After the friends had all exchanged usernames, Blue was added to a Skype groupchat. She was laying on her bed, looking down at her phone, unsure of whether she should initiate the call or wait for someone else to do so. Her decision was made for her when Skype rang.
She accepted the call and was met with Gansey's face. Gansey's lovely, wonderful face. She couldn't help smiling uncontrollably, and Gansey smiled back just as enthusiastically, and his smile was beautiful and he was beautiful and the moment was beautiful.
"Oh my God, hi," Blue said, letting a tiny laugh escape her mouth.
"Hello," Gansey said, his grin widening as he laughed along.
"Holy shit. Oh my God, you're real," Blue continued.
Gansey chuckled. "Indeed, I'm real, and I see you are too. And you're even more beautiful on Skype than you are in pictures."
Blue smiled. She wasn't used to people being so nice to her. Most people in school wouldn't as much as speak to her, much less compliment her. "Thank you, oh my God, so are you."
"Thank you," Gansey smiled back.
"You're welcome."
A third box popped up on the screen, as well as a line of text that read, Noah Czerny has joined the call. After a few seconds of Skype buffering, Noah showed up on the screen.
"Hi, Noah!" Blue exclaimed. She and Noah had Skyped many times before, and for them it was just routine at this point, no awkwardness.
"Hey, Blue!" Noah replied, a big smile on his face. "And Gansey, oh my God! Hi!"
"Hello!" Gansey greeted Noah.
"Dude, you're real!" Noah said.
"That's what I said!" Blue exclaimed.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"You guys say oh my God a lot," Gansey pointed out.
"Thank you for noticing," Blue deadpanned.
Ronan was the next person to join the call. "'Sup, motherfuckers?" he yelled into the mic.
Blue and Gansey, who were wearing headphones, winced at the noise.
"Christ, Ronan," Gansey said. "Is that necessary?"
"Um, yes, obviously," Ronan replied.
"Hello, Ronan," Blue said, somewhat exasperatedly, once her ears had seemed to stop dying.
"'Sup, Sargent?" Ronan asked.
"'Sup, Lynch?" Blue mimicked.
"Ronan!" Noah exclaimed.
"Noah," Ronan said in a tone that Blue thought might be the closest he could get to sounding enthusiastic.
"Oh my God," Noah said. "Oh my God, this is fucking awesome."
"Hell yeah," Ronan agreed. He seemed about to say something else, but was interrupted by a raven settling itself on his shaved head. Ronan glanced up at the bird and continued, "speaking of fucking awesome. Guys, this is Chainsaw."
"Hi, Chainsaw!" Blue chirped.
"Aww, oh my God, she's so cute, I just wanna hug her," Noah said.
"Right," Ronan agreed. He motioned for Chainsaw to climb down onto his stretched-out arm. She did so, and he stroked her feathers, and she appeared to almost be smiling, or at least the closest a bird can get to smiling.
"This is so cute, I'm gonna die," Noah remarked, burying his face in his jacket.
One last box finally popped up on the screen then.
Adam Parrish has joined the call.
"Adam!" Blue exclaimed once his face appeared.
"Hi!" Adam returned her greeting.
Ronan glanced away from his raven to look at Adam. "Parrish!"
Adam gave him a charming smile. "Lynch. Chainsaw," he acknowledged the bird as well.
"Squawk!" Chainsaw said.
"That means hello," Ronan translated.
Adam chuckled. "Hello to you too, Chains."
"Wow," Ronan said. "You already nicknamed my goddamn raven."
Adam smirked. "Yep."
"Amazing."
"Yes."
"Who wants to talk about memes?" Ronan blurted out to the group.
"Oh, God," Blue said.
"ME, ME, I DO, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MEMES," Noah volunteered.
"Pardon me," Gansey said, rising from his seat. "I am going to go retrieve an alcoholic beverage of some sort."
"Bitch, you're seventeen, you can't drink alcohol, sit the fuck down," Ronan advised.
"Says the person who is nearly always intoxicated," Gansey pointed out.
"That's different," Ronan said.
"How is that different?"
"Because. I am a Ronan. And you are a Gansey."
"That was a great explanation, ten out of ten, I rate highly."
"I fuckin' know, right?"
"Frog memes," said Noah.
"Same," said Adam.
"HERE COME DAT BOI!" Ronan shouted.
"OH SHIT WADDUP?" said Blue.
"I'm," commented Gansey.
"What a wise insight, thank you, Gansey," Adam pointed out.
"Oh, you're so welcome," Gansey replied.
"OH MY GOD," Ronan yelled at the top of his lungs.
Gansey winced. "Ronan. Ronan, what?"
"So, Doge, right?"
"Yes," Gansey said, a slightly dead look in his eyes.
"Consider this." Ronan held his pride and joy, Chainsaw, high in the air. "Ravene."
"What," said Gansey.
"Oh," said Adam.
"YOUR RAVEN'S A MEME!" Noah exclaimed.
"OF COURSE SHE IS," Ronan replied.
"Oh my God," said Blue. "I'm dead."
"Hi, dead," Ronan said. "I'm dad."
"I."
Adam let out an exaggerated moan. "Daddy."
"OH MY FUCKING GOD," Noah yelled.
"NO!" Blue exclaimed.
"ADAM, WHY?" Gansey demanded.
Meanwhile, Ronan was laughing so hard that he literally fell out of his chair.
"Oh, my God," Adam said, practically cackling when he heard the thud that was Ronan's body crashing on the floor. "Are you okay, Lynch?"
"NO," Ronan shouted from the floor. "THIS IS THE END. I AM LITERALLY GOING TO DIE."
This caused Adam to laugh more.
Ronan eventually stood up and settled himself back into his seat.
Everyone was still laughing, and then suddenly Adam was completely serious. "But actually," he said. "I'm the daddy."
"BYE." Blue jumped up from her seat and walked off-screen.
"Blue, oh my God, come back," Adam pleaded. He was laughing again.
"I am jumping out a window!" Blue yelled from somewhere in the distance.
"Don't die, Jane," said Gansey.
"Too late, I'm already dead!"
"Rip," said Ronan.
"I'm crying," said Noah, who was clearly not crying.
Blue came back into everyone's view soon after that.
"Yay, Jane's alive!" Gansey exclaimed.
"Woo fucking hoo!" Blue shouted.
"Blue, watch your fucking language!" someone in another room yelled.
"Oh," said Blue.
Ronan was laughing. "I think I have literally said those exact words before."
"Relatable," Blue agreed.
"Who was that?"
"That was my mom's friend, Calla. She's great."
"I like her."
"Same."
Adam's smile, which had been there throughout the entirety of the call so far, was beginning to fade. "Guys," he said. "My parents are gonna be home soon, so I'm gonna have to go."
"Oh, damn," said Blue.
"Noooooo," said Noah.
"I'm sorry," Adam apologized. "I'll talk to you later, guys."
"Okay, goodbye, Adam," Gansey bid him farewell.
"Later, Parrish," Ronan threw in.
"Bye, guys." Adam gave his friends one last smile before hanging up.
"Rip," Noah said.
"Rest in pieces," said Gansey.
"Rest in pizza," said Blue.
"Rest in Pepe," said Ronan.
"Dear Jesus," Blue replied.
Ronan snorted.
"Should we all just hang up now since Adam's gone?" Gansey asked.
"Maybe," Noah answered. "We wouldn't want him to miss anything."
"Yeah, that's true," Blue agreed.
"Yeah," Ronan said.
"Right," said Gansey. "I'm so glad I got to talk to you all."
"Oh my God, I know right, this was amazing," Noah replied.
"I agree," said Blue.
"Yee," said Ronan.
"Oh my God, don't say yee," Gansey told him.
"I will say whatever the fuck I want, Gansyee."
"I think that is the worst thing anyone has ever done to my name."
"Yee."
"Stop this madness."
"Nee."
"Jesus."
"Do you mean Yeesus?"
"No, I mean Hesus."
"HESUS," Blue exclaimed.
"Anyway," Gansey said, shaking his head. "Talk to you later, guys, have a good rest of your day."
"Thank you, you too," Noah replied.
They all said their goodbyes, and then Gansey ended the call.
