♡ 45 - the world according to virge ♡

When Roman and Virgil arrived at Roman's house, they sped through their homework (with a little - a lot - of help from Logan) and then watched TV for a while.

Roman insisted on watching Tangled and Virgil insisted on watching Friends, and in the end, Friends won and Virgil selected the show.

After watching maybe five...

Seasons...

They turned off the TV and hugged.

"We're doing that Carrie thing tomorrow, right?" Roman asked.

"Yup."

"What time?"

"Probably 3 pm or something. I'll text the group chat."

Virgil: hey are y'all free at 3 pm tmrw bc if we had a time set to film the vid i don't remember what it was

Romano ♡: yeah, I don't remember lol

Calypso 🐟: and neither does the author even tho she could totally look back into previous chapters and check rn so she wouldn't be so unsure

Virgil: do you always have to do that

Calypso 🐟: yes

Romano ♡: anyway. Is everyone free?

Patt 🐕: ...Virgil and Roman started texting at the same time

And then it was Saturday and Virgil was waving in the camera's direction. "Hi, so we're gonna do a cover of a thing... Enjoy!" he said.

Everyone was sitting on the floor and they started singing. High notes weren't Virgil's strong suit, and for a split second, he thought Patton should've been Chris before realizing Patton could never, ever be Chris. There was just no way Patton's bubbly and sweet personality could match Chris' badass and mean voice. Still, Virgil envied his range.

Roman was the most annoying one, Billy, and since he played Ram, he did it really well.

(Chris)

Guess what, ever since the world began,

Same plot, everyone's been dumping on their fellow man,

Pounding people they feel better than.

I hope you're taking notes 'cause

You feel everyone deserves a shot,

Get real,

Some of us have got it going,

Some got squat,

That's the truth, oh honey, like it or not.

I hate to break it to you.

My daddy taught me you get nowhere being nice,

So now I'm sharing his advice:

The world according to Chris is

Better to strike than get struck,

Better to screw than get screwed,

You'd probably think it's bizarre,

But that's the way things are.

So Billy, you've been in high school for like, what? Seven years? So tell me,

Am I right or am I right?

When they finished, Virgil said "please don't learn from anything said in this song," and his shoulders were rid of a tension he didn't know was there in the first place before.

A few minutes later, his phone vibrated.

Hello Virgil,

I wanted to check if you'd written any letters yet. If not, week's detention and I will contact your mother to book you a therapy session.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Ebony

"Jesus fucking Christ, when does it end?" he groaned as he started cutting ends of the clips. He started typing a response back.

Hello Mrs. Ebony,

Yes, I've written a letter. We chill now?

From,
Virgil

She didn't need a "sincerely".

He received an email back almost instantly. Jesus, she acted like a scary, clingy girlfriend.

Hello Virgil,

Thank you for responding. Would you care to show me?

Sincerely,
Mrs. Ebony

And again he replied.

Nope. :)

From,
Virgil
