Mates group chat

ME: I’m awake, just getting breakfast/

lunch then gonna chill with Miles

It’s gone 1 pm now, so they should be in class. I send another private message.

ME: Hey, is it ok for me and Miles me to camp

out on your balcony so we can watch

the reactions?

DARBY: Of course, sweetheart,

I have a camera set up recording, too.

ME: Shouldn’t you be in class?

DARBY: I am, but it’s computer

science and I’m bored.

ME: Well, design me an amateur looking

book blog site, idle minds are never good.

DARBY: On it, sweetheart.

ME: Thanks for the crash area and site.

We mention our plans for the day to Alma, and she fills a picnic basket up with snacky yummies. Trick is going to be mad if he finds out he’s missed out on gooey s’mores cookies, but I don’t care right now.

CREED: Lazy little smudge,

shouldn’t have midnight romps

if you don’t have the stamina x

ME: You’re just jealous because I

got to sleep in, and you had to go

school x

REN: Glad you had a good sleep, baby,

what are your plans for the

rest of the day? xx

I send them a selfie of Miles and me curled up on the snuggle chair, surrounded by snacks, with my notepad and his book on our laps. Luckily, Miles's eyes are no longer puffy and red, and he's washed the tear tracks away.

I get replies of heart emojis and kissy face emojis.
