The next day
At school
Adele and Demi in Music class
Adele: Hey did you get added to that group chat by Joe?
Demi: N-no? He tried to m-message me though b-but I ignored h-him.
Adele: He actually seemed like he was sorry in the message he sent.
Demi: R-really?
Adele: Yeah, I'll show you.
Adele gets her phone out and shows Demi the message
Demi takes the phone and reads the message
Demi: Huh. It does s-sound like he m-meant it.
Adele: Yeah, I think he does. Maybe he finally realised how shitty he's been acting.
Demi: Either t-that or Ethan t-told him to say s-something.
Adele: I don't think so, he was in the chat as well.
Demi: Oh.
Adele: He probably tried to message you individually cause it was more about you than us.
Demi: Y-yeah. I'm n-not ready to t-talk to him about it y-yet though I d-don't think, I d-don't know, it's j-just a lot.
Adele: Yeah that's fair enough.
Later, at lunch...
Adele and Demi at a table
Kayla comes rushing down the hallway towards them and sits at the table
Kayla: Did you guys get that message from Joe!?
Adele: Yeah I did.
Demi: I d-didn't b-but I've s-seen it.
Kayla: Pah yeah it was 'an apology.' I bet he copied and pasted it from somewhere or something stupid.
Demi: I thought Ethan s-said to h-him about it to b-be honest.
Kayla: Oh my god I didn't even think of that! (Laughs) He probably told him what to write and everything. Man it's funny.
Adele: Speaking of.
Joe walks over to the group
Joe: Hey guys. Did you get my text?
Adele: Yeah we did Joe, thanks for saying sorry.
Kayla: Yeah thanks.
Joe: And Dem, did you, err, see my message?
Demi: Shit, n-no s-sorry, I was b-busy.
Joe: Could I talk to you then? Alone?
Demi: I g-guess.
Demi and Joe move away from Adele and Kayla
Joe: I just wanna say I'm sorry, again. And I was wondering would you be up for coming round mine later?
Demi: Joe!?
Joe: What?
Joe realises what he said
Joe: Oh no no, not in that way. (Laughs lightly) I mean come round so we can talk and I can explain last night, properly.
Demi stayed silent
Joe: Please Dem. At least let me explain.
Demi: Ok...b-but I c-can't s-stay long.
Joe: That's fine, I just need to say what I need to and then you can leave and we don't have to speak again, if you want that.
