oh my god emmy

wake up!!

did you hear about jared??

em;

huh? 

what happened??

mikey;

some dude suckerpunched him at practice this morning

like full on broke his nose

em;

did they say who did it??

mikey;

no, some tall dude in a hoodie

em;

well

he deserved it

mikey;

what??

i thought you guys hit it off

em;

we did

until you and sam went to naked wrestle

mikey;

we did not

em;

whatever

after you and sam left he walked me back to my hall

and got handsy and nasty

so i kicked him in the nuts

and ran inside

mikey;

what the fuck

emmy why didn't you call me?

em;

i didn't want you to feel bad

jared seemed nice

but he's just a douche

mikey;

sam and i would have come to make sure you were okay

emmy

god, are you okay?

em;

i'm fine

i called my...friend, thing, whatever he is

he helped a lot

he stayed on the phone until i fell asleep

mikey;

although i'm upset you didn't call

i'm really glad he was there for you

em;

me too, i like him a lot

mikey;

as in

like-like? ;)

em;

i mean

i don't know

it's complicated

he's not ready for me to know who he is yet

mikey;

isn't that kind of weird?

em;

no, he's just

insecure

he has a really nice voice, though

and he calls me sweetheart

mikey;

ew

stop

i don't wanna hear your gushy lovey garbage

em;

shut up michael

let me be happy

mikey;

okay, okay

does he like you too?

em;

i really don't know

i hope so?

mikey;

why don't you just

oh i don't know

ask him???

em;

because we're still basically strangers!

he only knows my nickname because he heard sam say it

i barely know anything about him

mikey;

you guys have been talking for weeks

i don't have a good feeling about this

em;

you say that all the time, mikey

mikey;

i don't like that you have a crush on some anonymous weirdo

this isn't going to go well, emmy

and you know it

em;

just

leave it alone, okay?

mikey;

okay.
