Brooke-We text now?

I wince because it’s true; we don’t text each other; we either walk into each other’s apartments or plan in person.

Grant-Depends. Do you text again before you get a reply?

Brooke-All the time, it’s my red flag.

Grant-I will have to end our texting relationship before it even started, unfortunately.

Brooke -That’s fair; I would hate to text you, too.

Brooke-But I would anyway, because I’m terribly cute.

Grant-And an annoying texter.

Brooke-:!

Grant-Soo, there’s a party at the football house on Tuesday...

Brooke-go on...

Grant-Wanna go?

Brooke-Day or evening?

Grant-All day and pool.

Brooke-Pool? It’s freezing.

Grant-Indoor pool

Brooke-Sold. I’m in.

I pump my fist at the win and almost type it’s a date, but don’t want to scare her. But hey, I’ve got an official shot at Brooke, and I’m not going to blow it

Text between Adam P and Brookie B

Adam P-I cannot believe you bet my mattress

Brookie B-I know, ok! You’ve texted me

5 times letting me know

you're angry about it.

Adam P-I’m not angry, B. I’m just disappointed

Brookie B- That makes me feel better

Adam P-Well, it shouldn’t, you broke a promise

Brookie B-I mean, can’t you afford

A new mattress?

Adam P-That’s not the point, Brookie.

Adam P-Brookie?
