Ricky: I'm down. what do you want to watch?
Nini: Mmm I don't know, your pick
Ricky: ooo how about Titanic? one of my favorites
Nini: Mine too! Leonardo DiCaprio, I mean you can't go wrong *laughs*
Ricky: *laughs* plus the whole Titanic story is so fascinating. terribly sad, but fascinating
Nini: This is who I like. The geeky you. Fascinated by a shipwreck from 1912 and not some stuck-up blonde girl.
Ricky: *smiles* ew you make me sound like a geeky nerd with no life *laughs* *I set up the movie on my tv*
Nini: You know that's not what I meant *laughs* Again, I just like the real you so so much
Ricky: I'm glad *smiles* *I sit on my bed and signal you to come sit by me*
Nini: *I walk over and sit down kinda far away*
Ricky: hey!
Nini: What?
Ricky: come sit by me!
Nini: Oh sorry. I just didn't know how close you wanted me
Ricky: I wanna hold you... I'm sorry- is that weird?
Nini: I've just never umm... cuddled someone before like this.
Ricky: I guess I'll have to fill your 1st's spot for that too
Nini: I guess so *I scoot over* What do you need me to do?
Ricky: absolutely nothing *I hug you next to me*
Nini: *smiles* I like this
Ricky: me too *the movie starts*
Nini: I'm sorry that I make things so awkward and weird sometimes. This is all just so new to me and-
Ricky: no your totally fine. I'm just happy I get to be the one to share all these moments with you
Nini: Me too *I wrap my arms around your waist* Is this okay?
Ricky: more than okay *smiles and I kiss the top of your head*

*about half way though the movie*

Chloe: *walks in Ricky's room* Hi Ricky! What are you watchi- oh hi Nini
Ricky:*I sit up* Chloe, you have to knock okay
Chloe: Oh, okay I'm sorry
Ricky: it's okay *laughs*
Chloe: are you guys watching Titanic?
Ricky: we are indeed miss clever clover
Nini: Aww that's such a cute nickname!
Chloe: Well it's because I'm so cute *laughs*
Ricky: clever... because she's smart and clover like a 4 leaf clover like I'm lucky to have her *laughs*
Nini: Ricky, that's so sweet
Chloe: Do you want me to leave so you guys can watch your movie?
Ricky: *nods* we'll play with you later Chloe, I promise
Chloe: Okay, have fun watching your movie! *walks out*
Ricky: sorry about her... we usually have our movie nights together *laughs*
Nini: *laughs* Don't be sorry. I love Chloe, but I'd prefer for us to have this movie night alone
Ricky: yeah me too

*we finish the movie*

Nini: *wipes eyes* That movie is so sad. I can't believe I agreed to watch it knowing I'd have an emotional breakdown right after
Ricky: *I wipe a tear off your cheek* oh I'm sorry
Nini: You're okay. I'm just emotional *laughs*
Ricky: *laughs* Oh your phones ringing
Nini: Who the heck would be face timing me?- Oh! It's my brother, do you mind?
Ricky: Of course not, go ahead. *I answer the call* Hi Finny! What's up?
Finnick: Hey Nina... where are- oh in now a bad time?
Nini: No you're okay. We just finished our movie
Finnick: we? are you with Ricky?
Nini: I am indeed
Ricky: Hey Finnick
Nini: Aww this time when you said "hi" he's not interrogating you *laughs*
Finnick: Hey! I was just trying to protect my baby sister...
Ricky: It's all good man. I'd do the same thing if it was my little sister
Nini: Chloe has you wrapped around her little finger. You'd do anything for that girl
Ricky: I love her to death, I'd do anything for her
Finnick: and would you do anything for Nini?
Nini: Finn-
Ricky: I- *kind of hesitates* I- would
Nini: *smiles* I know you would
Ricky: *smiles* yeah
Finnick: *looks at Ricky kind of funny but moves past it* So what did you guys watch?
Nini: We decided on Titanic but Nini forgot that she was gonna have a breakdown after when she agreed on a movie *laughs*
Finnick: *laughs* oh gos
Nini: So, what's going on with you Finny?
Finnick: Nothing much. I just got home from class and Prof. Sneezershouse wasn't there today. Kind of odd *laughs*
Ricky: I'm sorry... Prof. Sneezershouse? *laughs*
Nini: Yep, Sneezershouse *laughs*
Finnick: he's my advanced calculus teacher *laughs* he's- well, he's just a character
Ricky: oh *laughs*
Nini: At least he's more entertaining than Mr. Mazzara. I'd much rather be stuck in a room with a crazy Calculus teacher *laughs*
Ricky: Oh he hates me
Nini: No, he hates fake Ricky
Finnick: Ricky do you think your gonna try and change who you are at school?
Ricky: I-
Nini: Finnick, remember what I said
Finnick: I know but like he's killing his grades. Junior year matters. It matters probably the most out of all of high school
Ricky: I understand what I'm doing is absolutely stupid, but I can't change, not yet anyway
Nini: Ricky, I know you know what you're doing but please just make sure you don't overdue things and majorly mess up.
Ricky: I promised you I'd bring my grades up and I have... just enough to see my tutors working. I can't just all the sudden get a 100 on a test. They'd just think I'm cheating
Nini: I know. I just want you to be happy and be able to be yourself. I don't want you to keep hiding
Ricky: I have to, okay?! Just give me time. I'm sorry
Nini: It's okay, I understand. Sorry for going off on you
Ricky: it's fine. Don't worry about it. Sorry I got all defensive
Finnick: just work toward it okay Ricky?
Ricky: yeah, yeah okay.
Nini: Well I'll let you go Finny, make sure you keep me updated on Sneezershouse *laughs*
Finnick: will do *laughs* I'll talk to you later.. bye Ricky
Ricky: *waves to camera*
Nini: Bye, love you!
Finnick: I love you too *hangs up*
