Anthony and Ivy

So you know what we have to do, right?

I'm guessing it has something to do with your best friend and my best friend and setting them up.

That's exactly it!

Okay, how do you suppose we do that?

Well locking them in a closet doesn't work...

Unless we make sure there's nobody around to open it for a couple hours!

YOU TRAPPED THEM IN A CLOSET?

Yeah?

You can't just do that, Ivy!

I said it didn't work.

We aren't going to do that again. Are we clear?

Yeah whatever Dr. Buzzkill. :P

Maybe we should just let them figure this out on their own. It'll probably happen eventually, right?

It's already taking way to dang long! First they hate each other, then they like each other, then they are clearly sappy-saps that love each other, then they're mad at each other, ugh! It just goes on and on!

Does it annoy you that badly?

Perhaps a little...

Why do you want them together anyway? Maybe they just aren't meant to be.

Nope, that's not it. Why Cameron and Julie should go out already:

1. They have way too much in common not to.
2. They like each other.
3. Double dating would be awesome.
4. The look on people's faces when they introduce themselves is hilarious. It would be even more hilarious and more frequent if their names were together. Like Romeo and Juliet Cameron.
5. The entire school knows and ships it.
6. I've got a bet going with Ross Wall about this. Actually a whole bunch of us have a bet going. It's great.

IVY! YOU CAN'T GAMBLE! YOU'RE SIXTEEN!

So?

It's kind of illegal!

Haha oops.

All you say is oops?

Yep!

Okay, then. Clearly you've got motivation to set them up. But you're no matchmaker. Should we discuss the closet incident again?

Are you kidding me? I'm Cupid!

Listen, Ives, I love you, but you're more like Satan.

...

What? I'm just teasing. You're not really Satan.

You love me?

Sh¡t I didn't mean to say that! Not that I don't. NOT THAT I DO EITHER. It's just a bit early to say that in out relationship, don't you think. I didn't freak you out did I?

I love you too, Anthony.

Is it okay that we just admitted that to each other for the first time over text.

We'll survive. :)

Now back on track.

Yes, we have two dense best friends who just need to stop ignoring their feelings.

How are we going to do this?

I... Have no idea.

Great.
