(These are private text messages)

Malissa: Dorian CALM DOWN

Dorian: I'm not doing anything

Malissa: First of all, I saw that whole talk with Brynn. You told her that you'd treat her right before accusing her of "slutting around with all of the other guys."

Dorian: I got worked up

Malissa: Then, you brought up her mother that she's never met.

Dorian: I was trying to catch her attention somehow so she'd listen to me.

Malissa: Afterwards, you threatened her with sharing a video that she has tried her best to hide to the world if she didn't tell you why she said no to you.

Dorian: All I wanted was an answer

Malissa: Then when she told you, you verbally attacked her boyfriend.

Dorian: He deserved it.

Malissa: Dorian open your eyes. Michael was always trying to be nice to you, but you're just upset that he's dating the girl that you have feelings for. Trust me I know how hard it is to watch the person you adore head over heels for someone else.

Dorian: No he never tried to talk to me.

Malissa: We both know that's a lie

Dorian: it is 😔

Malissa: then why tell that to the world? You should be happy for them

Dorian: BECAUSE IM JEALOUS OKAY

Malissa: I'm sorry I didn't mean to frustrate you

Dorian: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped 

Malissa: what aspect of it are you jealous about

Dorian: All of it. I know he's going to make it far into the competition, which was what I wanted. He's also literally dating my dream girl so that adds to it.

Dorian: the worst was when I still thought she was single, and I saw them all over each other. It made me think I didn't have a chance. Little did I know I didn't 

Malissa: I understand. It's hard to watch that 

Dorian: it completely sucked. They were just stuck in their own little world

Malissa: Exactly. It's like you want the person to notice you, but they're so transfixed on someone else

Dorian: and I thought I was being clever by asking her early smh

Malissa: I overheard (from walking past Michael's room when he was talking with Brynn) that it was her friend who convinced her to go out with Michael 

Dorian: GOD DAMMIT WHOEVER IT WAS

Malissa: oh shoot

Dorian: what?

Malissa: I just saw a pissed looking Michael and Devin coming down to your room

Dorian: WHAT!?!

Malissa: Yeah. They are literally fuming

Dorian: this will be the day I die

Dorian: I can promise you that

Malissa: don't get worked up when talking to them. Keep your composure 

Dorian: I'll try

Malissa: and take those tweet rants down they're stupid

Dorian: I WORKED HARD ON THOSE
