Good afternoon, friend.

 

good evening, friend

 

fancy seeing you here

 

Yes, I am quite fancy, and I am here.

 

are you?

 

Fancy, or here?

 

fancy

 

Nope. Not even a little.

 

I’m wearing a hoodie right now, and I haven’t slept in four days.

 

ok, you really need to get some sleep dork

 

like, REALLY need to

 

I’m fine.

 

I’ve had worse.

 

that isnt reassuring

 

you need sleep, dude

 

catch some zs already

 

I can’t.

 

Too much to do.

 

jeez, how hard is dork school?

 

Very.

 

Very hard.

 

And there’s a competition coming up.

 

And I still need to get this essay done.

 

And my math homework hasn’t been touched and it’s due tomorrow.

 

woah

 

uh

 

ok

 

but still

 

surely you can do something

 

Yes, I can.

 

Get this work done.

 

i mean surely you can find a way to get some sleep

 

No.

 

Too much to do.

 

Sleep is wasted time.

 

And there isn’t any time to waste.

 

you cant just burn yourself out, dude

 

if you just keep pushing on a tank of empty gas,

 

youll crash

 

That was

 

actually quite clever.

 

im hurt by your surprised text tone

 

Suck it up.

 

And I won’t crash.

 

I can’t crash.

 

pretty sure ‘not being able’ to crash wont stop it

 

I’ll stop the crash through sheer force of will, then.

 

that is how people end up either dead or failing because they tried to do too much at once

 

i dont want you to get hurt pushing yourself so hard

 

Stop it.

 

stop what?

 

Don’t even.

 

You know what you’re doing.

 

Don’t guilt-trip me into listening to you by being nice.

 

Kate’s already tried that, and she had an adorable pair of puppy-dog eyes on her side.

 

I will not bow to you.

 

then why are you trying so hard to get me to stop?

 

if you can just ignore it, surely i can keep trying

 

I

 

Shuttup.

 

pwetty pwease?

 

i dont want my new fweind getting huwt

 

please, friend? :,(

 

NO

 

YOU CANT USE EMOJIS AGAINST ME

 

THATS CHEATING

 

(ಥ﹏ಥ)

 

STOPPIT

 

o(╥﹏╥)o

 

FINE

 

I’ll get some sleep

 

just

 

please

 

stop making me imagine you crying

 

i cant take it

 

:)

 

oh my god my heart

 

thats too adorable

 

i cant

 

consider this the only time i find the use of emojis acceptable

 

You still cheated

 

I call cheats

 

it doesnt matter as long as you get some sleep, dork friend

 

I’ll just take a quick nap

 

An hour, tops

 

I really do need to get some work done, and I have classes at 5

 

thats enough for now

 

thanks

 

Don’t.

 

Don’t thank me.

 

You’ll make me

 

…?

 

nevermind 

 

just

 

dont

 

...ok?

 

weirdo

 

Yep.

 

I am.

 

I’m gonna take that nap now.

 

sweet dreams

 

I wish Thanks, punk.

VICTORIA TURNED MY ALARM OFF

YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT?!??!

 

10. HOURS.

 

I MISSED ALL MY CLASSES

 

MY SPOTLESS RECORD IS FUCKING RUINED

 

NONE OF MY ASSIGNMENTS ARE READY

 

I HAVE FIVE HOURS TO FINISH 2 DAYS WORTH OF WORK

 

AND IT’S ALL

 

YOUR

 

FAULT!!!!!

 

woah

 

geez

 

sory

 

SORRY?!!



YOU THINK FUCKING *SORRY* IS GONNA FIX THIS?!

 

i didnt mean 4 dis 2 hapen

 

i was jus woried about u

 

SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH

 

STOP BEING NICE

 

AND JUST

 

just

 

stop

 

Just stop.

 

Just

 

Shuttup

 

And let me be mad at you

 

Stop being so

 

nice.

 

i

 

ok

 

ill shuttup

 

No!

 

Youre still being too nice!

 

Youre just

 

Just

 

cool

 

and you need to stop it so i can be properly mad at you

 

just act like Victoria did when I cussed her out

 

Be all self-righteous until you realized how much work you cost me

 

And *then* be sorry

 

so i can be mad right

 

stop being so cute nice.

 

i cant

 

because i realy am sory

 

i didnt mean 4 this 2 hapen

 

oh

 

and im doing spelling errors

 

sorry

 

still a little groggy

 

I

 

Shit.

 

Youve ruined this.

 

Im sorry

 

Im not even really mad at you so much as im mad at myself

 

i just didnt want you to be right

 

but i cant even be properly mad at you for being right

 

because i feel like a person for the first time in weeks

 

so im just mad at myself

 

but i cant scream at myself

 

so what do i do?

 

break shit?

 

that usually works for me

 

Heh

 

I cant really break anything in this shitty dorm

 

All of it is irreplaceable

 

well you could get really high

 

Okay, first of all, I don’t do drugs,

 

And second, I am not lighting up in my room.

 

fair

 

well then

 

id say take this opportunity to do all the normal morning shit,

 

brushing your teeth and showering and all that,

 

and then looking at those assignments and seeing if you can just straight up not do some of them

 

that way, you can get a decent grade on the ones you actually need to do

 

and skip the rest

 

That

 

Is quite a sensible suggestion.

 

im just a fountain of sensibility

 

Whatever you say, Punk.

 

Whatever you say.
