hey

texting in detention??
so daunting

for you?
of course

🥺🥺
OMG

I'M 18

uh?

read it in bella thorne

what

sdisksksk DUMB
anyway
as i was saying
i'm 18
u know what that means 😗😗

that you can legally drink in italy?

um yeah
but not that
our love is no longer illegal
i'm no longer a minor

our birthdays are only a few months apart
can you stop making me sound like a pedophile?

ok but still
we're lowkey criminals bc it was illegal

no, i don't think so

my dad is a cop, mike
i know the law
but frick the law
acab

tell that to him

😳😳😳

when are you leaving?

9
when do u get out of detention

2 :(

wow ur so alt

what

my god nvm 🙄🙄
i'm sad
i want u to come w me 🥺🥺

i want to come with you too
you're way more fun than detention

i would hope u would feel that way

both troy and gracie are in my detention class
along with some kid that smells like he's been rolling around in liquor

sucks to be u

that it does
i gotta go
they're making us scrape gum off desks

wow
i'd pay to see that
but ok i'll text u later!!

before i go
i just want to say how happy i am that you were born and that you're in my life. you're literally my world, el so thank you for being my world. i love you more than i thought i could love anyone, and i really hope i've shown it

baby boy, i will cry rn 🥺🥺

don't cry, beautiful
at least not now
wait until later when i can call you and be really gross and sappy

i will try to wait
but just know i will cry eventually
i love you💖💖💖✨

just don't tell mike
he's already worried enough abt that

lmao as he should be 👀
no but seriously lucas asked me if u and i ever kiss when we hang out
he thought girls did that for some reason ??

uh?

maybe that's what the guys do when they're alone 😳😳

😳😳😳
dustin isn't mike's type
i just know it

hdksbson
so are u happy to join the 18 year old club??

but lots of walking 😓😓
but it was really pretty

lucas🚽

max said it's your birthday

she's correct

i thought it was tomorrow
what is today
is it sunday
i thought today was saturday
i am confused
and hungover

i'm not surprised but that's ok
my bday is today
we are all celebrating at mike's tmrw night
take some advil, drink some water, and eat some waffles, kid ❤️

oh
happy birthday
i'm happy you're here
tho you have made mike really annoying and mushy and gross
but you've also made him a lot less whiny and he complains way less
so that's good
he was so irritating
especially those weeks right before you two got together

awwww
but don't insult him 😤😤😤
thank u for the bday wish
good luck w ur hangover and ur witchy gf
who is also my gf 😗😗

eleanor jane hopper

oh this should be good

i have finally risen from my restful slumber
now, now, do i have lots of really nice things to type about you
and i would type them all, i really would
but i'm very hungover
you see, i drank too much

oh?

bad choices were made
so i'll say this
attachment: 1 audio message

oh god
i could play that for my dad and he'd get a restraining order against u

acab baby i don't fear the law
now you
you are a woman, el
18 years worth

stop being weird

NEVER

hate u

i love you
this is my confession
i will eviscerate mike for you
for your love

literally shut up

you can't silence love

yes i can
it's called blocking

you wouldn't

thank u for the creepy birthday wish
let's not make a habit of it
maybe next year, try not mentioning how much u admire my hairless toes pls

there's nothing wrong with hairy toes, i just noticed that yours aren't
i thought you should know that they're appreciated despite their lack of hair

and u wonder why ur single 😀😀

what's that supposed to me
i cherish women

ok i'm going to stop replying now

wait no
april fools is coming up
i was thinking you could be in on my prank this year
so i was thinking we should pretend you're my girlfriend and that we've been dating for 3 years
and then, when mike starts crying, we will reveal that you're actually his girlfriend
el?
are you in??
you know what
we'll get together and plan it out
