just taking a mental health day is all
nothing to worry about ❤️

i'm still worried

just an off day

okay

please

you're sure you're alright?
did something happen?

nooo
i'll explain later
i'm going to make myself some pasta and watch new girl
ur at a school and u need to focus

okay now i'm really worried
explain now please
also you can't watch new girl without me

u said u don't like new girl

i lied
now what's going on

so who's ur fav
nick or schmidt
i'm betting it's nick

stop changing the subject

mikeee
i'd rather talk abt this in person

okay
i can leave

what no
stay at school
skipping = bad

but you're skipping?

ok but that's different
i didn't show up at all
u would have to sneak out
ur more likely to get caught

i'm sneaky

mike, just stay at school
come over tonight
we can talk then

talk about what?
you're freaking me out
what's going on?

nothing is going on
like i said, i'm just having an off day
i'm only letting u come over bc cuddling might help

way to use me for my body

🙄🙄

i'm not complaining

pls stop texting me
focus on ur school work !!!

i'm already in the parking lot

MIKE NO
i just need some time alone

oh
alright
well just text me later if you want me to come over
love you

☹️☹️

what

i didn't mean to come across as mean
i'm sorry

you didn't
it's okay

no it's not
ok

okay?

yes ok i'll tell u

el, it's fine
we can talk about it later
if you want to
as long as you're alright

ily 🥺
but no i'll tell u now
i don't want u to worry
today is the anniversary
two years ago today is when i tried to do that thing
u know the thing i tried to do..
but was unsuccessful at doing
that thing

i know the thing

ok well this morning when i woke up i just felt weird
and i couldn't stop thinking abt everything
the past two years
all the stuff that would've happened if i had been successful
and all the stuff that wouldn't have
like us
and moving here
and me being friends w max

i see

yeah
it just hit me hard and i didn't want to go to school just to think abt it in a stuffy classroom so i told my grandparents i wasn't feeling well

i'm sorry, baby
you don't have to explain yourself
are you okay?

yes
i changed my mind tho

what?

will u skip school and come over 🥺

yes, i will
i'm gonna cuddle you so fucking much

such a potty mouth

you love kissing my potty mouth

ew don't say potty and kiss in the same sentence 🤢🤢
mike?
??
are u driving or?

i got caught

i thought u were sneaky

not sneaky enough
when you told me not come over i started to go back to class
and then i turned around to go back out to the student lot and one of the hall monitors saw me
now i have detention of saturday

saturday? 🥺🥺🥺
but

i know
your birthday
fuck
i'm so sorry, el

no it's my fault for asking u to skip
aw now i'm sad
you won't be able to go to newcastle with me ☹️☹️
i won't even get to see u on my bday
this sucks so much 😭😭

maybe i can't get out of it
or get it moved to next saturday

i doubt it
i wanna cry

please don't cry
i'll figure something out
we can celebrate on friday
and on sunday when you get back
and on monday too even
just don't cry

🥺🥺🥺
ur so nice to me

i tend to be nice to girls i'm insanely in love with

thank u for being so nice to me

you never have to thank me, baby
ever
now, are you okay?
do you want to talk about the thing?

yes, i'm ok
and we can talk abt it later
but i'm good for rn
ur a very good distraction u know

well, as soon as school lets out i'll come over and really distract you

😳😳😌😌
u know i'm very tempted to text max and offer her $20 to pull the fire alarm
she'd do it too

she would

ughhhhhh if only i had less morals and more money then i'd do it

if only

u knowwwww
u have less morals and more money 👀👀👀

no can do, my love
i still owe max $20 from when she bet me in august that you and i would end up together

max knew we would? 😳😳
wait
u didn't think we would? 😔

let's not forget that i was an idiot who thought dating another girl would get rid of my feelings for you

aw thank u for that reminder
i rly needed it babe
especially today !! 🤩🤩

sorry

hahhahahaha i kid i kid
how did max know in august??

when i showed them your pic
like the morning after you sent it
she said i head heart eyes or something

omg that's what she told me too
did u rly have heart eyes?? 🥺

yeah
still do

awwww
i wanna kiss u rn 🥰🥰

just kiss?

nope 😌

oh
you know what
maybe i can sneak out
third times the charm right?

aside from kissing u, i also want to braid ur hair
i think it's long enough to braid, dont u?

you wanna braid my hair??

yes
what else could i have meant 😗

right okay
because you're just sooo innocent

oh, i am 😇😇

i think i can attest that that's not true

umm nope no
u cannot sir 😇😇
anyway i gtg
i'm making pasta
and u need to focus on school
come over asap tho 💖
