Monday AM

(11:03) -Cheryl-
It has just occurred to me that you're skipping school to get a goldfish.

(11:04) -Toni-
The least I could do. Also means I get to ditch classes this morning.

(11:05) -Cheryl-
Are you going to get into trouble?

(11:07) -Toni-
Probably, but it's not like I can get any more detentions. I already have a more than I could possibly have this year

(11:09) -Cheryl-
Ok. If you say so.

(11:11) -Toni-
How's camping?

(11:12) -Cheryl-
Technically we can't actually camp. I can't even participate in the camp fires because of the smoke and shit lung combination. So it's more like a furnace house in the middle of a freaking field.

(11:15) -Toni-
At least you have reception.

(11:17) -Cheryl-
I have to hold the phone above my head as if I were praying to God to get my messages sent.

(11:19) -Toni-
Are you sure you're ok with me, like, being in your house?

(11:20) -Cheryl-
All in the name of Sheba.

(11:22) -Toni-
Ok. I'm at the front door. Tell me now if you change your mind.

(11:23) -Cheryl-
Go. Save the poor fish.

(11:23) -Toni-
Ok.

(11:30) -Cheryl-
Molly's lovely.

(11:32) -Toni-
She is.

(11:34) -Toni-
I haven't seen red hair like this ever

(11:35) -Cheryl-
Well then you'd probably pass out at the sight of mine

(11:36) -Toni-
She's making tea. Wow, this is a huge living room

(11:37) -Cheryl-
Oh my god - it was my nana's house.

(11:39) -Toni-
Your nana has class. Love me some red's

(11:41) -Cheryl-
That's basically the entire house.

(11:43) -Toni-
It's comfy too. Molly insists I have some snacks.

(11:45) -Cheryl-
She's like that.

(11:47) -Toni-
Could Molly not have looked after you?

(11:48) -Cheryl-
She has two kids, Toni! And I don't need 'looking after'. She's only there when the house needs looking after. My mother fired the maid after accusing her of stealing her jewellery

(11:50) -Toni-
how sweet of her. Ooo I'm being led to the bedroom.

(11:50) -Cheryl-
Don't get weird.

(11:51) -Toni-
Wow. Jesus. It's... really fancy. And red. A four post bed? Jesus.
ALSO I SEE A POSTER OF THE SMITHS HIDDEN IN YOUR CLOSET??! YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS WHEN I WAS SERENADING YOU!

(11:52) -Cheryl-
I didn't want to give you ammunition.

(11:53) -Toni-
You're a cheat, Cheryl Blossom.

(11:54) -Cheryl-
Don't snoop through my stuff!

(11:55) -Toni-
I'm not I'm not! It's just a big fucking poster, man. Oh my god Sheba.

(11:56) -Cheryl-
Are they ok?

(11:57) -Toni-
They're fine - uh, Cheryl?

(11:57) -Cheryl-
Yeah?

(11:59) -Toni-
How am I going to carry a bowl of water on my bike with one arm?

(12:01)-Cheryl-
...Carefully.
