(A/N: do not be alarmed. Normal story-telling will return soon. This story hasn't been reduced to texts forever, hehe....)

What was his question? He wasn't going to ask if I liked him back, right? Right?

RIGHT?

Flynn: will you ever admit that you actually enjoy my company? Even a little bit?

Relief!!! Anyway, my reply:

You are bearable at times

Flynn: yes!

Me: what did you tell the lady at Holy Grounds?

Flynn: what do you think I told her?

Me: something ignorant most likely.

Flynn: you underestimate me

Me: just tell me!

Flynn: I'll tell you later sometime in person, I wanna see the look on your face

Me: you may well be safer telling me over the phone

Flynn: getting smacked will be worth seeing the look of horror on your face

Me: jerk

Flynn: haha. So do you dream a lot

Me: define a lot

Flynn: never mind. Do you have any pets?

Me: I had a fish once, but I would dearly love to adopt an elderly cat

Flynn: I've always wanted a dog

Me: oh. Anyway, can I have my Star Wars shirt back?

Flynn: of course. I'll bring it to school Monday, don't worry I won't let anyone see me return it to you

Me: you better not

Flynn: okay so I know you like Harry Potter...

Me: obviously

Flynn: do you like chocolate?

Me: obviously. But only European chocolate.

Flynn: so if you had to give up one of those which would it be? Harry Potter or chocolate?

Me: you're killing me. Figuratively of course

Flynn: but seriously which one?

Me: eergh I don't know!

Flynn: you must answer!

Me: I think I'd give up chocolate??

Me: because then I'd live longer to enjoy Harry Potter

Flynn: good reasoning

Flynn: so what's your favorite movie?

Me: the Harry Potter movies were kind of awful so I'd say Lord of the Rings. All three of them

Flynn: favorite book

Me: Harry Potter series

Flynn: okay

Me: what's your favorite movie?

Flynn: I don't know

Me: well think

Flynn: my mind is suddenly blank

Me: ok well you've seen Harry Potter right?

Flynn: yes but like you said the movies suck. I like the books better

Me: right. Have you seen Lord of the Rings?

Flynn: the first one

Me: you're missing out

Flynn: I guess

Me: Star Wars?

Flynn: the first three

Me: they're the best except for maybe The Force Awakens....except for one part....

Flynn: no spoilers! so are you like a total freak-out over Star Wars?

Me: no I just like the movies and so I bought a shirt that says Star Wars on it which you now have and must return to me

Flynn: I will I promise

Flynn: so what makes you happiest?

Me: being left alone hint hint

Flynn: 😐

Flynn: what's your dream vacation

Me: a trip to New Zealand to see the real life hobbit village

Flynn: sounds cool

Me: either that or a trip to universal studios to see Hogwarts

Flynn: if you go you have to take me with you

Me: no

Flynn: please????

Me: I'm not actually going

Flynn: but if you do

Me: shh

Flynn: ok

Me: do you know the elvish word for friend? And don't google it

Flynn: ....

Me: Mellon

Flynn: well, Mellon, you have to bring me along on your dream vacation

Me: it wouldn't be a dream vacation if you were there

Flynn: you're mean Alison ☹️

Me: it's not personal I'd just want it to be a family only trip

Flynn: excuses excuses

Flynn: have you ever seen the ocean in person?

Me: no

Flynn: me neither but I want to. I want to travel all over someday

Me: I want to stay home and never do anything out of the ordinary

Flynn: you sound like a hobbit

Me: good

Flynn: your biggest pet peeve

Me: improper grammar

Me: and you

Flynn: 🤕

Me: ha

Flynn: favorite cake and ice cream flavors

Me: chocolate on both counts

Flynn: I like any cake and any ice cream

Me: so how many times have you had to unlock a car with a coat hanger?

Flynn: three, including today

Me: and do you often sleep in bean bag chairs?

Flynn: no

Flynn: what's your usual bedtime

Me: I go to bed whenever I get the notion

Flynn: lucky. I go to bed whenever Tilly gets the notion

Me: sorry

Flynn: but that's what coffee is for

Me: I've never had coffee

Flynn: but you like to hang out at a coffee shop...???

Me: and drink hot chocolate

Flynn: oh right

Me: so what did you tell the lady at the coffee shop?

Flynn: 🤐

Me: ugh you disgust me

Flynn: and you amuse me

Me: whatever

Flynn: so....when is your birthday?

Me: September 14th

Flynn: happy belated birthday. Like really belated

Me: thanks? When's yours?

Flynn: November 17th

Flynn: so you still have a chance to get me something...hint hint

Me: nope

Flynn: hard to believe it's already Halloween next Monday

Me: yep if only we got off school that day

Flynn: right?

Flynn: and Emerson Blakely is having another party the Sunday before

Me: yep

Flynn: costume party

Me: yep

Flynn: are you going to wear a costume?

Me: yep. I'll go as a girl who wants to know what her annoying "friend" told the lady at Holy Grounds

Flynn: I don't think anyone will know what you're supposed to be....

Me: oh shut up

Flynn: nope. But I'll tell you what I want to be
