@archerdev1 Call me the dragon because I’m spitting fire. #rapskillz #spittingfire #spittingbars
Mac: Have you asked Kassidy out yet?
Me: I told you I did.
Mac: The rap doesn’t count.
Me: Why not?
Mac: Cause you’re no good.
Me: You sound like Ross.
Mac: Something we can agree on.
Me: I’m not sure she wants to date me.
Mac: She does.
Me: You think?
Mac: Yeah. She’s your shadow, dude.
Me: She’s at a new school, and I’m the only person she knows.
Mac: I see the way she looks at you, man. She’s into you.
…
Tiffany: What was with the attitude today?
Me: We’re not together anymore.
Tiffany: So? We can still be friends.
Me: No, we can’t. Not since you went after my brother.
Tiffany: Speaking of which, Ross totally won’t return my texts.
Me: Not my problem.
Tiffany: Is this about the new girl?
Me: No. This is about you.
Tiffany: ’Cause you seem like you’re into her.
Me: None of your business.
Tiffany: Then it’s none of your business who I date.
Me: Right. So, leave me alone.
Tiffany: Can you please just find out why Ross won’t return my texts?
Me: Same reason I’m not going to anymore. He doesn’t like you. Give it up.
Tiffany: Archer?
Tiffany: Archer?
…
Me: Man, I’m so pissed.
Mac: New girl turn you down?
Me: No. Tiffany just texted me about Ross.
Mac: Shameless.
Me: I told her to stop texting both of us. That we’re not interested.
Mac: You could give her my number. I’ll text her.
Me: Trust me. She’s not worth it.
Mac: I’ll be the judge of that.
Me: I’m never dating a girl like that again.
Mac: Hot?
Me: No. One who’s into Ross.
Mac: Good plan. Does that mean you’re finally going to ask out the new girl?
Me: Soon.
…
Ella: Having a party Friday night. Wanna come ?
Me: Can’t.
Ella: Why not? Hanging with what’s her face?
Me: Don’t know anyone with that name.
Ella: The new girl.
Me: Her name’s Kassidy.
Ella: Fine. Are you hanging with Kassidy?
Me: Nope. Just busy.
…
Me: What did you think about the first day?
Kassidy: Not bad.
Me: Better than Hamilton?
Kassidy: Different.
Me: Is that good?
Kassidy: Not sure yet.
Me: Anything I can do to help you be sure?
Kassidy: You can spit some more fire.
Me: Ha! It was impressive, right?
Kassidy: LOL
Me: You thought it was funny?
Kassidy: Wasn’t it supposed to be?
Me: Yep.
Me: Kassidy?
Kassidy: Sorry. Nancy Drew just walked in.
Me: Ah, now I get why you thought it was funny. You’re high.
Kassidy: Nancy’s my cat.
Me: You named your cat Nancy Drew?
Kassidy: Yep. They were my favorite books when I was younger.
Me: Clearly.
Kassidy: You don’t like them?
Me: Never read them
Kassidy: Not a reader?
Me: Nah, I’m more into movies.
Kassidy: Movies are cool, too.
Me: But not as cool as my rap, right?
Kassidy: Right. Oh, I gotta go. My mom’s calling me.
Me: Okay. See ya tomorrow.
Kassidy: Yep.
