SCOTT
Mitchgrassi: how do you feel about "Scomiche"
Beyoncehoying: Is that what they're calling us?
Mitchgrassi: Who?
Beyoncehoying: the three of them. Taylor, Kevin, and Avi.
Mitchgrassi: Well, what Avi called us.
He ships us? I only knew about Kevin. I wondered if Taylor did too.
Beyoncehoying: Kevin ships us too
Mitchgrassi: They're not the only ones.
I guess Taylor did too. I couldn't believe it.
Beyoncehoying: Taylor does too?
Mitchgrassi: Not that I know, yet.
I had no idea who else could. I literally had no other friends that weren't at school.
Beyoncehoying: Then who does?
Mitchgrassi: I do.
And then. I stopped breathing for a second. I had a crush on Mitch since the second day he texted me. I had never thought he liked me. I was incredibly happy. I took a deep breath after a few seconds, and started typing.
Beyoncehoying: Well, I guess Scomiche is real. I like you a lot, Mitch, and I have for a while.
Mitchgrassi: Omg, I'm not crying, you are.
And I started sobbing.
Beyoncehoying: You're right. I am, Mitch.
Mitchgrassi: Scoots, it means so much to have somebody like you in my life. Are we a thing?
Beyoncehoying: You mean boyfriends?
Mitchgrassi: yeah
Beyoncehoying: I guess so. Who should tell them?
Mitchgrassi: You should, but add me on the text.
Beyoncehoying: Okay.
Before I created the group, I closed my eyes. I couldn't believe I had my first boyfriend. And I really did like him a lot. I wasn't sure if I loved him yet, but it wouldn't be hard to. He was just so precious.
New group name:
I paused. I knew we all liked music, and we were a group of five. I remembered learning about the Pentatonic scale in choir last week, so I named us that.
New group name: Pentatonic
I realized that it wasn't really a cool name.
New group name: Pentatonix
Beyoncehoying: Two things. First, our name is based off of the five note Pentatonic scale, but with an x because it's cooler. Second, two of us in this chat have a boyfriend. Guess who.
Taylor_k: i swear, if it's Kevin and Avi hahaha
BassCannonKaplan: No, it's not lol
Mitchgrassi: I know who!!
Kolusola: OMG is scomiche real?
Beyoncehoying: yes
Mitchgrassi: We're together <3
Taylor_k: YESSSSS
I guess Taylor did ship us.
BassCannonKaplan: Told you he liked you, Mitch!
Wow, Avi told Mitch? I felt both betrayed and thankful.
Kolusola: I'm so happy.
Mitchgrassi: So are we. But you know what would make me happier?
I was worried.
Beyoncehoying: What, Mitchie?
Mitchgrassi: There's another couple that needs to get together on this chat.
I immediately knew who he was talking about.
Kolusola: Yeah, I agree.
Beyoncehoying: Definitely.
BassCannonKaplan: Okay.
Taylor_k: What?
I laughed. She was so clueless.
BassCannonKaplan: One second.
Kolusola: Good luck man!
Mitchgrassi: I hope y'all get together.
Taylor_k: Yeah, good luck with her!
Taylor_k: Wait, they're both on this chat??
Taylor_k: OMG
Taylor_k: I"M THE ONLY GIRL
Taylor_k: Avi...................
I hoped she didn't break his heart. He really liked her ever since they called. I could relate, not with Taylor but I fell in love with another beautiful queen.
KEVIN
After Avi left to go talk to Taylor, I was happy for him. I was happy for Scott and Mitch, and I really loved all of them. They were almost like family to me. Avi and Scott were my brothers, and Mitch and Taylor were my sisters. However, I couldn't help feeling left out. Tavi and Scomiche were going to be together, and I would just be there as the fifth wheel. I didn't want that. I wanted a girl to like me like Mitch liked Scott, and how Taylor would hopefully like Avi. I didn't want to talk to Avi, because he was busy confessing his love to his crush, so I texted Scott.
Kolusola: Hey dude, am i a fifth wheel to scomiche and tavi because I definitely feel like one.
I didn't expect an immediate response, and I was right. I practiced cello for an hour, then went to sleep. I had slept in, and when I woke up, I saw no reply. Instead, I saw a tweet from my idol up on my screen.
A/N
So, I posted Kevin here too because his chapter was short. Sorry for waiting until today to post the next chapter, especially on a cliffhanger.
