Red pov:

My future self froze after yelling at me to leave her alone. After a moment, shock.

Future Red: What the hell?

Red: hi....

Future Red: What are you some kind of freaky clone?

Red: No, I'm just the past you.

Future Red: we time traveled again?

Red: Well... I kinda went alone and left Chloe back in the past.

Future Red: Why didn't you bring her? 

Red: I wanted to go alone... I wanted to know if I could ever truly trust her.

Future: Well, you shouldn't. Everything was so good until she had to go kiss another girl. I don't even know.

Red: I saw....

Future Red: If you saw you, you should also be mad at her. Why aren't you mad like I am?

Red: because I stayed and watched.. unlike you, who just ran like a sore loser.

I realized how strange it was being mean to myself.

Future Red: What do you mean? What happened?

Red: If you had stayed for 30 seconds longer, you would have learned that girl is her cousin... not just some random girl.

Future Red: You're serious?

Red: Why would I be lying right now? I'm literally on your team. I'm literally you.

Future Red: ok, I see how I sound kinda dumb right now..... I kinda did something....

She looks at me with an uncomfortable, guilty look on her face.

Red: What did you do?

Future Red: Please don't get mad...

Red: Tell me what you did now.

Future Red: I broke up with her over text before you got here.

Her hands are in front of her if she's trying to block me. Her eyes close in fear.

Red: You did WHAT?

She got up and started running.

Red: Hey, get back here. I'm not done with you.

I chased her. Thankfully, I'm her, so I was able to sorts catch up to her.

She ended up running in the halls.

Red: You can't keep running from your problems, ya know?

She kinda chuckled as she's still running

Future Red: You sound just like Chloe.

I laugh right back.

Uma: No running in the halls.

We both froze, turning around.

Uma: What is going on here? And why are there 2 of you?

Red: I- uh.

Future Red: Well- umm.

Uma: ok, I see now. Which one time traveled?

My future self points at me. I roll my eyes.

Uma: So is anyone gonna tell me what's going on here or?....

Red: Well, she keeps running away from her problems like an idiot.

Uma laughs.

Uma: Well, isn't that just the funniest thing I heard you say.
