ZAK

I’m home. Did your dad suspect anything? x

MADDY

That was a close shave. I don’t think he noticed. Glad you’re home safely x

ZAK

Night gorgeous. I’ll pick you up for school in the morning – 8 okay? We can grab some alone time before everyone else gets to school! X

MADDY

Sounds good. Night night xx

DEACON

Hey mate, sorry it’s late but guessed you’d be up. Thanks for the offer of staying over. I’ll let you know the exact date next week. I’m trying to persuade the rents to both go to Leicester with Sarah instead of Mum coming with me and Dad with her.

ZAK

Whatever mate. Mum says your mum is welcome to stay. I think she’d like to see her but totally get why you don’t want her to come ??. If you come on your own I’ll sort a night out. Maybe get my girlfriend and her mates to come.

DEACON

Ozzy said you had a new girlfriend. Does Connie know??? Can I be the one to tell her?!! Is the new gf fit!

ZAK

If you like but it’s none of her business. We were over a long time ago. And yeah she’s beautiful! Beautiful, funny and cute.

DEACON

Shit! You’ve got it bad.

ZAK

Whatever, I need to get some sleep. Speak soon mate. Oh and your lot were fucking lucky at the weekend. Another dodgy penalty!

DEACON

Fuck off loser ??. Night mate, speak soon.
