Jacqueline: Dude, don’t you have a girlfriend
Anthony: Ew, girls
Jacqueline: Omg really
Anthony: Jk, I just like the solo life
Jacqueline: I thought you were dating someone
Anthony: Yeah but we broke up a while back
Jacqueline: Damn, sorry dude
Anthony: No biggie
Jacqueline: What happened?
Anthony: She cheated on me
Jacqueline: Damn
Anthony: Yeah, things didn't end well. I'm good now tho
Jacqueline: That’s good
Anthony: Yep
Jacqueline: I’ve been meaning to ask. Why did you choose to do film for your major?
Anthony: Well, after my whole breakup sequence I only had the energy to watch movies and tv to make myself feel better. My parents taught me to never touch drugs or alcohol, so thankfully I didn’t fall into that. Watching media was all that kept me going. So I decided I wanted to make media that kept others going too.
Jacqueline: Wow… that’s awesome
Anthony: Yeah I guess haha. Why did you choose bio?
Jacqueline: Uhm, my reasons kinda lame compared to yours?
Anthony: Just tell me
Jacqueline: I just thought it was something cool and smart to do and tell people… everything else seemed boring.
Anthony: Interesting
Jacqueline: I can feel you judging me from the other side of the screen
Anthony: No I’m not judging you. That’s good, most people don’t even know what they want to do.
Jacqueline: Yeah I guess. I feel kinda dumb compared to everyone else here tho. Used to be the smartest back in highschool.
Anthony: Yeah, you really liked to tell people about what it felt like being valedictorian haha
Jacqueline: Hey, I wasn’t a showoff, so don’t make me seem like I was
Anthony: “Woahh, guys my GPA is a 4.5, that’s crazyy. I don’t even know how I did that”
Jacqueline: Hey! I didn’t say that!
Anthony: -File Attachment-
Jacqueline: What the… how do you have that? I actually said that?
Anthony: Yeah, the meme group chat loved you
Jacqueline: … well damn. I feel attacked.
Anthony: Yeah, I don’t think there was a single person in our school that didn’t know who you were haha
Jacqueline: Wow, I sound like a bitch
Anthony: Nah you weren’t that bad. You were always nice to me.
Jacqueline: I’m glad I had some form of human decency. It’s only been what, 2 years since then? Feels like eons ago.
Anthony: Yeah, it’s crazy what can happen in two years
Jacqueline: Dude, now I’m stuck at home with my parents for the rest of the year :( Do you know how weird that is after living by myself for 2 years?
Anthony: Can’t relate lol
Jacqueline: Really? Did you move out permanently already?
Anthony: Nah my parents gone
Jacqueline: Wait, really?
Anthony: Yeah they gone gone lol
Jacqueline: Oh no… I’m so sorry… when did they pass away?
Anthony: Don’t worry about it, happened back in highschool
Jacqueline: Wait really?? How did I never know that? You never looked sad or anything
Anthony: Yeah I was just good at hiding it. Didn’t want anyone worrying about me.
Jacqueline: Damn, I’m so sorry. I should’ve known
Anthony: Don’t be sorry, it’s not your fault or anything
Jacqueline: Still, I feel bad. Maybe I could of helped or something
Anthony: Nah, I think you had just broken up with your boyfriend so it’s not like you could’ve done anything anyway
Jacqueline: That guy was an ass
Anthony: Yeah, actually. Don’t know why you dated him.
Jacqueline: Ugh, hormones probably. Everyone said he was hot and I thought dating him made me the shit
Anthony: You were already the shit, you didn’t need him
Jacqueline: Awwww, thanks boo ^3^
Anthony: I take that back, I want a refund for my regards
Jacqueline: A refund huh? :)
Anthony: Nevermind, don’t even try
Jacqueline: Aww come on. I thought you were actually pretty hot back in the day
Anthony: Thanks, I feel old now
Jacqueline: Wow, so ungrateful
Anthony: What, do you want me to bow down at your feet? “Oh Jacqueline, I am unworthy of your praise. I should feel honored to even have your eyes skim in my direction!”
Jacqueline: Perfect :D
Anthony: Whatever, Imma go play video games now
Jacqueline: Nooo, don’t leave meee
Anthony: Bai
Jacqueline: Pleaaase, I’ll buy you food later! Just gimme something to do or I’m gonna go crazy in here!
Anthony: Food?
Jacqueline: Yes, whatever you want
Anthony: Hmmmm… okay, it’s a date.
Jacqueline: A date?

Well, she laid a trap, and he stepped into it. Mama used to say that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. At some point, though I may have missed it, a little foreshadowing of the possible ending would have piqued my interest, but excellent story.
