iMESSAGE between UNKNOWN and IZZY

Hi, Isabelle! We haven't talked in a while, but I'd like to say hello.

Isabelle
Who are you?

UNKNOWN
Charlie Syton

Isabelle
Okay, hi!

Charlie
So Andrew told me about a musical that I thought you'd be interested in auditioning for.

Isabelle
Really? Ooh, what is it?

Charlie
Unfortunately, I can't say. But I passed the message on to Lin, and hopefully he'll tell me

Isabelle
Why can't you tell me?

Charlie
I feel like it'd be better if someone you loved told you the news.

Isabelle
Okay..

Charlie
By the way, I would LOVE to see you as Eliza one day! How's that gig been going?

Isabelle
I've only been Eliza twice..but it's so fun!

Charlie
From what Anthony told me, you were pretty good

Isabelle
You and Anthony were talking?

Charlie
We were texting, to be more precise

Isabelle

[ Isabelle has added Linnamon Roll to the conversation ]

Linnamon Roll
Hey kiddo, why did you add me in a groupchat with a stranger?

Isabelle
He's not a stranger. It's Charlie Syton

Linnamon Roll
Oh Hello. Big fan.

Charlie
Thanks , I'm honored.

Linnamon Roll
So, why am I in this chat?

Is it about the top secret project I've been working with Chris McCarrell on for two years?

Isabelle
WHAT

WHY ARE SO MANY SHOCKING THINGS BEING REVEALED TO ME IN THIS CHAT

Linnamon Roll
What other "shocking stuff" has been revealed?

Isabelle
Anthony is madly in love with me?!

Linnamon Roll
BAHAHAHAHA

You're kidding, right?

Charlie
Isabelle, did you forget what today is?

Isabelle
April 1, which means it is 5 days until my seventeenth birthday! *squeals*

Ohhhh...

It's April Fools Day

Charlie
Yeah... Anthony's not in love with you. I think he's more in love with Jasmine than he is with his hair.

Isabelle
You tricked me so bad

I was about to go fight Anthony

But was the top secret thing with Chris McCarrell a joke?

Linnamon Roll
