TEXTS
Zachary
So no one was going to tell me Ellie up and moved to Seattle?
Abigail
No, because you don’t pay attention whenever anyone tells you anything.
Zachary
Hey. Not fair.
Wesley
She’s got a point, Z.
Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall.
Zachary
I’ve just got a lot going on. And this girl in grad school is making my life a living hell.
Penny
Oooh, someone’s got a crush.
Zachary
Do not. She’ s the worst.
Abigail
What’s her name?
Zachary
I’m not telling you.
Quin
Definitely a crush.
Abigail
Oh, for sure. And I don’t even have to be the daughter of a romance author to call that one.
Zachary
Whatever, nothing’s going to happen. Ever.
Penny
Quin, how’s the zoo?
Quin
Good. We just had a new baby rhino born. So cute.
Beau
Thank you for blowing up my phone during practice. I love coming back to a hundred notifications every time I leave my phone in the locker room.
Zachary
What can I say? We’re a fun group.
How else would you stay in the loop?
Beau
… Maybe I don’t need to keep up with all the gossip.
Besides the fact that I already knew Ellie moved. She called me before she ever took the job.
Lucy
Speaking of Ellie, she’s been mysteriously quiet.
Zachary
Ah, the baby sister has arrived.
Lucy
Shut up.
Ellie
You guys are the worst.
Wesley
Miss you too, cuz.
Penny
The coffee shop isn’t the same without you.
Lucy
Maybe one of these days, I can actually study in peace…
Zachary
Hey, we’re fun to be around. And I study there too.
Lucy
Do you? Last time, you were too busy flirting with Aunt Noelle’s newest barista.
Zachary
Hey, she was pretty cute.
Penny
Ew. She’s my co-worker, dude.
Ellie
… I’m putting my phone on silent now. I’m kinda busy at the moment.
Abigail
Hot date?
Ellie
No.
I’m at Owen’s game.
Quin
So it is a hot date.
Penny
If he wasn’t my brother, I’d high-five you. But he is, so despite me loving the idea of you two getting back together… ew. Gross.
Ellie
Thanks, guys. Love and miss all of you.
Even Zach.
Zachary
Why’s everyone always picking on me?
Abigail
You make it so easy.
Zachary
You can’t see me, but I’m rolling my eyes now.
Abigail
If I wasn’t the oldest, I’d be sticking my tongue out at you.
Lucy
Quiet, children. I can’t focus with all of these texts.
