hey seavey, it's melanie from school.
we need to talk about this project

SEAVEY
well, well, well...
if it isn't the mother of my child

Me
don't call me that.

SEAVEY
how about baby mama?

Me
NO
cut the crap
we need to figure out how we're going to get though these 2 weeks

SEAVEY
first, i'd like an apology.
and so would lemon head.

Me
excuse me??
who tf is lemon head?

SEAVEY
pshh, some mom u are
picture incoming...

Ben sends me a picture of the baby. It looks very fucking ugly. And what is it even wearing?!

Me
OH MY GOD
WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WEARING

SEAVEY
it's not an IT, it's a SHE
and she's wearing my dogs halloween costume from a few years ago
can't exactly have her walking around naked, can we?

Me
so u dressed her like A FUCKING TACO?

SEAVEY
hey! i'm doing the best i can. it isn't easy being a single parent.
which brings me back to my original point
u owe me AND lemon head an apology.

Me
FOR WHAT

SEAVEY
i had to take care of her all by myself today
never took u for the absentee type, mel

Me
i had no idea this project was starting today!
and for it information, i have a stomach bug
and talking to you certainly isn't helping!

SEAVEY
ouch that hurt. so mean.
u should try being nicer
ur not making a good impression on lemon head

Me
WOULD U STOP CALLING IT LEMON HEAD?

SEAVEY
why?
you've seen the pic
her head looks remarkably like a lemon

Me
stop. Donaldson needs to know we're taking this seriously!
i can't afford a bad grade

SEAVEY
what's a bad grade to u again?
a 99?

Me
ignoring that.
meet me tomorrow at starbucks at 7am
bring the project outline. we need to get a schedule figured out.

SEAVEY
is that all we are to u?
a schedule?

Me
CAN IT, SEAVEY

I turn off my phone and roll my eyes.

This is gonna be hell of a project.
