Heyyy gurl! So, how was your day!?
Mine was so amazing!!!
I do not want to talk about it.
but, your day was good? tell me more.
do not change the subject okay? why not?
what happened? Do you need food?
I didn't change the subject? but fine its
cause Kristy hates me now so, yes please, I do
need food.
you did change it. anyways excuse me?
spill (Kristy's the girl you're trying to shag
right? Sorry I can't keep up.) Oh and too bad,
I ate it all.
Yes and no but, did I not just tell you that I don't want to
talk about it? How dare you.
I'm your bestie, you have to. It's the law!
Um no way, pass
Are you sure? Cause your gonna get arrested. I
swear on our lord and savior the green M&M!
I'm good. Jail would be so much better than
living with what happened tonight.
No, you can not hide shit from me. SPILL. NOW.
I will be making a citizen's arrest. Wait did you kill
someone?
Really? But, NO WAY. I'm not telling you shit. And no.
Don't I tell you whenever I do
stupid stuff?
I guess. alright fine. but DON'T you DARE make
a big deal about this!
Well? Go on then. I don't have all year.
I kissed her
I'm sorry WHAT.
Yep. Dumb as shit. I don't even
know why I did I just kind of did.
GURL. MK you're my bestie and I
love you but even I know that's
stupid. But like was she any good?
I know I know it was really stupid.
now my chance has gone from
5% to 0%. And she was silent after.
Like just staring at me. She was great.
So what did you do?
I left. like I ran away
NO. You didn't!! You can't just leave!
Haven't I taught you better?
Well, I did. And now if there was a
chance it's gone for good.
No! but she was like, the one
other gay that isn't Mrs
Thomas!
yeah but I mean, did I really
have a chance?
... I mean..... 5%... that's kind of
a lot
yeah no. happy New Year's Eve by the way.
you too. anyways it's ok
though I'm sure there
are plenty.. a few other fish
in the sea
thanks? anyways I've to go to go
the door's ringing.
Nooo! Don't leave meeeeee
I'm lonelyyyyy.
Gurl.
Hello?
Mk. Don't expect any more
texts you left me so I'm gonna
go get laid. Merry new years bitch!
God damn, it's late. I mean it can't be that late, someone's knocking at the door, right? I check my watch. Nope, it's really fucking late. Whoever is knocking at my door is either my mom or a serial killer. Both are insane and, both sound awful right about now.
*click*
"Hel- Kristy. You're, here! Great," I say in a way that made this unconformable and I now have to talk to her. So it is a serial killer. Oh my god, she can not be here and this? This can not be happening. Holy fuck I look like shit. My hair's a mess and, oh god, I'm wearing my shitty pajama aren't I? She looks perfect, I suppose she always does though.
"Hey, Lexi! How are you! Happy New Years!" she says. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Why does she have to be here!
"Um, isn't it a bit late? Why are you here?" Oh, I know exactly why she's here. To kill me. Then probably spread my corpse all over my yard for all to see.
"It's almost midnight silly! And you know, New Years?" she says.
"And?" I say. Is it customary to stab people at midnight or something? I bet it is.
"I wanted to repay you," she says with this stupid smile, which also happened to be stupid cute, on her face like I'm supposed to know what she's talking about. I never really celebrated New Years Eve and, midnight. Plus if it was to know something about New Years it would be from Harper and the only thing Harper would mention was if shagging was involved.
*beep* *beep* *beep* *beEp!*
"What the fuck was that?" I say. It sounds like a bird on crack and I want to smash it in the skull or a phone alarm.
"Ah! There it is!" she says, excited. Too excited. Is that the sound the bomb makes as a way to tell her 'five seconds before I blow this bitch up! Get your pretty face out of here!'
"What i-" is all I can manage before she kisses me. A kiss at midnight. I had forgotten about that. I think my mum had done that with dad. Right, my brother almost threw out!
"I'm sorry about earlier, how I didn't say anything. I was a bit shocked! The girl I've been chasing for seven months kissed me! But I just wanted to say thank you and, I wanted to return the favor."
The favor? Woah. But seven months! Seven? So that means I've waited seven months to kiss her. Wait, she's been 'chasing' me for seven months? How in the hell did I not notice the love of my life trying to date me? I'm so disappointed in myself but, that won't stick. I love her and she loves me. Awesome!
"I love you so much," I say out of lack for anything smarter.
"I love you too," is said, and, then it is followed by the third and the best kiss of my entire life. It's perfect. It's New Year's Eve fireworks are going off all around. They light up her perfect face and her perfect long red hair. Oh, Harper's gonna flip when I tell him about this.
Ellie
P.S And they lived happily every after. Thee end

I can't claim anything yet this week, but it was a happy surprise to see your follow in my inbox. Thanks for that. I really liked the more particular phrases, like the whole "A-killer-is-knocking-on-my-door-obviously" thing. It's a very familiar feeling to me and I hope you lean into similar thought processes in future works. As far as the romance, we don't see much of it beyond the short bit after the knock and maybe a little in the 'text speak' I don't really recognize a lot of the introduction's style, but it's recognizably conversationa...
