Chapter Sixteen, Pointless

x

My phone repeatedly buzzed again with text messages from the one and only Carmen. I groaned, but smiled as I opened the thread I had with her.

Carmen: You are not seriously doing homework

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing

What class is it for?

If you say math, I will choke on my Goldfish

I think you're playing on your play station or whatever it is

Z-box or something

Me: lol, it's an X-Box. technically a 360

yes, I'm doing homework. STOP TEXTING ME

laugh, but I bet you're doing it to. hAh

and srsly, stop with the perf grammar

Carmen: I'm cringing at your texts. No wonder you're barely passing English

Me: Idk what I'm doing with my life in the future. it will not include grammar for sure

Carmen: Good luck👍

Me: WoW SHE KNOWS WHAT EMOJIS ARE

🙈SHES NOT LAME🙏

Carmen: 😒

Me: same

Carmen: You're still replying and quick.

I'M TELLING. YOU'RE NOT DOING HOMEWORK!

Me: LEAVE ME BE

Carmen: Why? You're not doing anything

Me: why did I give you my digits again?

Carmen: Gross. Don't say digits. How old are you? Ew

Me: YOU USED IMPROPER CAPITALIZATION OMG I CANT EVEN

Carmen: Weirdo

Me: whoa, you said bye. GO AWAY

Carmen: Why? So you can text yourself? Lol

Me: I'm done

Carmen: With what? You're lame comebacks?

BURN

Me: that was soooooooo lame

BOOM

Carmen: I'm sorry, did your head explode?

No, that was your ego because that was TERRIBLE

Me: you know what?

Carmen: If you say chicken butt, I will shove my Goldfish down your throat

Me: wtf, you're a freaking lunatic

Carmen: ...
