Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
sup NERD
so when are you getting here
wanna be the first person you see
sweep you off your feet with best friendship and kickass hair
Me
Chloe, I promise best friendship is all you need to sweep me off my feet! :) but I do love your new hair.
Plus, I'm... Already here, actually...
My plan was to surprise you but then I remembered I don't know my way around Blackwell, so I'm just kinda waiting where I am.
Chloe?
Please come get me. People are staring
CHLOE HELP THIS LARGE GUY IS CHATTING ME UP ABORT ABORT
HE'S SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT SKATING AND SCHOOL SPIRIT. HE ALSO CALLED ME DUDETTE.
MY HAND HURTS FROM THE SHEER POWER OF HIS HIGH FIVE (>﹏<)
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
NO EMOJI
omfg chill babe I'm gonna get you!
so sorry i was kinda distracted for a second there! describe your surroundings to me
lmfaoooo that sounds like trevor tbh i don't think there's anything he isn't excited about
if he hurt you fr tho he'll hate it. tell him chloe said to back off
Me
It's fine! I'm fine!
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you didn't tell me Living Stereotypes roamed the halls of Blackwell. I saw a flock of Polished Hipsters walk by, just before I got accosted by a Skater Boy
We're standing by this goofy looking statue in the courtyard??
He says his name is Trevor!! He also says hi
Dudette :')
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
blackhell is like mean girls with more hipsters and gays. tell him i said wat up
ALSO YES i knew i wasn't the only one who thought that statue looks stupid af
don't tell that to nathan prescott tho. he swears that's like his great great great great uncle or some dumb crap like that. that old man blackwell married into the prescotts.
you will meet him later, probs!
he's a giant asshole but he's rachel's friend so we gotta tolerate him
Me
Do you think she'll like me?
You guys are so cool and I'm so me.
I don't want to seem all dorky to your bff
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
i will SLAP YOU
YOU'RE my bff too
you are totally cool. a cool dork. the best dork.
and rachel is really excited to meet you
honestly between you and me she seems a little TOO excited
she can be a bit much
Me
A bit much? That makes me worry, coming from you!
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
omfg no i mean it
best to take her in small doses you feel
tell me if she ever makes you feel weird but if i can help it the two of you won't be left alone
Me
That seems a little extreme, but if you say so, I guess??
Where are you anyway? Are you close?
I wanna take a photo of us when you get here. To commemorate seeing each other again after all this time
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
gay
Me

Rach
So is that your way of saying that one day, down the road, that answer might change?
Just. You know, for science.
Me
RACHEL
Rach
I'm just joking! Slow your roll.
Nothing but Sweet Rachel for your friend.
Gotta make sure we can have a cohesive thing here.
Me
something's up, i just know it
a few days ago you couldn't stop pouting about how Unhappy you were at having to share
please don't do that thing where you're sweet at first and then you get pushy and mean
Rach
When have I ever done that?
Me
did you want a list of names or
Rach
You wound me.
Reading you loud and clear, by the way.
Me
omfg don't do this
rachel
i'm sorry
Rach
Talk to you later, Chloe.
Love you lots. Save some kisses for me.
Me
no hey look we will meet you
where you at.
but you have to promise no funny business. sweet rachel. smile so your dimples show rachel. friendly rachel but not flirty Rachel.
max is really super shy and just wants to be your friend too
Rach
Great!!
I'm at the beach. This is going to be awesome.
Me
can i get an order of sweet and friendly but not flirty rachel with a side of extra deep dimples
Rach
Coming right up!!
You want fries with that? :) :) :) :)
cutie with the freckles
Me
Hey, gorgeous! It was so nice to meet you the other day.
Chloe couldn't stop talking about how excited she was that you were coming back to the Bay.
cutie with the freckles
Oh my gosh, hi Rachel! Just call me Max please!
It was nice to meet you too. Hope Chloe didn't talk your ear off about me. It couldn't have been interesting
Me
Actually, it was way interesting. Love the story about the wine tasting session. Me and Chloe do worse on a regular basis, though.
And your pics were really rad. I was wondering if you'd want to take pictures of me?
I am kind of a model, after all.
cutie with the freckles
Are you serious? I'd love to do that.
Are you psychic btw? I saw you and really wanted to take pictures of you and Chloe.
Ugh that sounded really weird didn't it? I'm sorry!! Creepy photographer talk will be turned down to zero!!
Rachel?
Me
Max, it's totally okay. Haha. It's cute.
You can get pics of me and Chloe later. This time I'm all yours ;)
Meet me after school today?
cutie with the freckles
Sure, where at? I have nothing better to do!
Thanks by the way! I'll bet you're gonna be a great model!
Me
My last class is Jefferson's, so how about you wait for me by his door?
There's this junkyard. Me and Chloe kill time there a lot. I'll drive you and we'll have a rustic photoshoot.
See you soon :)
xoxoxoxoxo
Rachel
Rachel
Nathan, oh my god. Chloe's friend.
She's like, immune to flirting. I could see her blushing but she never acknowledged anything.
I even did the arm touch thing. The hey-I'm-touching-your-arm-look-up-oops-I'm-smiling-at-you-now-so-you-have-to-smile-back-and-maybe-laugh- thing.
And she like?? She did smile and blush and laugh, but then it was right to business!! Stone cold!
Also, I've got something else to tell you about her.
Me
oh my ducking
*duck
*FUCK goddammit
new phone you dig

*LESBO what hte duCK
FUCK
Rachel
LMAO.
I'm not even gay, you ass.
Me

ugh i hate it when u get like this
ur like impossible you see someone that catches your eye and it's like ur a shark and u smelled blood
nobody's gonna b able to talk to u bc you're gonna be all over this girl
smothering her with friendship nd low-key sapphic shit
Rachel
Okay, first of all, cool it. I have Things To Say.
Me

Rachel
I was going to say that she's a great photographer and you guys can share notes, but okay.

If you want to complain about how I'm not going to be fun anymore because I'm trying to be friendly, that's cool, too.
Me
ok that is actually rly good she made u look like u have a soul
also calm your tots Rach damn
*tits wtf
Rachel
This is like, what, your third phone this month?
Maybe learn to control those fits of anger. Then you won't have to worry about auto-correct.
Me
fuck u
Rachel
I think you mean duck u :) :) :) :)
Me
I s2g rach
Rachel
Besides, Chloe said hands off.
But that doesn't mean I can't talk to her.
Me
yea
talk
Rachel
Honestly Nathan, what I was actually going to say was that I feel a little weird about this.
Like. I was totally prepared to hate her but she's genuinely Good
Me
why would u hate some1 u don't know tho
Rachel
Don't even joke, Nathan, you do that all the time!
Because Chloe like, looks at her like she invented sliced bread. I am no longer the one who invented sliced bread.
And things have been weird between us since the party.
Me
why don't u tell her how u feel
WTF u r legit pussyfooting around like??
do u see the way she looks at u even
i don't get girls i feel like i need to consult vic so she can explain these weird gay feelings
Rachel
Tell her how I feel about what? Coming from you, relationship advice is rich.
You will NOT be doing that! I won't hear the end of it!!
Me
too late
Rachel
Nathan!!!
You didn't!!!
>>>>>>:{{{{{{ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me
xoxoxoxo
Vic
Me
help rachel is being gay and girly and i don't understand
Vic
?????
Details??
Me
a lady friend of price is back in town
and it's like rachel can't decide if she hates the lady friend or if she wants to get into her pants
Vic
Are you serious Nate?
That sounds really dumb??
Me
i couldn't make this up if i tried tbh it's so fuckin stupid
remember what happened at the last vortex club thing
Vic
I think so but what does that have to do with anything?
You're confusing me a little
Me
that's why rachel has her panties in a knot she says things are still weird but like???
she won't even tell chloe what's up
but i thought when girls are best friends they like tell each other their deepest darkest secrets
and cry and hug about it and shot
*shit. fuck this phone
and if they're gay deep dark secrets about each other they kiss and are still best friends but they kiss
isn't that what you do with taylor
Vic
VERY SUBTLE NATHAN
I keep telling you nothing is up with me and Taylor!!! And if you're telling the truth about Rachel why does it matter
They'll kiss and make up and sweep it under the rug of repression eventually
Me
what!!!!! omg!!! i was just asking a question!!!!
vic i go to u to explain weird girl feelings
and i get more weird girl feelings!!!!
Vic
I love ya Nate but I think you need to lay down... you're a little too invested in this
Me
ur supposed to be on my side
remember that

Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

You're literally sitting behind me
I'm not a science whiz like you, I actually need to pay attention
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
hear me out babe.
friday.

im thinking you bring the candles and ill supply the wine and slow jams.
Me
Why, Miss Price!
Are you trying to woo me?!?! :')
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
not on your life NERD
it's a serious offer though. mom wants to see you. coo over you probs. check to see if you have the right number of fingers and toes.
+ what did i say about emojis max. evil. horrible.
Me
Awwwh I would love to see Joyce again! Friday sounds great
Should I bring anything?
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
just bring yourself lmao you know mom. she treats you better than me tbh
she will be foaming out of the mouth at the chance to feed you
warning though step ass is a hardass. and rachel will be there. she's probably bringing a friend.
Me
Ahhh speaking of Rachel!! She's so nice to let me take photos of her the other day!
I have to show them to you
Gotta get both of you guys together next time (^ ^)
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
when,,,,,, did you take photos of rachel
Me
It was Tuesday, after I came back??
She texted me to ask if I wanted to hang out??
We went to that junkyard you guys hang out at. So cool. She was really nice
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
shit boi i die boi
max omg,,,,, omg
Me
What's wrong?
Are you mad
Do you want to see the pics? I can still take photos of you too?
Talk to meeeee :'(
Chloe ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
it's nothing max
just remember friday
see you then
Rach
Me
yes im returning to tell you my order of sweet and friendly but not flirty rachel with extra deep dimples on the side was wrong??
you must have given it to the wrong person??
because i have had news of what was probably flirty rachel running around with max?????????????
also the fries were soggy??????????????????????
Rach
What??????
:O :O :O :O
Couldn't have been!!
The Amber Delicatessen only serves the best and most accurate of meals!!
I was totally friendly!
Max takes really good pictures, by the way! It's almost like we were destined to be besties!
Me
omg you are such a brat!!
your lil confused horrible emojis aren't fooling me,,, you,,, you libertine. you absolute cad. you scoundrel.
Rach
In all seriousness, yes, I did kinda maybe sort of flirt with her?
But she either ignored me, or it went right over her head.
Me
im guessin it was probably the second one tbh
are you satisfied now? can we not do this?
you can't have your cake and eat it too. or is it two cakes?? especially when one cake is totally willing and has known you longer
and wants to protect the second cake who is very sweet but not for ingesting
Rach
Is this some weird metaphor about the state of our friendship?
I really am sorry, Chloe. I don't know what's up with me.
Hey, I feel like this isn't the kind of conversation we should be having over text. Wanna skip with me tomorrow? Talk it out a little bit?
Me
ugh you're the worst
sure but you owe me ive got a lab report due tomorrow
oh yeah!!! friday mom wants you to come to dinner. she wants to fawn over you and max probs.
she said you can bring a friend if you want. but get this. she said frank isn't invited lmAO
Rach
ARE YOU SERIOUS LMAO
I am WHEEZING
IT WAS THE BEANS, WASN'T IT. IT WAS TOTALLY THE BEANS INCIDENT.
Me
lmao PROBABLY and the fact that he's a total neckbeard
what did you see in him im still gagging
Rach
We don't discuss the Disappointment in this house.
But yeah. Anyway. Mrs. Wayans is glaring at me for texting on my phone, so. I'll let you go. See you tomorrow? Want to go in the morning?
And then afterwards, we can maybe go out to eat with Max? I'll pay.
As a do-over, I mean. I really am sorry. I'll try to actually get to know her this time. I didn't really have the kindest intentions the other day and I kind of feel like shit now.
Me
yeah rachel. that sounds nice. we should do that.
txt later babe.
Rach
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo :)
