summergirl98: HA told you it'd only take a month or so, they're broken up and Gareth is up for grabs again!!
lilybug: I just think it's hilarious they broke up on April Fools; maybe a prank went too far
summergirl98: April Fool's Prank or not, I'M COMING FOR HIM
lilybug: quite literally too, aren't you?
summergirl98: yes I've finally heard back from Marcus and he's planned the whole visit!!
lilybug: lucky girl
summergirl98: I'd thank the school for being the most effective in stretching holidays; that's one of the few good things to have come out of there

Subject: LONDON.... and other stuff
Hey,
Have a safe flight today!! Don't snore too loudly on the plane and make sure you get through the last few seasons of Downton! Lots to discuss. ALSO: your little (if scattered) itinerary seems pretty fine; though I don't see why you would want to wait outside Nandos at 12.pm for 2 hours, why not just go in and eat? Plus what's with this obsession for indie bands? You're not seriously expecting me to inquire at every pub in London just because you couldn't find 'The Record Lows' on Twitter.
love,
M

I am absolutely insistent that you do as I say!!! It is my holiday after all. The point about Nandos does seem logical though.

summergirl98: In a cab, on my way to my brother's apartment in Barbican
luckyguy96: wait so you're really in London?
summergirl98: Yes...
luckyguy96: Because I'm actually near Barbican station right now
summergirl98: holy shit shut up
luckyguy98: holy shit is that you? In that cab?
summergirl98: OMG IS THAT YOU, THE ONE ON YOUR PHONE WITH BLACK BERMS? WAVE IF IT'S YOU
luckyguy96: hahahahaha
summergirl98: WAIT YOU DIDN'T WAVE
luckyguy96: HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
