Cassandra: becky :(

Beckett: What’s up?

Cassandra: can you call me?

do you like to go on facetime?

Beckett: I do

Want me to call you right now?

Cassandra: wait no

actually don’t

i look terrible right now and i don’t want you to see me like this

Beckett: What’s going on?

Cassandra: i don’t know

i just feel so stupid yk? like sometimes

it’s just one of those days where every little thing goes wrong i guess

Beckett: Are you sure you don’t want me to call you?

Cassandra: noooo

just talk to me?for a bit

i’ll feel better

Beckett: Okay

I’m trying to find where Lucia put Pepé‘s documents

I want to know whether he’s got all his shots taken or not because I feel like the vet must’ve missed something

I also am trying to organize my room because it’s a fucking mess and I can’t find anything

I’m trying not to freak out about it but I like to keep things tidy and it’s pissing me off

Cassandra: i like your room

it’s super clean for a boy’s

cleaner than mine

Beckett: Are you a messy person?

Cassandra: i’m the messiest :P

Beckett: I used to have my figurines all over the top shelf where my books are now

But I couldn’t keep them tidy so I put them in a box instead

Cassandra: what do you collect

Beckett: A bit of everything I find cool

Pokémon figurines mostly

I liked to watch it back when i was a kid

Cassandra: makes sense

they have pets and you are into farming

Beckett: Am I some kind of cowboy to you?

Cassandra: you’re my little farm boy** :D

Beckett: I don’t have much to say to be honest

I’d rather know how you’re doing

If I can help you

Cassandra: its just a bad day.

and some school stuff are making me upset

i just can’t do this anymore

AND im like the least busy student there is

im not part of any of the clubs bc i can’t keep up with them

Beckett: I was the leader of math club

Terrible times

You’re not stupid though

Cassandra: mrs yun called my name in class earlier

she knew i hadn’t done my homework

Beckett: She did that to Alex a lot

Cassandra: she did?

Beckett: Yeah

Alex would just laugh at her face

I thought it was annoying at first because it disrupted class

But then I realized it was actually hilarious cause she genuinely thought she was right

Cassandra: you and alex were such a cute couple

i saw you once having a date at the library

i’m sorry you two broke up

Beckett: I don’t mind it Cass

It’s high school

I wasn’t expecting it to last forever you know?

Cassandra: right

how did you two even get into talking though.

she is really cool no offense

Beckett: xD

You’re funny

Alex and I got paired up for something in Biology

I was fine doing most of the work

But she kept pushing me to do things differently

At the time I didn’t think she was flirting at all

Cassandra: ohhhh

do you find it difficult to flirt with other people

like to get the memo when they’re flirting with you

Beckett: I don’t find it hard to do it

Mostly because I don’t flirt at all

People usually come up to me

Cassandra: ahhhh

the world when you’re a tall boy with blue eyes

Beckett: You are literally drop dead gorgeous

I’m sure every boy out there likes you in secret

Cassandra: they do i guess

also thanks

that means a lot 3

Beckett: 3

But Alex was acting really weird

She just kept fucking with my work so I took it very personally

Cassandra: that’s a bit annoying

Beckett: Right?

But then she told me later that shewanted to mess me up a little

Get me to loosen up I guess

Cassandra: i get that

very relatable to be honest

Beckett: What?

You want to mess me up a little?

Cassandra:….

sometimes?

idk

you’re so put together *-*

i used to think you were perfect tbh

now you’re just a little more normal to me

Beckett: A little more normal?

Like 50/50 perfect and human?

Cassandra: something like that

i mean i pretty much used to have

the biggest crush on you as a kid yk

yk = you know

Beckett: You did?

Cassandra: kind of

it was silly

im pretty sure it was just because

you were two years older than me

and that felt sooo cool

Beckett: No I get that. It’s not silly at all

I’m a bit flattered to be honest

You’re really pretty

Wait, was this the reason why you’d come to my games?

Cassandra: sometimes apparently :(

Beckett: Why the sad face? :(

Cassandra: idk this is embarrassing

you probably think im silly :(

Beckett: It’s not.

I’m pretty sure I thought you were pretty then too

Not like a crush of course, you were so tiny

But you always had bows in your hair

I liked it

Even though you kept it so messy and short

Cassandra: pls don’t remind me D:

i looked terrible!!!!!

Beckett: Don’t shame baby Cass for her decisions

She’s your most adorable version to me ;)

Cassandra:ohhh

that’sss….3

i have to go now

thanks for answering becky 3

Beckett: Always 3

I wouldn’t have cared, by the way.

Cassandra: cared about what?

Beckett: If you looked disgusting

I really doubt you do

You’re a beautiful girl

And I wouldn’t have cared

It doesn’t matter to me

Cassandra: stop you’re making me blush *-*

Beckett: Good *-*

I like it when you blush too

It’s cute
