Skye
Why did you bring Caleb up?
Skye
You just mentioned him. Why now?
Scott
What are you talking about?
Skye
Don’t mess with me, Scott. I’m serious.
Skye
What kind of messed up game are the two of you are playing?
Scott
Skye, I have no idea what you are talking about.
She doesn’t know whether to believe him.
Scott
Skye. Come on, tell me what is going on.
Scott
What does Caleb have to do with any of this?
Skye doesn’t know what to do.
She needs help, so she texts her best friend Millie.
Skye
SOS! You are not going to believe this—
Skye
Somehow I wound up sexting with both Scott AND Caleb.
Skye
And yes, they’re roommates again.
Skye
It’s a long story. Will explain later. But I have no idea what I’m doing — or if they know about each other.
Skye
I mean, are they just being assholes?
Skye
Help! Why aren’t you texting me back?!
Skye
Hurry. Guy emergency here.
A couple of minutes pass and there’s still no response from Millie.
Scott, on the other hand, hasn’t given up.
Scott
Okay, talk about messed up. We’re having a conversation, and you just disappear.
Scott
Skye. Tell me what’s going on.
Skye debates whether to respond.
Skye
You really don’t know about Caleb?
Scott
I know he’s my roommate.
Skye
You know what I mean.
Scott
No, I don’t. That’s the point.
Skye
Okay, fine. I meant to text you earlier, but I accidentally wound up texting him.
Skye
You’re seriously telling me you didn’t know anything about this?
Scott
No. But that means you were thinking about me too, doesn’t it?
Scott
I guess it’s true what they say. Great minds think alike.
Skye
I mean, that Caleb and I got to talking. And…
Skye
He told me he used to have feelings for me.
Skye
And he asked me out.
Scott
That little shit. What did you say?
Skye
That I’d think about it.
Scott
How could you do that to me?
Skye
*You* never got in touch with me. I don’t owe you anything.
Scott
Okay, you’re right. I’m just pissed—
Scott
But not at you. At him. And at myself.
Scott
Do you know he’s the reason I didn’t get in touch with you in the first place?
Scott
Did he also tell you he hates me?
Skye
He didn’t go into detail, but he mentioned you’re not really friends anymore.
Scott
Understatement of the year. Skye, you can’t listen to a thing that guy tells you—
Scott
He’s full of it. He’ll say anything to get back at me.
Scott
It’s stupid. His girlfriend hit on me, and he blames me for it.
Scott
It’s not like it was my fault. Now I guess he’s getting his revenge.
Skye
He doesn’t seem like that type of guy.
Scott
Trust me. You don’t know him the way I do.
Scott
He’ll do anything to get back at me. Even if it means using you.
Skye
Why did you even tell him about us at the reunion if you hate him so much?
Scott
I still live with the guy, and I was kind of in a daze when I got back—
Scott
I hadn’t expected to feel what I felt for you.
Scott
When I saw him sitting in the living room, it just came out.
Skye
How much did you tell him?
Scott
I said that I had been a fool to ever let you go.
Scott
Yes. Skye, I don’t know what he told you…
Scott
But I was planning on seeing you right away.
Scott
Yeah, because Caleb made me doubt myself. He reminded me how much I hurt you.
Scott
He said I should make sure I knew what I really wanted first, to take some time and think.
Scott
I thought, wow, he’s actually giving me some decent advice—
Scott
I didn’t know he was trying to sabotage me and steal my girl.
Skye
But I’m not your girl.
Scott
Maybe you would have been if I hadn’t listened to Caleb. Now he’s the one asking you out.
Skye
That was a fluke. I texted him first. He didn’t reach out.
Scott
Big deal. He probably would have if he had your number, just to stick it to me.
Scott
You’re not going to go out with him, are you?
Scott
Skye, don’t let some mistake screw us up. You wanted to text me.
Skye
I know, but it’s all so confusing.
Scott
It’s really not. You tried to reach out to me in the first place.
Scott
We should be together—
Scott
Remember how good we were?
Skye
I remember the bad stuff too. You hurt me.
Scott
And I’m sorry for that. But don’t just go out with Caleb to hurt me back.
Scott
I’d hate seeing you with him.
Scott
What kind of guy would do that to his roommate?
Scott
Skye, promise me you won’t talk to him again. It’s like a knife in the back.
Scott
Think about how you’d feel if I went out with one of your friends—
Scott
Or worse, one of your enemies.
Scott
I wouldn’t do that to you. Please, don’t do it to me.
Skye knows he has a point.
She’d hate it if Scott dated someone she knew.
Scott
Let’s meet. Talk this out in person. Can I come over tonight?
Skye knows seeing him in person is dangerous.
She can never control herself around him.
Skye takes a deep breath.
Skye
I’ll think about it.
