Texter's POV

Time: 3:02 p.m.

Fern: Hey Raymond, I'm back.

Raymond: Hey Fern.

Raymond: So, which of my siblings was it? Darrell or Shannon?

Fern: Well, it turns out it was both.

Raymond: Oh, so we were both right.

Fern: Yup, too bad their battle didn't last long though.

Raymond: Heh, well, they don't know how to fight like moi~. ✨🌹

Fern: I suppose so~.

Raymond: 😏

Raymond: Hey, Fern?

Fern: Yeah?

Raymond: Do you trust me?

Fern: Well, yeah.

Fern: I mean, we've known each other for a week, and I've never enjoyed someone's company as much as I do with you.

Fern: ...Why do you ask?

Raymond: Well, it's just that, lately I've been feeling like you've been keeping something to yourself.

Raymond: Something that you don't what anyone to know about.

Raymond: Are you really hiding something? I need to know.

Fern: ...

Raymond: Fern?

Fern: Yes.

Fern: Yes, I am.

Fern: I'll tell you what it is tonight.

Fern: Okay with you?

Raymond: Yes. It is.

Raymond: I'll see you tonight Fern.

Fern: Same here.

Fern's POV

   I managed to get home early since I finished my work earlier than usual. I had just closed the door to my room when I thought to myself; 'Well, it's actually happening.' I checked my phone to see how long it'll be before Raymond gets here. 'It's 7:02 p.m., in 28 minutes, I'm actually going to tell someone my past.' Am I nervous? Yes. Am I worried? INCREDIBLY! I'm honestly not even sure if Raymond will even want to be near me after this! I've been hiding my past from, well, basically everyone!

   Well, the only one who knows about my past would be Mr. Gar, but I doubt he'll tell anyone. But more to the point, I'm really worried about the consequences of what I'm going to do. You're probably wondering why I'm telling you this, right after when I called you a pervert. Well, I really need to talk to someone about it, even though you can't exactly talk back to me.
