cenz 💜
i had to volunteer in a children's classroom
as a part of my requirements to graduate
and they had me read dr seuss books so
excuse me for having the whos fresh in
my brain 💀

malcolm 🥁
cindy lou who 😍

jack 👏
still can't believe cenzie is studying to be
a TEACHER LMAO imagine her with kids

cenz 💜
actually i'm VERY good with kids, i just
need the coffee to kick in first before i can
even look at a child

ayla 🎸
somehow, that's not very comforting, but
i'm sure you'll make a great teacher!

... once the coffee kicks in

hanna 🎹
LMAO 💀

i'm just excited that we all chose to go
to california for winter break so we
could include cate in our plans for
break!! i am absolutely IN LOVE with
nyc but i'm dying for that warm cali
weather rn 🥵

ayla 🎸
you and me both, hanna

malcolm 🥁
YES california winter weather >>>

oh and i forgot to ask, is finn joining
us??

cenz 💜
💀 bruh

hunter 🍃
um...

jack 👏
dude...

malcolm 🥁
oh

oh shit

i'm so sorry han i forgot for
a second

hanna 🎹
lol it's okay, no worries

and i mean if you guys wanted to
invite him that's cool, might be a
tad awkward between us at first but
i'm a big kid i can handle it lol

cenz 💜
i'm 👧 a 🙊 big 😏 kid 🧍‍♀️ now 🥵

hanna 🎹
never mind i hate you

the second i see you in a couple days
it's on sight 🤛

cenz 💜
you're on 🤜

ayla 🎸
hanna, it's okay, we don't have to
if you're not comfortable

jack 👏
^

hanna 🎹
and i appreciate that, really i do,
but that's not fair to you guys

he's your friend too, and besides
if you don't invite him it'll look like
you're taking sides and that's
specifically what i didn't want

cate 🐝
true, but isn't it a little too late
now? he might already have
break and holiday plans

malcolm 🥁
doesn't hurt to ask 🤷‍♂️ he's usually
pretty good with last minute plans

hunter 🍃
are you sure you're okay with all this,
hanna?

hanna 🎹
yeah sure, the more the merrier,
right?

mal... have you seen finn's twitter
yet today?

agent 69 👌
um no cenz, why?

agent 666 🤫
you can go look or i'll give u the
basic rundown

regardless you're getting the latter

agent 69 👌
i'll check it out after you
explain since the app is updating
anyway

agent 666 🤫
OKAY SO BASICALLY:

finn posted on his twitter searching
for a girl that he met in spain because
he was there doing a modeling shoot
of some sort

we know finn isn't very public about
these kind of things unless he's REALLY
into her because, i mean, we know how
it all started between him and hanna

so in conclusion i'm worried that if he
does show up to cali with us, it'll be
hecka awkward between him and hanna
because even tho she denies it, i know
she's still hurting and trying to get over
him and the breakup still

agent 69 👌
oh dang, this must be really
recent then because he's only
been there a couple days and
we all talk quite often so you
think he'd mention something
like this

agent 666 🤫
exactly my point

we all (minus hanna) are still friends
with finn so wouldn't he have mentioned
her?? this is definitely recent

agent 69 👌
unless he purposefully DIDN'T
because he knew we'd tell hanna...

agent 666 🤫
oh dang, i didn't think of that

but regardless i still think it's recent

agent 69 👌
should we still invite him then??

and if we do, should we tell
hanna about this??

agent 666 🤫
jack just texted me that he invited
finn so that's done already, and i
would've still invited him because if
we didn't hanna would whoop me
for "taking sides"

but about this whole finn and mystery
girl thing, i'm not going to mention
it to hanna. she hardly goes on twitter
so maybe she won't see it at all??

agent 69 👌
true, but knowing how the fans
are, they might start posting
it to instagram and tagging hanna
just to start drama

agent 666 🤫
SHIT i forgot they do that

agent 69 👌
you literally do that all the time—

agent 666 🤫
not the point, malcolm.

DOUBLE SHIT jack said finn said
sure and he'll be flying in on friday
and he can't wait to see us 😳

agent 69 👌
isn't that the same day hanna is
flying in too?

agent 666 🤫
TRIPLE SHIT 😭

agent 69 👌
houston, we may have a problem

agent 666 🤫
this is going to be a fun
vacation...
