TEXT CHAT

Star: You’re going to have to stop me from wanting to strangle Rachel.

Lily: She’s not that bad.

Star: If she talks about this fucking gala one more time at a meeting, I’ll scream.

Lily: Scream, then. Lol. She’ll know you’re angry if you scream. Let it out. Holding stuff back only builds resentment.

Star: You’ve been listening to Tiff, haven’t you?

Lily: Helped her study for her finals last semester, and now I read her textbooks for fun.

Star: For fun? Jesus H. Christ.

Lily: It’s interesting.

Star: Riiiiiiight.

Lily: You and Rachel are both control freaks. That’s why you don’t get along. You’re not happy sharing the throne of queen bee with someone else.

Star: I don’t think I’m queen bee.

Lily: Hmm. If you say so lol.

Star: I do!

Lily: Think you’re queen bee?

Star: Grr. ‘Say so.’

Lily: :P By the way, I heard back from Juneau News.

Star: Oh?

Lily: The tip line will be featured in their daily periodicals as well as in ad campaigns on, say, TVGM.

Star: That’s fantastic! Well done, Lily.

Lily: :) We’ve been working on this together.

Star: Yeah, but I wanted to kick the head of Juneau News in the balls during that meeting. You schmoozed him.

Lily: Don’t tell Link. He gets mad when I flirt with other guys.

Star: Can’t blame him when it makes them putty in your hands.

Lily: Haha, it didn’t!

Star: It did. He wouldn’t have done anything for me but look at what he did for you.

Lily: I’m paying him!

Star: Yeah, but those kinds of features and slots would cost a hell of a lot more.

Lily: It’s for charity.

Star: Suuuure, charity begins at home with those news corporation cunts. Anyway, that’s fantastic news. The more people who know about the tip line, the more we can help.

Star: Fuck, this is like a load off my freakin’ chest. We’re finally getting somewhere.

Lily: We are! I’m just happy to be a part of this. Thank you for not just taking my money lol and letting me help.

Star: Need all the help I can get, Lily. Not only with the funds, but with your schmoozing skills. We’re going to make a real difference. I can feel it.

Lily: Me too. :*

Star: Thank you for everything. Seriously. I mean every word.

Lily: Stop! You’re making me blush!

Star: Then Link isn’t doing a great job in killing that blush reflex. :P

Lily: Oh, trust me, he does a wonderful job. ;) Speaking of… GTG.

Star: Hahahaha.
