Victoria: Are you and Sebastian still fighting?

Smooth Jazz: Yes.

Smooth Jazz: He acts like everything’s normal in the group chat

Smooth Jazz: but he’s been ignoring my texts, and he avoids me at school.

Smooth Jazz: I can’t sleep

Smooth Jazz: Every time I remember the fight, I lose my appetite.

Smooth Jazz: But everyone told me to let him stew, so I’m letting him stew.

Victoria: Shall I ask him about it?

Smooth Jazz: No, don’t. He’ll come around eventually… I hope…

Victoria: Oi.

Seblasquez: What’s up Victoria?

Victoria: Are you still mad at Jasmine?

Seblasquez: Umm

Victoria: because if you are you should just fucking get over it already

Victoria: She’s worried sick

Victoria: And I won’t pretend to know what your fight was about but I know Jasmine

Victoria: and she’s a good person who doesn’t want to hurt you

Victoria: so grow up and have a proper row if you’re going to have one

Victoria: then hurry up and forgive each other

Victoria: because it’s pissing me off!

Victoria: …that’s all.

Seblasquez: I’m not mad at Jasmine.

Victoria: Could have fooled her.

Seblasquez: Okay I am mad, but it’s not really her fault.

Victoria: You’re just taking it out on her.

Seblasquez: Yes.

Victoria: How very mature of you.

Seblasquez: Thanks for pointing that out.

Seblasquez: I’m sorry. It’s just… taking me a while to work through some stuff.

Victoria: I’m not the one you need to apologize to.

Dimwit_Genius: I’ve been dreaming of the day you would say those words to me.

Dimwit_Genius: Whatever you need, I’m your man.

Dimwit_Genius: I will fulfill my duties with a seriousness SOMEONE would appreciate

Dimwit_Genius: if she’d just ask me to be her birthday party escort. >__>
