Hey, sorry I ran off, did you two talk?
Kinda.
???
People came out and started seeing us.
We left, didn't want the a tent ton.
We talked a bit on the train.
I wouldn't mind being in a tent with you.
*Attention.
XD shush
I'd be okay with that too.
Um...are you mad at me?
For?
You know
The kiss.
My brain's just really tired.
Go rest. Tell your parents about the project when you get home.
Can't wait.
Videl's head bopped. "That was okay," leading him to sigh in relief.
"You should've asked her what they talked about," Dinedyi interjected, scrolling down.

Morning, Merry Christmas Eve. Got plans?
"Wait, she didn't respond?"
"Sometimes she forgets."
"Oh wait, she did respond. Why didn't you text her back?"
"It was like eleven in the night."
Happy Christmas Eve.
Sorry, I forgot to press send.

Merry Christmas, pelliroja!
Merry Christmas <3
Gonna do something fun?
Got any gifts?
No >:| They don't believe me.
Dinedyi leaned over to his face. "You tweet twice to make sure she gets back to you. Clever."
"Huh? I was just curious."
"Oh Silas, you're so naive," rubbing his head and tolerance for confusion as she continued.
Why didn't you show it to them?
I don't have it. Did I leave it at school?
Hold on.
He uploaded a picture of their project.
And another one with the camera turned and zoomed in on their names.
Go to Google Classroom and show her the grade.
Perfect, thanks, give me a minute.
About ten minutes later, a video came in. From afar, Camila had her laptop in her hand, showing her mother. The two of them began arguing and yelling at each other before Carlos came in.
"Wait, she's got three guys? Holy crap he's hot!"
Videl pinched D on the cheek. "That's clearly her dad, or uncle. Right?"
"Yeah."
"I mean if she hates her mom and wants a new one, I'm just saying a shovel to the head and a Bumble match later is all I need."
