The rookie Groupchat

Tim Are You Jealous?

Tim Bradford:
Anyone else feel like this shift is dragging on forever?

Aaron Thorsen:
Yeah, it's like time's slowing down.

Celina Juarez:
Tell me about it. I could really use a coffee right now.

John Nolan:
I don't mind it. Gives me more time to learn.

Angela Lopez:
You're doing great, John. Keep it up.

Nyla Harper:
Speaking of learning, have you guys noticed how Miles is always... extra friendly?

Celina Juarez:
You mean how he calls Lucy "darling" all the time?

Angela Lopez:
Exactly. It's like his thing. He just tosses it around like it's no big deal.

Tim Bradford:
Yeah, well, not everyone needs to throw around nicknames like that.

Aaron Thorsen:
What's wrong, Tim? Are you getting territorial?

John Nolan:
Wait, doesn't he call everyone "darling"? It's just how he talks, right?

Nyla Harper:
Sure, but it's kind of funny how Tim reacts when it's Lucy he's talking to.

Tim Bradford:
I'm not reacting to anything. It's just... unnecessary.

Angela Lopez:
Unnecessary, huh? You sure about that, Tim?

Aaron Thorsen:
It's funny, Tim. You get all worked up when he calls Lucy that, but it's just a nickname.

Nyla Harper:
Oh, he definitely has a soft spot for Lucy. It's not hard to see.

Tim Bradford:
I don't have a soft spot for anyone.

Celina Juarez:
It's just a nickname, Tim. Why does it bother you so much?

John Nolan:
Yeah, Miles isn't trying to steal Lucy's attention or anything. He's just being... Miles.

Angela Lopez:
But honestly, it's pretty funny how quickly it gets to you. It's like you want to be the one calling her sweet things.

Tim Bradford:
I don't need to call her anything like that.

Aaron Thorsen:
Really? 'Cause it kind of seems like you do.

Nyla Harper:
If you were to call her something sweet, it'd be interesting to see how she reacts.

Tim Bradford:
I'm not going to start calling Lucy "darling."

Celina Juarez:
How about something else then? You could call her something.

Angela Lopez:
What would you call her, Tim? You seem to have an issue with "darling." You got something else in mind?

Tim Bradford:
I don't know. I'm not planning on nicknaming anyone.

Aaron Thorsen:
Mmhm, sure you're not. Just admit it, you're jealous of Miles calling Lucy "darling."

Nyla Harper:
It's cute how Tim tries to act like he doesn't care.

Angela Lopez:
You could at least pretend, Tim. Maybe call her "angel" or something. Not that hard.

Tim Bradford:
I'm fine. Really.

Aaron Thorsen:
Yeah, sure, Tim. You're totally fine with it. No jealousy here.

Nyla Harper:
We'll see. You don't have to admit it, Tim. But we all know.

Celina Juarez:
You could make your move, Tim. Just try calling her something sweet, and see what happens.

John Nolan:
I'm starting to think Tim's just waiting for the right moment to use it.

Tim Bradford:
I'm not waiting for anything.

Angela Lopez:
Alright, Tim. But we'll be here when you finally do.

Nyla Harper:
Just remember, the first one to call Lucy something sweet wins.
