<iheartthebeatles> I’M glad!!

<fantaaa92> J

            I look up from where I’m sitting in our Range Rover. We’re cruising down towards the Hollywood 911 headquarters, blasting Allstar Weekend from the radio. I want to end this conversation badly, I really do. Don’t kid me, I love Jess, but, I don’t want her to get hurt. I’m about to tell her that I have to go, until I feel my Sidekick vibrating in my palm.

<fantaaa92> hey ive got an idea!!! Y don’t u come?

<iheartthebeatles> um……

<fantaaa92> it’ll be so much fun!!!!

<iheartthebeatles> ok, sure I guess

<fantaaa92> is something wrong w/ u? r u sick? U don’t sound very excited

<iheartthebeatles> ik. Im sry. I’ve got a lot on my mind rite now

<fantaaa92> like what

<iheartthebeatles> well, Mr. Green really wanted me 2 send him sum of my stories and articles

<fantaaa92> y didn’t u tell me?? So did u give them to him?

<iheartthebeatles> no not yet

<fantaaa92> Y????????

<iheartthebeatles> u know I don’t like The Scene.

<fantaaa92> yes but come on, ur mom works at Hollywood 911. im sure ur used to this Hollywood stuff

<iheartthebeatles> I AM used 2 it. It’s just im getting sick of it.

<iheartthebeatles> besides the ppl @ Hollywood 911 r actually nice

<fantaaa92> well whatever u do, I’ll stand by u.

            I’m pleasantly surprised. Is this Jess I’m talking to? I would think Jess would press me into The Scene thing. Jess LOVES that magazine. And that’s not an understatement.
