'Distant'

'Text'

"Hello?"

"Hey!"

"Oh, you actually answered!"

"Heh. What made you think I wouldn't? I'm not that stuck up."

"I didn't say that. I just thought you'd avoid me because of...you know who."

"Who? John? He's harmless. Lol. He acts like a jerk when he thinks someone is trying to take his "property". It's real douchey, I know, but I don't blame him for being protective. I'm SO sorry, though. I hate it when he f's around with my friends."

"You really like him, huh?"

"Lol. I'm not sure, tbh. He says he loves me and stuff, and I say it back, but actions speak much louder than words. He's been hanging around Vanna and keeping secrets way too often for me to feel any love from him."

"I know what you mean...Brittany has been acting similar. Except, well, much more distant. She doesn't tell me anything, she avoids me, and only comes to me when she wants to rant. It's like I'm invisible for one day and then a brick wall the next!"

"Lol. Woah, what a bitch."

"I know, I know. But she's still my girlfriend, so don't be rude! I saw how you were towards John and couldn't help but to feel bad...it seems like you care for him so much but then you just get laughed at for it."

"Heh, look at us talking about our dysfunctional relationships like a couple of soccer moms. :)"

"Yeah, lol. Got to admit though, it's nice to just let go. Even if we'll just jump right back into the fray minutes later."

"Ooh. DQ puns. Love 'em."

"Lmao"

"So what exactly did you want to talk about? You messaged me first, remember?"

"Oh...yeah. I wanted to say sorry for, uh, 'flirting' earlier. I don't want you to get the wrong idea..."

"Lol, don't apologize. You're the coolest/sweetest guy ever. John can't hurt you. Besides, it's better own up to the compliments you give a lady. ;)"

"Lol. You're pretty cool, too. I feel so lucky to have you as a friend!"

"We're officially besties. I won't take no for an answer. I have to go now, though, so I'll see you around~ Bye Bestie~"

"Awh. Lol. I'll see you later!"
