NARRATIVE & IMESSAGE

third person

playlist was in less than 5 days. olivia was all packed for the 3 day event. she was currently laying on her bed, with both of her hands holding her phone as she looked at her best friend through her screen.

"one day, you've got to come to playlist with me", olivia insisted.

"i would but i have something called parents", ellie joked, adding emphasis on the word 'parents'.

"oh really? cus i have that too".

"okay... but your parents just don't seem to care where you go as long as you come back alive"

"i guess i was bless–"

"–ed... what?", olivia mumbled to herself.

"what? what? what? what is it?"

"chase just messaged me", olivia stated. seeing the notification brought a feeling of nervousness.

"about time", ellie scoffed. "don't leave the poor guy waiting, reply to him!", immediately after ellie had said that, olivia switched from facetime to imessage, leaving her friend on 'pause'.

olivia🧚‍♀️
hi cole

chase
i can't tell if that means
you're mad or in the mood
to joke around

chase
anyways

chase
i'm really sorry

olivia🧚‍♀️
okay...

chase
i know i fucked up. i don't even know
why nessa and i kissed, it just kinda
happened

olivia🧚‍♀️
okay so what about josh and
nessa? they were together at
that time

chase
this was before we knew about
them actually dating. i asked her
about josh, she lied to me and
told me they weren't official so
it wouldn't be a big deal

olivia🧚‍♀️
so what i'm hearing is... nessa
is a LIAR😲🤥

olivia🧚‍♀️
i mean you knew that they
we're at least talking but u
guys still kissed??

chase
yeah... i didn't think it would
lead to this big of a mess. i really
am sorry and i really do regret it.
it ruined things that were really
special to me

chase
i hate not speaking to you
and this whole month has
been so bad. bruh i miss you
a lot

chase
i literally love u at this
point wtf [!]

not delivered

chase
i know i messed up big time
and i wouldn't be surprised
if you were still upset/
annoyed at me, but i'm asking
if we can still be friends?

olivia🧚‍♀️
sure and i'm sorry too

chase
for what?

chase
you didn't kiss josh
or something did you?💀

olivia🧚‍♀️
no🙄 i'm apologising for
taking it to heart bc last time
i checked, we were just friends
in august

olivia🧚‍♀️
but i mean... so what if i did
kiss josh?😏🤨

chase
you just didn't tho that's the
thing😂 but if u did, then we're
both even and we can now move
past this😁🤝

chase
so does this mean you
forgive me?

olivia🧚‍♀️
of course but let's just
stay friends for now

chase
i completely understand
and agree

chase
besties again tho?😁🤝

olivia🧚‍♀️
ugh fine🙄 besties again🤝

chase
well i guess i'll see u at
playlist?

olivia🧚‍♀️
yeah see u then :)

" 'let's just stay friends for now'? ", ellie finally spoke up, redirecting olivia's attention back onto their facetime.

"huh?"

"learn to read in your head".

"oh shit– i thought i was. well yeah. what else was i supposed to say?"

"i don't know", ellie continued, "you better keep me updated on how playlist goes".
