Show off. What’s the favor then?
There’s a pause. Those three dots appear and disappear twice before her message comes through.
If someone named Miles asks you about us, can you say we’re seeing each other?
I sit up so fast I nearly knock Greg off the windowsill.
This is the weirdest way I’ve ever been asked out
It’s kinda hot tho
I’m NOT asking you out. It’s just a one-time thing.
Maybe we could make one public appearance, at Alex’s ABC party
My moral code is strongly against lying, Piper
Your moral code is questionable if the rumors about you are true
Touche. But what’s in it for me?
What do I get for being your dirty little secret?
also, I dig that you’ve been asking around about me.
Seriously? What happened to that moral code?
Never said it made sense, Pip
Don’t call me that. It makes me sound like a Dickensian orphan
Pip Pip Pip Pipppppppper
Ok thank you for your input, I’ll find another person
Fine, I’ll do it. But I need help finding a costume for this party.
And while we shop, you’re explaining why I’m lying to poor poor Miles
What I don’t tell her is that this is absolutely perfect for me too. I can tell Lacey we’re together and, boom, she’s off my back too.
I’m terrible at shopping
Perfect. Two terrible shoppers walk into a thrift store. Sounds like the start of a love story to meeee
This isn’t a love story
Whatever you say, Pip
I can practically feel her eye roll through the phone.
Fine. When?
Now? Unless you’re too busy with your 94 average
Quad in 20?
It’s a date
