Skype: Group Chat without Romeo

Monday 4:28 PM

Okay so what's the plan?

What plan?

Why are we making plans?

Oh god, Ivy, what did they do and who did you kill?

Clearly she hasn't killed anyone yet. That's what she's planning.

It's not me, is it?

You're an idiot, Eric.

Sheesh, I didn't realize that you couldn't recognize what humor was.

I'm not killing anyone!

What plan is this, Ivy?

Romeo is going on a date with Rosie. We've got to do something.

Ivy, I think you're a bit overdramatic.

No he's not. He's got a thing for Julie.

Not anymore he doesn't. On Friday he said that he was done going after me.

Whoa, it's not like him to give up.

Did anything happen since then that might prove that he doesn't like you anymore?

Er... He kept telling me that he didn't like me like that when we were babysitting his cousin on Sunday.

You babysitted his cousin... together?

Practicing for when your married?

Shut up, Eric!

Ten bucks says she's blushing.

Another ten says she wants it to happen.

I'm leaving.

Okay wait, Julie. We're done ganging up on you. Anything else happen?

Er... We almost kissed.

ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME?

Twice...

That's it. I'm going to go over to his house and kick his ass until he mans up and admits to you that he likes you.

Anthony, don't do that.

Too late. I'm almost out the door.

We didn't though! Because he doesn't like me like that anymore.

But you like him like that.

I mean... I'm not trying to.

Just say it.

Fine! I like Romeo Cameron!

Screenshotted and... Sent! There that should solve all of this drama.

ANTHONY!

What? I was kidding. He wouldn't believe me anyway. Seriously though just tell him. It's getting exhausting watching you two chase after each other.

Honestly I'm enjoying it. It's way more interesting than the television.

You're in a strange mood today, aren't you, Mark?

I guess.

I say we take a note from the television and do a usual sit-com plot. Spy on their date and try and break them up.

I don't think Romeo needs any help trying to ruin a date.

Ivy, that is manipulative and rude and I won't allow it.

Have you met me?

I say Julie should just kiss him already. Forget about the repercussions and just kiss him.

I agree.

I'm not going to do that! I can't.

For duck's sake! Why not?

I'm not that brave.

Can we at least spy on his date? Without interfering.

...Yes.

I think you two are spending way too much time together.
