HamMan: Hey Laurens, it's Alex. Am I doing this texting thing right?
Freckles: yeah if you need anything just ask me
HamMan: I'm sorry about last night. That was really uncool of me to ruin your night.
Freckles: its okay man. Do you care to tell me what happened
HamMan: I just remembered something from long ago. It was nothing.
Freckles: why is your nickname HamMan
HamMan: My nickname is 'HamMan' because my last name is 'Hamilton.'
Freckles: oh! That makes sense
HamMan: Do you not like to use proper punctuation, spelling and grammar?
Freckles: i dont use it because its just a waste of time and sometimes i dont actually understand how it
HamMan: I'll be back, I need to use the restroom.
Freckles: ok ill be waiting for you
Alex got up and headed into his bathroom. He didn't hear Hercules sneak into his room and use his phone. When Alex got back there was a new message from Laurens. And himself?
HamMan: You're really cute. I think I like you!
Freckles: ??? what has gotten into you
HamMan: Sorry! I think Hercules typed that while I was gone. Sorry again!
Freckles: there totally crZ!
HamMan: *Their
Freckles: #GrammarNazi
HamMan: Sorry. I'll try not to do it again.
Freckles: im just fooling around no need 2 say srry
HamMan: Okay, how long have you know Hercules, Aaron and the others?
Freckles: since elementary school HBU
HamMan: What does 'HBU' mean?
Freckles: how bout you
HamMan: I have known them since Thursday, so about 3 days.
Freckles: OK cool tell Herc that hes weird
HamMan: Why can't you? And why?
Freckles: bc i dont feel like it and he obviously thinks we are dating
HamMan: I wouldn't mind that.
Alex paused, did he actually just send that?
Freckles: wait what????!!!!!
HamMan: Ignore that, I had a typo.
Freckles: Are you sure
HamMan: Yes! I think there is something wrong with this phone.
Freckles: OK but i dont blame you if you do like me i mean im fairly attractive
HamMan: Don't make me laugh!
Freckles: ill have you know that a lot of guys want to date me at the moment
HamMan: What about the ladies?
Freckles: i dont pay attention to them i like guys
HamMan I like both.
Freckles: cool i think that only Aaron, Angelica and Eliza are straight so theyre still in the minority
HamMan: Okay, good, I was afraid nobody would accept me .
Freckles: dont be crZ no matter what we will always be your friends. Unless if you maybe kill sum1 or kill a turtle
HamMan: That's good to know. Thank you, John.
Freckles: ya np you ever been in a relationship before
HamMan: No, H.B.U?
Freckles: your learning! And i had a boyfriend in grade 9 but other than him no
HamMan: Oh wow! Grade 9? So just about a year ago, you are in grade 10 after Summer break, correct?
Freckles: yes will you be in grade 9 or grade 10
HamMan: Grade 10, I hope we go to the same school.
Freckles: George will probably put you with Herc, Laf, Angie, Eliza and i
HamMan: You are all in grade 10?
Freckles: no Lafayette, Hercules and Angelica are in grade 11 but we will all go to
HamMan: Where will the others go?
Freckles: Peggy and Aaron are still in middle school lol
HamMan: Well then I hope to be put in the same classes!
Freckles: ya me 2 that would be fun
HamMan: Can you send pictures on this?
Freckles: yes why
HamMan: Will you send me a picture of your turtle?
Freckles: thats right youve never seen a turtle before huh
Freckles: (insert picture of his turtle)
HamMan: It's really cute! No wonder you like them.
Freckles: IKR? I love them would you like one
HamMan: I'm sure that Martha would allow that.
Freckles: well if she does then tell me i would gladly give you one or maybe a few
HamMan: Going back to the subject of school, when does that start up?
Freckles: in 3 weeks i think
HamMan: Great! I cannot wait!
Freckles: dude school is horrible
HamMan: Some people here have never gone to a proper school before. I would love to go to a school where the classes are seperate, where the school has a supported roof, where the teachers are nice and not abusive!
Freckles: im sorry I did not realize you were in
HamMan: It is okay. I should be the sorry one, I took it out on you and that is not fair.
Freckles: well just make sure you dont tell people other than the group and i that you like girls as well as guys.
HamMan: Why not?
Freckles: when i came out i was bullied for years and i still am and so i dont want that to happen to you too
HamMan: Thank you for your concern. I will make sure to follow your advice.
Freckles: glad to be of service i am going to bed now
HamMan: Goodnight, Laurens.
Freckles: night
Now that Laurens mentioned it, it was growing late. Texting with that handsome man passed time for Alex, and he was sad to see it go, but he too was tired and needed rest.
Alex changed into polkadotted pyjamas Angelica had picked out. He crawled into bed and clicked off the lamp. In three weeks he would be going to school!
