Brian from the Coffee Shop

Saturday 7-1-23 3:14pm

Hi Penny. Its Brian that bought the iced latte with goat milk and two shots of caramel syrup. I hope you enjoyed your mocha cappuccino! To get right to the point, I’d like to take you out to dinner. Tonight, preferably! Love waits for no one, right? Haha *Crying laughing emoji*

3:25pm

Hi Brian! I’d love get dinner with you, but tonight is too soon. I have a birthday party to host for my bestie! *party hat emoji* I think I mentioned that in line earlier. I’m free tomorrow anytime you want me though!

3:26pm

Oh that’s right! Lol I’m such an idiot *upside down smile face emoji*

Okay. How about we do lunch tomorrow. Noon. We will meet at the coffee shop and go from there!

3:30pm

Ooo a man with a plan! I like it! Can’t wait to see you then! Have a good rest of your day! *big smile emoji* *pink heart emoji*

3:31pm

Awesome! It’s a date! So what are you up to the rest of the day?

4:00pm

Omg sorry I forgot about your bday party again. I really am hopeless ha *skull emoji*

Hope you ladies have fun!! *celebrating emoji*

5:01pm

Me again! Just checking in on you! Hope you are partying hard, but safe! Wish I could celebrate with you! *red heart emoji*

5:10pm

I know you are with your friends, but everyone has time to check their phone once in a while.

Don’t forget about me, plz *winky face emoji*

5:35pm

Starting to feel ignored. Hope this won’t be a trend in our relationship *praying hands emoji*

6:06pm

I know time with friends is important, but as your future husband this will not be tolerated. I’ll expect you to check in with me every hour while out.

Just putting this out there so you know my future expectations of my wife.

8:11pm

This is entirely unacceptable! I hope you are happy with yourself. You are missing out on a man that would’ve given you the world! But you chose to ignore me in favor of friends that won’t even be there for you when you are on your death bed. I would’ve been there for you. That’s what a husband does. Good luck out there. You’re going to need it with that face! *sick face emoji*

Jason from the Grocery Store

Thursday 8-3-23 7:21pm

Hey. It’s Jason.

7:31pm

Hi, Jason. I’m happy you asked for my number. I’ve seen you in Target a few times now but was too shy to come say hi. *shy hiding emoji* *embarrassed emoji*

8:00pm

Yeah. I’ve seen you around too. Must be on similar schedules.

8:05pm

For realz! What do you do for work?

Friday 8-4-23 9:25am

Sorry. Fell asleep. I work in finance at a big corporate bank downtown. You?

10:10am

Of course! No worries! I also tend to fall asleep on my phone after a long day haha

I’m a first grade teacher at a local school. Currently on my mandated duty free time while my kiddos are at recess.

10:47pm

Cool.

10:50pm

Haha yeah I love my job. So what’s the plan, Jason? Are you gonna take this baddie out?

6:13pm

Okay! Hit me with the details when you figure them out!

Mateo from School

Tuesday 9-12-23 3:33pm

Hey Penny! Hope I’m not overstepping. I know some teachers only give their personal phone numbers out of professional curtesy. But I wanted to ask you if you still needed someone to volunteer for the Social Committee?

3:40pm

Hi, Mateo! No you’re not overstepping! Honestly, none of my other co-workers have bothered to text/call me so it’s a nice change of pace. I do need someone willing to join especially since so much of the Social Committee members retired last year! Are you interested?

3:42pm

Awesome! I’d love to be a part of it!! Gotta earn some brownie points with admin ya know?

3:48pm

On God. Honestly, the whole school’s social dynamic is a nightmare, but it’ll be nice having you on the committee!

3:54pm

Looking forward to working with you more! I really like how you run your classroom. I think our teaching styles vibe on the same frequency *smile emoji*

4:02pm

TYSM! I think we def vibe on the same frequency. I gotta go. I have so much prep to do for tomorrow before my mandatory bed rotting time with my pup. *skull emoji* *sleep emoji*

4:06pm

I feel ya. I also desperately need my unwinding time after work. See ya at school tomorrow! *peace sign emoji*

Thursday 9-14-23 2:22pm

Hi Mateo! I’m so sorry! I forgot to add you to the email list yesterday! The Social Committee’s first meeting this year is at 3:05pm today in the conference room by the breakroom. Hope to see you there!

2:25pm

Bet. I’ll be there for sure! Looking forward to it!

Friday 9-15-23 11:11am

Hey Penny! Hope you see this before your lunch break. I have some more ideas about the fundraiser you want to organize for this year’s Halloween Bash! Can we talk during our lunch/planning period today?

11:15am

Sure! I’d love to talk more about it! I’m really excited to try and revive this event. The school hasn’t done it for the past two years! Crazy!

I shouldn’t be texting with kiddos still in my room! Talk soon, Mateo!

2:34pm

Hi! So sorry we got interrupted during our meeting earlier! Admin sure does have lousy timing most days. *face palm emoji*

I loved your idea to move the location of the Halloween Bash to a local barn so we can make it a Barnyard Bash. It’ll give us major brownie points with admin for being more “inclusive.” You really know how to play admin’s political game, Mateo!

2:36pm

Thank you thank you *bowing emoji* I take pride in my ability to charm admin. Let’s talk more after school once we get kids on busses!

2:40pm

Shoot I’m doing it again! Thanks for keeping me on track! Talk after school!

8:14pm

I had a really good time tonight, Penny! Thank you for going out with me! Sorry if I was a nervous wreck all night.

I really like you and tbh I’ve had a crush on you all last year, but just didn’t find the courage to ask you out. I’m happy you were the one to be more forward!

8:16pm

I had a really good time too, Mateo! *smile emoji* *pink heart emoji*

Lmao I’ve caught you lookin a couple times. You are not as subtle as you think *laughing emoji*

8:18pm

OMG NO! Ugh I thought I was so careful! *embarrassed emoji*

Well, I’m happy those looks didn’t give you the ick! The last thing I’d want is for you to think I’m some creep! *worried face emoji*

8:21pm

Hehe the thought did cross my mind once or twice. But once we started talking more it cleared things up for me.

8:22pm

*wiping sweat away emoji* Thank God!

I’d like to take you out again real soon! And this time I’m planning the date! Can you do next Tuesday for dinner after work?

8:23pm

That works for me! *warm smile emoji*

8:25pm

Excellent! It’s a date! I hope you have a good weekend, Penny! I’m out of town visiting old college friends so if I don’t respond quickly to you that’s why!

8:26pm

That’s so sweet and considerate of you to tell me! *sparkling eye emoji* Have a fun with your friends and I’ll see you at work Monday *pink heart emoji* *red heart emoji*

Monday 9-18-23 5:22pm

Hiya! Sorry we didn’t get a chance to chat in school today! Testing season is brutal am I right?

Just wanted to confirm our date for tomorrow! I’d like to pick you up at your place at 5pm and I’ll take us to our dinner reservation.

5:24pm

Hi! *smile emoji* It’s okay I was also crazy busy with these dumb online assessments admin has been obsessed with! Three of my kiddos Chromebooks crashed! Ugh…I don’t get paid enough to deal with issues like this.

That works for me, Mateo! *pink heart emoji*

5:25pm

Awesome! I can’t wait to see you, Penny! *smile emoji* *purple heart emoji*

Tuesday 9-19-23 11:11pm

I think I’m starting to fall for you Miss Riley *winky face emoji* *purple heart emoji*

I wish our date tonight could’ve went on longer, but we gotta think of our students in the morning.

11:11pm

I may be falling for you too Mr. Palencia hehe *warm smile emoji* *pink heart emoji* *red heart emoji*

11:12pm

I wish our date could’ve lasted longer too. Maybe you should take a girl out on a weekend night so it can last longer *winky face emoji*

11:13pm

I couldn’t agree more with that statement. Friday, 5pm. You pick the restaurant this time and I’ll pick the bar for our nightcap. *Cheers emoji*

11:14pm

Okay! It’s a date! *blushing smiling emoji* *pink heart emoji*

Mateo <3

Thursday 9-19-24 6:12am

Good morning Miss Riley! *purple heart emoji* *sunshine emoji* *teaching emoji*

Happy 1 year anniversary to us! I can’t believe its been a year already. Hopefully you are reading this as you get ready for the day. Make sure you bring a change of clothes for after work because I got the whole evening planned!

I love you so much! I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us, and I know together we can take on the world!
