Arielle
I’ll give you a hint
Arielle
Blue polka dot blouse, three seats behind you, literally asked you for your number in geometry today
Arielle
cause I knew I’d inevitably forget what the homework questions were
Veronica
Oh Arielle! I should’ve known
Arielle
Correct on the first try! One shot wonder over here ;)
Veronica
Haha you’re too funny
Arielle
But I don’t think I could ever top Mr. Nardone’s daily wardrobe
Veronica
OMG his collection of ties!!
Arielle
That mustard yellow one is more mustard yellow than actual mustard
Veronica
He literally wears shower slippers to class
Arielle
I hear he used to show up in class in his bathrobe
Veronica
Really? That is actually insane
Arielle
So how was your day?
Veronica
It was OK I guess
Veronica
Got a B- on my chem midterm
Veronica
Mike Foisy kept staring at me in English
Arielle
He is literally the creepiest guy ever
Arielle
If we’re going to be honest, all boys are creepy
Arielle
Are you going to the dance next week?
Arielle
Yeah but I don’t have a date
Veronica
Don’t worry, neither do I. We can be dateless together
Arielle
I’m looking forward to it!
Arielle
Haha you know what’s funny?
Arielle
I was really nervous before asking for your number today
Veronica
Why? I don’t bite
Arielle
Idk. There’s just something about you
Veronica
Well I’m really glad I gave it to you
Veronica
You’re really fun to text
Veronica
Well thank you. Blushing through my phone screen right now
Arielle
Hahaha I’m honored I could make you do that
Veronica
My dad’s calling me for dinner so I better go
Arielle
I’ll see you in class tomorrow?
Veronica
But aren’t you forgetting something?
Veronica
Don’t you want the questions for the geometry homework?
Veronica
Hey I’m outside the dance right now, where are you?!
Veronica
Hurry up, I’m standing alone here in the corner looking like an idiot
Arielle
That’s impossible
Arielle
You looking like an idiot
Veronica
Oh shut up and just get here already!
Arielle
I’m pulling into the parking lot!
Arielle
Wow this place is packed
Veronica
You can’t see me?
Veronica
Look behind you, sunshine
Arielle
Is that you? In the periwrinkle dress?
Arielle
You look beautiful
Veronica
Well gee thanks!
Arielle
I don’t really know how to say this
Arielle
But I don’t think I can last another second keeping it inside
Arielle
I’m in love with you. I have been since the first day I laid eyes on you in Nardone’s class
Arielle
And every day since
Arielle
I know this is out of nowhere and you’ll probably never talk to me again but I just really wanted to let you know
Arielle
Veronica? You there?
Veronica
I’m in love with you too
Veronica
Well not since the first day of Nardone’s class. But I know I’ve never felt this way about anyone else
Veronica
There’s just one problem though
Veronica
They wouldn’t approve of this
Veronica
I have an aunt they disowned once she came out of the closet
Veronica
She lives in New York now but they don’t talk at all
Arielle
Well that doesn’t change the way I feel about you at all
Veronica
It doesn’t change the way I feel about you either
Arielle
I guess there’s just one solution
Arielle
We’ll just have to be secretly in love with each other
Arielle
Omg where have you been?! I’ve been texting and calling for days
Arielle
And where were you in school? I stopped by your house but all the lights were out
Veronica
My parents read all our texts and they know
Veronica
I’m texting you from my brother’s phone right now
Veronica
They pulled me out of school and they’re going to ship me to Eton
Arielle
The military academy in Vermont??
Arielle
We can’t let that happen
Veronica
I’ve basically been a prisoner in my own house
Arielle
We need to break you out
Arielle
Would your aunt in New York take us in do you think?
Veronica
She’d definitely be sympathetic
Arielle
Well I have a plan. Do you trust me?
Arielle
I need you to sneak out of your house tonight with a suitcase of your favorite clothes
Arielle
and meet me at the train station at 10:30
Veronica
Run away with you??
Veronica
What about your parents?
Arielle
You mean more to me than they ever will
Arielle
I’ll see you in a little bit babe. Remember 10:30 don’t be late
Arielle
Where are you?? The train’s about to leave in five minutes
Veronica
I had to wait until my parents fell asleep
Veronica
Running there now
Veronica
There’re headlights behind me right now
Veronica
Fuck fuck fuck fuck
Arielle
Can you throw him off?
Veronica
He got out of the car but I’m running through the bushes
Veronica
I’m on Lester and Main
Veronica
I’ll be there soon
Arielle
Please hurry Veronica
Arielle
The train’s about to leave
Veronica
I can hear his footsteps right behind me
Arielle
Just a little bit further babe
Arielle
C’mon you can do it
Veronica
I love you Arielle
Arielle
Please answer me babe
Veronica
Look behind you, sunshine
