i was starting to think you hated me and were never gonna text me lmao.

i'm sorry
weekdays are stressful for me
plus i didn't wanna bother you or like text you at the wrong time

it's fine.
never a bother.
but you did text me in the middle of my last period.

i told will you were probably in class
he told me to text you anyways
i'm so sorry

it's okay, i'd rather text you than read and annotate horrible poetry.
wait.
you told will?

he doesn't mind that i'm texting you

are you sure?
i don't wanna like, you know.
overstep anything or be weird.

very sure
he wasn't even mad
like at all

oh okay.
i just hope you're telling the truth.
he knows where i live.
i'm pretty sure he'd make the drive just to kill me.

dramatic 😳

anyways, what have you been up to?

just school
it's been very boring since you guys left

i feel that.
i actually kinda like school though.
