walker

i was hoping you'd say that.

you

sitting next to violet isn't horrible so far. but i miss sitting with someone whose favorite bagel flavor i know.

walker

yeah. wish i could relate. madeline has been telling me a lot about herself.

maeve

i was about to say to get a room but now i need to know what she's said.

walker

she made it clear before we even said hi that she in fact did not cheat on whoever michael is. she said the other guy had the same hair as him and she thought it was her boyfriend.

didn't you say that i have michael's hair too? how generic am i?

maeve

don't worry. madeline is obviously saying that so you consider dating her. she's trying to clear her record so you can turn it, if you know what i mean.

walker

i actually don't know what you mean

you

i think maeve should get her phone taken away instead.

maeve

me too

walker

okay well i understood the first part. i agree. she's definitely trying to get me interested in her.

i mean, she's pretty. but she's also pretty annoying if i'm being honest.

as i read that text, my insides turned inside out and then back within seconds. i never thought i would be so happy to see the word "but."

you

yeah

maeve

totally. i went to elementary school with her. some people don't change.

but i'm glad you have, y/n.

you

i haven't changed completely. i'm still gonna go for now because my dad said to connect with violet. 

plus she's probably going to beat me to it sooner or later. isn't she a good student?

maeve

i'm pretty sure. 

actually, i have no clue. i know nothing about her apart from the fact that she's friends with madeline.

walker

same. she hasn't talked my ear off enough to tell me about her friends.

you

i'll let you guys know what she's like. see ya tomorrow!

i swiped up the messages app on my phone and opened instagram. copying what walker did to find me, i searched up violet on the school's page. it read "no users found" in gray. then i checked my class list and found her last name. owsinski -- you don't hear that everyday. i typed that in to see if maybe her username had her last instead of her first name, but i got the same note. so i went to madeline's profile in hopes of violet being tagged in one of her posts.
