Private message between Flower Enjoyer and Theater Nerd

Flower Enjoyer:

I want to issue a challenge

Theater Nerd:

Oh?

Theater Nerd:

Does this have anything to do with Homecoming in three weeks?

Flower Enjoyer:

Yes it does

Flower Enjoyer:

I think the first person to ask out their crush to homecoming should have the other pay for the tickets and a date at a fancy restaurant

Theater Nerd:

Why?

Flower Enjoyer:

I just think that this is a great way to motivate us to move forward

Theater Nerd:

Let me guess, you already plan on asking out Shrub today?

Flower Enjoyer:

I can still chicken out!

Theater Nerd:

I know that's why I'm taking you up on this challenge

Theater Nerd:

but it has to be an actual date

Theater Nerd:

Not a friend date

Flower Enjoyer:

Of course

Hey Gem and fWhip why weren't you at school?

GeminiTay:

Sorry guys, I was taking care of fWhip all day

Duck Mom:

Oh no, what's up with fWhip?

GeminiTay:

He's dealing with some heartbreak right now

Codvenger:

Again?

GeminiTay:

This time it's serious

GeminiTay:

Simon broke up with him in the middle of the night and then blocked his number

GeminiTay:

He's been despondent since Sunday morning

Mer-cutio:

That's awful

GeminiTay:

Yeah it is

Mer-cutio:

This is why I don't like Simon

Eldritch Girlboss:

No, you don't like Simon because they gave you ick in kindergarten

Mer-cutio:

They're the reason I have trouble breathing in water!

Eldritch Girlboss:

Jimmy you just have under developed gills, it's fine
