Question for other cheerleaders... Do you guys actually LIKE watching football games?
Call Me Jude @judeturner
Wait... Do YOU not like going to the football games?
Sloane @its_sloane
It's not that I don't like it, I just find them a bit boring
Call Me Jude @judeturner
That feeling when you learn all about a sport to impress a girl then realize she doesn't even like it anyway
Sloane @its_sloane
Wait what
Call Me Jude @judeturner
oops you weren't supposed to see this
Sloane @its_sloane

Sloane @its_sloane
Shut up Megan
“I know something you don’t know,” Megan said in a sing-song voice during our FaceTime on the weekend.
“Don’t do that,” I said.
“Do what?”
“Gloat. Just tell me.”
“Fine.” She cleared her throat. “Hudson and I are… dating.”
“ What?”
“Oh, come on, you can’t be that surprised.”
“I’m—” I guess she was right. I’d seen this coming from a mile away. “Okay, yeah, you’re right. But still—tell me everything!”
And she did. She spent over half an hour telling me the whole story of how she and Hudson had fallen in love, starting sooner than I expected—apparently, even before we knew they were coming to our school, she’d been accidentally added to a group chat that turned out to be Take Five. By the end of her explanation, I couldn’t decide whether I was more excited for her or angry that she had been keeping it a secret all this time.
“Megan!” I squealed.
“I know! Oh, and Hudson’s taking me to his house this afternoon so I can tell you all about it.”
“You better!” I desperately wanted to know what the Take Five house was like. Maybe now that she and Hudson were dating, I could go by there sometime.
My phone started ringing with an alarm, reminding me that I still hadn’t done my homework. I swiped it off and sighed. “I have to go. I still haven’t done the English essay.”
“The one due tomorrow?”
I grimaced at the reminder. I’d been procrastinating on starting it all week, and now it was staring me in the face.
“That’s the one. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”
“Yeah, see you later.”
I hung up the call but still didn’t turn to my computer for my work yet.

How do you drop subtle hints to someone that you like them
Why Are You Following Me @meganwhite0202
Depends. How oblivious are they?
Sloane @its_sloane
@meganwhite0202 asks the most oblivious girl in the world
Why Are You Following Me @meganwhite0202
@its_sloane what is that supposed to mean
Sloane @its_sloane
@meganwhite0202 I think we both know
Sloane @its_sloane
@hudsonshaw want to chime in here bud?
Unsurprisingly, it took less than thirty seconds for Megan to text me.
Megan
Sloane I am going to kill you
Sloane
Come on everyone will think it's a joke
Megan
Will they?
I already have enough people harassing me about how I know the boys without saying rumors going around
Sloane
Does it count as a rumor if it's true?
Megan
SLOANE
Sloane
If I delete it now, it'll look suspicious
Megan
Having texted him for the last few weeks I can say you and Jude really are made for each other
Also talk to him because his tweet was obviously about you
I frowned. What tweet was she talking about? I went back over to twitter and searched Jude’s name.
Call Me Jude @judeturner
Question: what would be your preferred way for someone to profess their love to you?
Hudson @hudsonshaw
Awww does Jude have a crush?
Call Me Jude @judeturner
@hudsonshaw shut up I didn't ask you
Well… That was something.
Sloane
I don't want to be the one to bring it up
Megan
Would you rather keep making subtle tweets about each other without expressing your real feelings?
Sloane
If it means I don't have to say anything
Then yes
Megan
You're ridiculous
Sloane
And you don't really have a foot to stand on here
She had no room to say anything about my dating life, considering how long it had taken her and Hudson to admit their feelings for each other. I was allowed some time to think about it, wasn’t I?
