Also for the record, your face isn’t offensive either
It’s actually pretty great
Okay I’m going to PT now before I say something else embarrassing
Too late. You’ve already embarrassed yourself enough for one day.

RUDE
I take back the face compliment
No takebacks.
Rodriguez
Fine. You have a great face. Deal with it.
I put my phone down, laughing at the absurdity of it. Actually laughing, alone in my car, reading texts from someone who juggles oranges and made me a playlist.

Beingfriends with someone I’m completely gone for feels like it’s simultaneously the best and worst decision I’ve ever made.
Best because: Juliette Chastain is texting me. Daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. Sending me random thoughts about her students, complaining about grad school applications, asking my opinion on things that definitely don’t matter but I answer anyway because it means she’s thinking about me.
Worst because: I’m in the friend zone. The deepest, most permanent friend zone that has ever existed. And I put myself here voluntarily because I’m an idiot.
I’m sitting in the team lounge scrolling through our text thread like a complete idiot.

one of my students just asked me if I’m a princess because I “skate pretty”
I didn’t know how to explain that I’m actually a goblin who happens to be good at jumps
you’re definitely a princess
a really mean one who turns people into ice sculptures when they annoy her
Juliette
that’s the best princess origin story I’ve ever heard
I’m using that
royalties please
Juliette
you can have one (1) coffee
DEAL
