March 2
(Saturday evening, after a long day at church, the gang is trying to regroup on the group chat)
(Catman, Matthew, and Keegan are waiting for the girls)
[Matthew] So, are you guys going to watch titanic at the school's auditorium this week?
[Catman] Sure, why not.
[Keegan] I'm down, I guess
I'm really looking forward to the snacks and coziness, I'll probably fall asleep mid movie. It's so long
[Matthew] Right? Like all that time just for Jack to end up dead.
[Catman] I've never seen titanic before.
[Keegan] Get out
[Catman] No, I'm serious
[Matthew] Wow, never?
Can't say I'm too surprised.
It's not really something I'd take my personal time to watch, but since I get to cozy up with my friends at a theater setting, I can not turn it down.
[Keegan] Facts
(Camila enters the chat)
[Matthew] Hey, Camster!
[Keegan] Cammy, what's up
[Catman] Hey Cam!
[Camila] Hey guys!
Um, Zoe has something she'd like to share with you all.
(Zoe enters the chat)
[Zoe] Hey guys!
[Keegan] Hey Zoe
[Catman] Hey! 😺
[Matthew] Howdy!
[Zoe] 🤭
Um, so I guess Cammy already informed yall that I have something I'd like to share.
I, um, I'm sorta getting with this guy named Brian. He's from California, and well, I want to know if it's ok if he kinda joined the group chat from time to time?
[Catman] 😼 I knew it
[Matthew] Of course you did.
Yeah, Zoe, it's um, alright with me, so that's one vote, I guess.
[Camila] Two!!
[Catman] 😺 3
[Zoe] Keegan??
[Keegan] Yeah, I mean, sure why not. 4
[Zoe] Thanks, guys, I truly appreciate it.
I'll add him.
(Zoe adds Brian to the group chat)
(Brian enters the chat)
[Brian] Hello everyone, my name is Brian, obviously, and it's nice to meet you all!
[Camila] Hello Brian
[Matthew] What's up
[Zoe] 🥰😘
[Catman] Hi
[Keegan] ✌️
[Zoe] So Bri, kinda introduce yourself.
[Brian] Oh, ok. Um, my name is Brian Adrian Lester. I'm from good ole California. I'm 23 years old, and I'm currently enrolled as an orthodontist at a nearby college.
I'm 6'3, I like to play instruments, especially the guitar, listen to music, meet new people and animals, I obviously like Zoe a lot. I might head back to Cali after this semester.
I play football, I like fishing, I love movies and I'm pretty big on kindness and being generous with others. That's all, I guess.
[Catman] Hmm, and how exactly did you stumble upon our girl Zoe?
[Zoe] You can tell them.
[Brian] Alright, cool, um, so it happened that one day I was walking around yall school campus looking for my cousin, she's enrolled here.
And I was in need of a cup of coffee from walking around for hours searching, so I went to a campus cafe, and she happened to be there doing what it looked like was calculus.
So I ordered my coffee, and the nice lady said that they were unfortunately fresh out, so she had to grind more beans in the back. Typical, especially after a busy morning of sleepy adults. I said I'd wait.
Meanwhile, I sat about a table from her. I paid her no mind, but I could see her constantly gazing at me. So I eventually said hello, she was nervous, but I kinda expected that.
About 5 minutes after we said hello, she said it again. And I was intrigued, so I got closer to her and eventually sat on her table.
We got to talking, and she said that I was cute, which ngl made me blush. I called her beautiful. We could see the nervousness in each other, lol.
But I eventually got one of her older brothers numbers. I met her family, and yeah, we kinda tied the knot there.
[Matthew] And when did all of this take place?
[Zoe] About a month and some change ago.
[Camila] Wow, that's interesting 👏
[Matthew] Yeah, I mean, you do seem like a great guy.
[Catman] Congrats, I guess.
[Zoe] I guess?
[Catman] My apologies. Congrats!
[Brian] I have a question. Respectfully, why do they call you Catman?
[Catman] You're too new for that.
[Keegan] You got a job, Brian?
[Brian] Oh, yes sir. I work at the Chili's not too far from yall school, about a 7 minute drive.
[Zoe] I'm so glad you all support Brian and I. You guys are the best!
[Camila] Of course, you're our friend, and there's nothing but love and support over here.
[Catman] Honesty too.
[Zoe] Well, Brian and his family want to take my family out somewhere to eat, so I've gotta go. 😅🤗 Bye!!
[Camila] Bye Zoe, have fun!!
[Matthew] Alrighty then, peace
[Catman] Yeah, bye
[Keegan] Take care
(Zoe leaves the chat)
[Brian] Yeah same, it was nice meeting you guys, much love and respect. 🙏
[Camila] Bye 🤗
[Matthew] Alright, Brian
[Camila] I'm gone too, you guys, gotta tidy up my room, bye!!
[Keegan] Good night, Cam
[Catman] Sleep well. Bye!
[Matthew] Night!!
(Camila leaves the chat)
[Matthew] Keegan. Status?
[Catman] 😦
[Keegan] I um, I gotta go. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow, be God's will my folks need me.
[Matthew] Alrighty then, take care, my guy.
[Catman] Don't let it eat you, night Champ.
(Keegan leaves the chat)
[Catman] 😿
[Matthew] I know
I just don't know what to do, or think rn
I just hope he's alright.
[Catman] Same
[Matthew] We'll talk tomorrow, be God's will?
[Catman] Yep, God's speed.
