE ME??

Ace. darling. say that again out loud, would you? ((:

Mama's Boy
Please MC?

Falling Apart
Cater.

CayCay
☕?

Falling Apart
Cater… no…

CayCay
🤐

Mama's Boy
Oh! Thanks for helping us!

Falling Apart
of course Deuce! I need to do that assignment too, you know! :)

Tsunotaro
If you must leave, I shall not intrude more onto your time. Have a lovely evening everyone.

And thank you for inviting me into this conversation again.

Falling Apart
oh, no worries. have a good evening! (and you're welcome to chat here at any time) :)

PROTECTOR OF WAKASAMA
THANK YOU, MASTER! I Bid You Good Evening, Humans.

Lucky Clover
Thank you - you have a nice evening too!

Azul A.
Thank you. Good evening to you as well, Malleus.

Party Boy

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Thank you Malleus. I believe I will take my leave as well. Good evening, all.

Hunter✨
Oui, we all should rest for the coming day! Good evening, monsieurs!

Poison Apple
Okay, fine

Remember to tell me about the Ramshackle thing later @Falling Apart

G'night!

Falling Apart
For sure!

Mama’s Boy
Talk to you later, Epel!

Cactus
I'm also leaving - I've got a new set of exercises planned for tomorrow morning and I don't want to be tired doing them.

’Night everybody

Falling Apart
alright! bye Jack!!

Azul A.
@Falling Apart My offer to discuss business still stands. And for a little free advice, so could yours with your friends, I believe.

Queen of (Rose)hearts
Oh, @1 in Our Hearts ♥️, @Mama's Boy, @CayCay, @Lucky Clover do not forget that there was turkey at dinner tonight.

CayCay
👍

@everyone byeee!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Right 🙃

Mama's Boy
Thank you, dorm head!

Lucky Clover
I will make certain that the dorm members remember, Riddle

Falling Apart
@Azul A. thank you for the advice, but I probably won't charge my friends for working on our homework together?

also, what was that about turkey there??

Azul A.
Ah, of course.

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Hey, yeah. Please don't make us start paying you for hw help?

Mama's Boy
I don't think I could afford it MC!

Falling Apart
don't worry, I won't

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Haha good

Falling Apart
...

🙂

for now

Mama's Boy
Ehh?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Yo, wtf??

Mushroom Man
Oya? How interesting

Azul A.

@Falling Apart who even are you?

Falling Apart
guys, you know I'm kidding!

Mama’s Boy
Good!

Falling Apart
🙂

probably

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
I don’t think I like you hanging around those Octavinelle boys.

Falling Apart
dude, I pretty much only see them if I take a shift at the Mostro Lounge

and that’s way less often than I see you, so...

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
If you turn out to be some capitalist snake after all this time... 🗡

Falling Apart
really Ace? you already know my stance on all of that

plus, why do you think I help out around the school so much anyways? I'm certainly not being paid well for it

(hence the Mostro Lounge gig)

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
I mean

Crowley?

Falling Apart
...

yeah,

you're right

anyways, I've got to know about that turkey comment Riddle made earlier. like… why??

Mama's Boy
OH

Rule #648: "One must brush one's teeth twice over after eating turkey."

Falling Apart
okay

I would NEVER have guessed that. I wonder why it was made?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
I dunno. But Trey's kind of... very insistent on that rule

Mama's Boy
Sevens, don't remind me

Falling Apart
?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
It's better not to ask, man

Falling Apart
?!

...

okay then...

I think I might understand what Jade was saying earlier now

Mushroom Man
Yes

Though this is new information to me as well. I may need to ask him about this… Fufufu

Falling Apart
😐

huh.

that’s… actually a little concerning.

Mushroom Man
Thank you all for this wonderfully entertaining exchange. Have a pleasant evening, everyone

~Squeeze~

What Jade said

This was fun! Bye!~

Falling Apart
Bye!

Work Hard, Play Hard
Haha bye guys

Mama’s Boy
Goodbye!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
See ya later

Falling Apart
Actually, I should probably head over to Heartslabyul before it gets too late and your dorm leader gets upset. I’ll meet you in the dorm lounge?

and I’ll talk with y'all later!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
"Y’all"? I think you've been spending too much time around Epel, man

Mama's boy
We will see you soon MC!

Viper
It seems we ALL have things to do, so Kalim and I will say our goodbyes as well. Have a pleasant evening.

Party Boy
Aw, but I don't want to stop talking to all of you!! 😭

Viper
Kalim, don’t you still have an assignment to finish tonight?

Party Boy
Yeah. Okay 😢

Goodbye then!! Talk to you all tomorrow!! 👋😊♥️

Work Hard, Play Hard
Ehh, I should go too. Talking doesn't pay the bills haha

Mama's Boy
Goodbye Asim-senpai! Viper-senpai! Bucchi-senpai!

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
lol kissass

Mama's Boy
Hey Ace?

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Yeah?

Mama’s Boy
Come here and say that again to my face

1 in Our Hearts ♥️
Uhhh

Sorry man, I've gotta grab my books before MC gets here haha

Bye!!

Notes:

Hi there! :)

I hope that the boys weren't too out of character - I tried, both with the content and style of their texts, but I don't know how well it turned out. (I also believe my character preference biases were showing a bit - I'm afraid I favoured some characters far above others in this chapter!) I based MC's texting style upon the way I message my own friends, so I hope that that didn't take too much interest away from the fic for you readers. :)

In addition, I am not the most experienced fiction writer (this is my first posted work) so I welcome any criticism, comments, or suggestions you may have! This was also my first attempt at formatting any writing with HTML, so please let me know your thoughts on the formatting too.

I have a few more ideas of where this fic may go in the future, but if you have any thoughts, please feel free to share them.

Thank you! <3
