Eliza [12:14 PM]
Hello Serena. It was lovely to meet you last night.
Joey and Donna just left a few minutes ago.
Everything’s quiet now. I've made a list of tasks for myself. Including laundry.
Indira [12:14 PM]

Aynsley [12:15 PM]

she thinks juniper is my friend there
if she knew the truth she'd probs call the cops
Madison [12:15 PM]

Indira [12:16 PM]

so now i'm grounded i guess
can't leave unless it’s school or errands
Eliza [12:16 PM]
I'm so sorry, Indira.
Would it help if someone spoke to her? I could offer academic mentoring?
Indira [12:17 PM]

Aynsley [12:18 PM]
mine didn't even ask
they don't gaf - they're mad i skipped supper friday
i could prob vanish and they'd just text "u good?"
Indira [12:19 PM]
anyway. i miss him
and i'm pissed i can't see him
i feel like everyone else is getting time and i'm stuck at home like a loser
Serena [12:19 PM]
same here tbh
i mean not the grounded part
but like
i don't even really know him yet
last night he barely looked at me
i know i'm new and older and whatever but
you all seem so close and i feel like i'm on the outside looking in
Madison [12:20 PM]
aw girl no
that's not how it is
Aynsley [12:20 PM]
100%. ur part of it now
joey just needs time
he's so incredible, but only so much of him to go around
Eliza [12:21 PM]
He is so more than most people think he is.
And he has a good heart. And he's growing. I believe that deeply.
He will see you, Serena. I promise.
Serena [12:21 PM]
it's not even jealousy
i just
i really want to belong
i've never wanted anyone a much as i want him
i feel like i'm catching up and everyone else is already miles ahead
Juniper [12:22 PM]
np on the cover indira

fr - ur hot. he's gonna be into u
Madison [12:22 PM]
yes yes yes

like it takes time
but once he sees u… ur gone
Aynsley [12:23 PM]

Madison [12:23 PM]

Aynsley [12:23 PM]

Indira [12:24 PM]

like not to the tattoo part
but the joey part
i want to kiss him so bad
maybe more
Eliza [12:24 PM]
That's between you and Joey, sweetheart. But he sure does get under your skin and into your heart.
Serena [12:25 PM]

u all talk like ur all like way into relationships with him
he hasn't even talked to me
Juniper [12:25 PM]

but real talk
u will get there
we'll talk to him

Madison [12:26 PM]
yes pls
we all want him to b with u
bc ur one of us now
joey's girls. no weak links
Aynsley [12:26 PM]
exactly.
we can take turns
and hype each other up
like a relay team but with more smashing
Eliza [12:27 PM]
I may not understand all of this slang, but I agree with the spirit of it.
We are not rivals. We are witnesses. Each of us has seen something in him.
And he needs us to reflect it back.
Serena [12:27 PM]
thank you
all of u
i needed this
Indira [12:28 PM]
same
this chat is better than therapy lol
Madison [12:28 PM]

Aynsley [12:28 PM]

Juniper [12:28 PM]

Eliza [12:29 PM]
Is "deadass" positive?
I'll assume yes.
What's next?
Mansplain
...um, actually...
The day after Joey's eighteenth birthday he discovers that something has changed. He'd been accused of mansplaining before, but now when he does it, women begin to think that he's right! Where did this power come from, and where will it take him? Let's find out! Note: all characters are over eighteen.
