Snapchat Messages Between Noah and Liam (Please Note: read fast before they disappear)

Liam: Brah, struck out with getting my uncle to book the room.

Noah: Shit. He was our last hope.

Liam: Help me Obi-Wan.

Noah: Ha! Obi-Wan’s not coming to our rescue. Maybe we pivot and go with a Halloween party in the forest behind the school?

Liam: Meh. It’ll be cold and rainy. No way the girls will want to dress slutty and be out in the rain.

Noah: Facts. This blows. It’s going to be the worst Halloween ever.

Liam: Totally. Maybe we toilet paper some houses or steal candy from some middle-school losers.

Noah: Nah, too much heat. Let’s just play C.O.D. and forget it’s Halloween.

Liam: Maybe. But we’re still throwing an epic party before the year is out.

Noah: Totes, brah.

Hi Jess,

I haven’t heard back from you about the dog wash. I’ve struck out with the rest of the committee. It seems everyone is planning to be out of town that weekend. I’m afraid we really are going to have to beg you to step up. I promise it really won’t be that bad. The folks at PetLove have all the equipment/products we need, so it’s just a matter of rounding up a few old towels and showing up.

I’ll put you down for a yes, okay? I know you won’t want to let the kids down, and you really are one of the few moms who have so much time on your hands.

Thanks in advance,

Blaire

Hi Blaire,

Yes, I’ll be there. I’d like to handle the payments desk if at all possible.
