Bree: and Dani knows it too
Bree: (keep this all a secret from Fred)

Conner: (I AM a little surprised she still likes him after all this time..)
Bree: This feels like a circus
Conner: except for once we aren't the clowns :)
Conner: but unrequited love sucks :(
Conner: To go on another tangent, imagine all the double dates we could do if one of our friends start dating someone [heart]
Bree: [heart]
Conner is typing...
Conner: I have my bets on fred
Conner: Like I Don't Think he likes someone but lots of people are crushing on him
Bree: Yep
Conner is typing...
Conner: he always whines about being single but he never flirts seriously lmao. he's a playboy but no one gets hurt because everyone knows that's just how he is if you get me
Bree: well he can take his time
Conner: true
Bree: Hmm
Bree: What type of person do you think is right for him?
Conner: uhHhHh someone who can put up with him? Someone who stops him from being stupid and impulsive
Conner: Ngl that's a good qs bc I haven't really thought about it
Conner: actyally i realized he doesn't talk much about crushes with me??? Like he says so and so is hot and attractive but he's never admitted he's got a crush if he ever has one
Conner is typing...
Conner: Btw he once called YOU hot to rile me up
Bree: LMAO??? I'm flattered???
Conner: I was in middle school and still unaware of my crush
Bree: Ohh Conner...
Conner: but yeah I think you're hot [heart]

You have 2 new messages from "fred >///<".
"hallo dani"
"Can I ask you for a favour?"
Sent: 9:27pm
Received: 9:43pm

Danielle had spent approximately fifteen minutes jumping around the house in her anxiety, her heart racing. She finally clicked on the message.
-
September 20. 9:43pm.
Danielle: sure
Fred is typing...
-
Danielle watched with bated breath. What was this mysterious favour? What would be the contents of her first ever DM with her first crush? It probably wasn't anything special, yet still she clung onto the hope.
-
Fred: This is about Eugene
Fred: ur friends with him right
-
Danielle collapsed on a nearby chair.
What the hell was Eugene No-Middle-Name Lee doing in their conversation?
-
Danielle: yeah lol
Fred: ok good
Fred: as the captain of the basketball team I have a feeling he's not feeling the best lately
Fred: but he doesn't let me get through him
Fred: (which is fine, I probably scare him LOL)
Fred: so it would be nice if u could check on him and make sure he's ok
Fred: nth too much
Danielle: oooh ic
Danielle: ok!
Danielle: btw he seems fine
Danielle: at least when he's with me idk
Fred: Thanks dani!
Fred: (I can call you dani right)
-
Danielle paused, a furious blush on her cheeks. Her reply automatically popped in her head, some sort of romantic heroine with an exaggerated drawl:
"You can call me whatever you like. My name is whatever you decide."
She hurriedly banished those stupid fantasies and tried to think of something that was actually normal.
-
Danielle: yeah lol
-
(Danielle tried not to think about how many "lol"s she'd awkwardly inserted into the conversation because she didn't know what to say.)
The conversation ended after that. Why was it so awkward? But at least Fred seemed to have forgotten the mess that happened in middle school, when people somehow found out about Danielle's crush and mocked her relentlessly for it.

September 20. 11:13pm.
Danielle: so anyways what does one do when your crush dms you to ask about another guy
Bree: oh my god Eugene Lee stole your man
Bree: (except he's not even your man)
Danielle: HELPPPPPPPP
Danielle: i can't take this anymore lol
Danielle: and like. hes still whipped for Alex right
Bree: uhh it's all speculation anyway
Danielle: i thought it was obvious...
Bree: I mean. It kinda is.
Bree: but the entire school just chooses not to see it for whatever reason
Bree: if he still has feelings, Fred absolutely doesn't speak about it and afaik the twins don't know
Danielle: wait reli
Danielle: not even ur bf—
Bree: Haha no
Bree: he's still dense
Bree: (And I can tell when he's lying :P)
Danielle: fred :handshake: me
Danielle: bad at getting over middle school crushes
Bree: Add me and Conner to the mix LOL
Danielle: a friend group of absolute clowns
Danielle: ok and yeh worst part is
Danielle: i don't even wanna date him???
Danielle: like i have a really bad crush. but that's it
Danielle: its just unrealsouc
Danielle: *unrealistic
Danielle: and he's out of my league anyway har har har
Bree: Lol I don't think so
Bree: if anything YOU'RE out of his league :)
Danielle: LKFNFKSNDKAHDKA NOOooo
Danielle: are you roasting him
Bree: ahem Miss Dani don't YOU always roast him
Danielle: lol...

A/N: ... Danielle's really showing her Twitter roots. She's clowning.
Also I've accidentally typed "doc" with an "i" instead of an "o" too many times. Was debating on whether to include it as a legitimate typo in the fic, but the second hand embarrassment is too much (especially in a school project situation).
Bree the mutitexting queen. Trying to be professional in the project chat while trying to calm Dani down while complaining to Conner.
Conner is totally unaware of Fred's feelings for Alex despite Bree hinting lmao. Dani's crush on Fred (in middle school) was a widely known fact, to the point even Conner "dense idiot" Bailey is aware, but not a lot of people know she's still crushing on him.
By the way, I've wanted to include the characters' MBTI for a while but couldn't figure out where to put them, so I'm just stuffing them here :) Discussion is welcomed!
Alex: IXFJ
Fred: ESFP
Conner: ENFP
Bree: ISTP
Danielle: ISFP
Eugene: INTP
Alex and Fred are both tricky for me. Fred could be a ESTP, just a very friendly and nice one. I originally typed Alex as INFJ, but I think she can also be a ISFJ. I think canon Alex is more INFJ while MIAB Alex is more ISFJ.
Looking at this, I've realized that Fred and Bree really match lmao. I guess that's why people ship Free? Bree is a very easygoing introvert, and while she can be an ambivert, I think she receives a lot of her energy from alone time. Bree is also close to being a INTP, so I think she's a balanced character.
And a question: do you want to see character profiles? I can put them somewhere for convenience :)
Thanks for reading, and as always comments are greatly appreciated! <3
