?
this is tori's number right?

tori
yeah...
who is this?

?
oops sorry
it's cole
jack gave me your number

tori
ohhh okay
this makes more sense
what's up?

cauliflower
yeah anyways
i kinda just wanted to apologize for z and turcs
they can be a bit much at times

tori
cole you don't need to apologize
and honestly they're fine

cauliflower
are you sure?
maybe i was just reading into things
but it you looked really uncomfortable when turcs asked about you and quinn dating

tori
oh you saw that?

cauliflower
yeah but i think i'm the only one

tori
okay umm
quinn and i never dated
everyone just assumes that
but that's not what bothered me

cauliflower
then what bothered you?

tori
it's more so the fact that i didn't know where the conversation was going to go
thank you for changing the topic

cauliflower
i could sense something was up
it's okay if you don't want to tell me
i just wanted to make sure you're okay

tori
yeah i'm fine
it's nothing too serious
it's more so something i'm not sure that we want to be brought up
it would probably make things awkward

cauliflower
whose we?

tori
i guess all of us but mostly me and jack

cauliflower
oh
was not expecting that
wait so is it something embarrassing?

tori
you're a man of many questions

cauliflower
sorry i can lay off

tori
no no it's okay
for whatever reason i feel like i can trust you
anyways it's more embarrassing for jack than anyone else
i would tell you but idk how jack feels about it

cauliflower
i'm honestly surprised i didn't know about it already
although the guys have never really mentioned you before

tori
i kinda told them to do that on purpose

cauliflower
wait why

tori
obviously some people know who i am because i grew up with them but i didn't really want to get caught up in that world
it's just safer that way

cauliflower
i understand
some of these puck bunnies are insane

tori
i think this is the start to a beautiful friendship

cauliflower
i couldn't agree more
