(05:02 PM) He was pissing me off
(05:03 PM) he literally only greeted us
(05:04 PM) I still don’t like him
(05:05 PM) ANYWAYS
(05:06 PM) you had been awake for more than 30 hours so u have no right to lecture me
(05:07 PM) Fine
(05:08 PM) So, you’re skipping dinner tonight, right?

(11:36 PM) maybe something like ‘i really like you and i don’t wanna mess things up but would you like to go out some time?’
(11:38 PM) I really like you and I don’t wanna mess things up but would you like to go out some time?
