Alana: Hey my favorite people ever.

Brittany: Hi weirdo.

Madison: Hey!

Alana: Maddie, I have something to ask you. Are you weirded out by the fact that Nathaniel and I are friends?

Madison: Not at all. I'm cool with it.

Alana: Well, we're kind of a thing now.

Brittany: Aww. That's cute.

Madison: *she smiled* That's cool. I'm happy for you kiddo.

Brittany: So when am I getting nieces and nephews? *They all laughed*

Alana: Are you sure you guys are okay with it? I don't want it to be weird if he comes around.

Madison: Stop worrying Lana. Everything is good. As long as you're happy.

Alana: I love you guys so much! *she embraced Madison and Brittany in a hug*

Madison: I love you too Lana.

Brittany: *she teased* Even when you seem to be losing screws.

Madison: I hope this doesn't mean you're gonna ghost us.

Alana: Never!

Brittany: We'll see.

*Later that day, Madison was walking to her class when she saw Alana and Nathaniel talking. They both waved. She smiled half-heartedly and waved back. She knew she needed to be happy for her friend so, she tried not to sulk about it. She made a plan to be as supportive as possible. Bryan drew her away from her thoughts*

Bryan: Hey you. *he gestured for a hug and Madison gave in*

Madison: Are you ever at your classes?

Bryan: Only the one where I get to see you. *he smiled*

Madison: You shouldn't be proud about that. *she laughed*

Bryan: Well, I am and there's nothing you can do to change that.

Madison: I will keep that in mind. Where are you headed to?

Bryan: I figured I'd get something to eat since my teacher isn't here today.

Madison: Lucky you. I wish I could say that too.

Bryan: Same. Then we could spend an hour doing anything.

Madison: Yeah, I really need a break.

Bryan: Have you thought about my question yet?

Madison: I have. I just don't have an answer for you yet.

Bryan: *he smiled*No pressure. I'm not going anywhere. I really want you to be mine.

Madison: You're cute. *she smiled* I got to get to class so, we'll talk later, okay?

Bryan: Bye, angel.

*Later that day*

Nathaniel: You really live under a rock. How have you not watched Captain America yet?

Madison: Some of us actually have a life that includes doing good school and talking to people.

Nathaniel: That's a lame-ass excuse.

Madison: Think whatever you want.

Alana: You should watch it. It's a great movie.

Brittany: You're not missing out, girl.

Madison: I'll watch it one day. Eventually.

Brittany: Ugh! I'm so tired of this laptop always shutting down.

Madison: Struggles of a high school student. *she laughed* You need a new one, honey.

Brittany: Facts. I feel I might throw it into the wall one day.

Madison: That I'd pay to see.

Nathaniel: You're totally boring to the point where you'd find anything entertaining.

Madison: Your point? Hey Brit, I finally listened to that song you recommended. It's fire!

Brittany: I told you I had a good taste in music. Y'all are just sleeping on me.

Madison: Calm down and take the compliment.

Brittany: I thank you, bye.

Madison: *she laughed* You are so dramatic.

Nathaniel: You look cute when you're tense or upset.

Madison: Nathaniel.

Nathaniel: I can't make jokes anymore?

Madison: I didn't get the joke.

Nathaniel: How are you and Bryan?

Madison: We're great. He asked me to be his girlfriend.

Nathaniel: Did you say yes?

Madison: You are unbelievable. I'm not yours anymore. Stop doing that.

Nathaniel: I just asked a question.

Madison: This is not game, Nathaniel.
