Emma
Hi. Stop calling me princess.
Jeremy
It took you awhile to respond.
Emma
I'm a little busy atm.
Jeremy
Nothing is wrong. In fact - it's the opposite. Texting my favorite girl. :)
Emma
Oh, one of your side hoes?
Jeremy
If I'm not wrong, you're the only girl that I've been texting for the past couple of days...
Jeremy
So, side hoes aside, you're the only one left. ;)
Emma
How sweet. I think I just puked in my mouth a little.
Jeremy
Well, I guess that shows that I'm pretty good at making girls swoon.
Emma
Swoon? More like vomit.
Jeremy
Hahaha, aw come on don't be like that.
Jeremy
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Emma
Why are you suddenly interested in me?
Jeremy
Maybe because I'm mesmerized by your hazel eyes. ;)
Emma
You've been going through my photos?!
Jeremy
No, of course not!
Emma
Why are you straight-up lying right now?
Emma
It's clear that you couldn't help yourself from going through my phone!
Jeremy
Fine, I went through your photos but that's it. I promise.
Jeremy
I mean, come on, Emma. What do you expect, ffs?
Jeremy
I can't just keep on texting you without knowing how you look like.
Jeremy
Besides, how long did you expect me to keep myself away from looking at your photos?
Emma
That's private, Jeremy.
Emma
Why couldn't you respect that?
Emma
Why couldn't you respect me?
Jeremy
Is wanting to know what you look like wrong?
Emma
I just don't like it. Ok?
Emma
And I don't think that you have the right to go through my photos because I said no.
Emma
You should've listened, it's not even that hard.
Jeremy
You're beautiful. But why do you seem so insecure?
Emma
Omg, I'm not insecure. You don't even know what I feel.
Jeremy
Listen, you're beautiful, and I just want you to know that.
Emma
Like that's going to make me feel any better.
Jeremy
Come on, you have like ten photos of you.
Jeremy
Your library is mostly filled with photos of your homework.
Emma
Well, excuse me for being a nerd.
Jeremy
Nerd or not - you don't look like one. ;)
Jeremy
Actually, you look like a cheerleader kinda girl.
Emma
HAHA, that's absurd.
Jeremy
But still, why more photos of your homework than you? Or your friends?
Emma
I don't know, Jeremy. Stop asking me.
Emma
You know what, Jeremy?
Emma
All you've ever done is piss me off.
Emma
First - you obnoxiously stand in the middle of the hallway and blame me for bumping into you.
Emma
Then you accuse me of purposely swapping our phones. As if!
Emma
Then you use MY credit card to pay for your stupid date.
Emma
And now, you went through my phone, even though I explicitly asked you not to.
Emma
You have no damn respect!
Jeremy
Why are you even talking about your credit card? I paid it all back.
Jeremy
And FYI - I didn't go through your phone. Just a few photos.
Jeremy
Why are you being so sensitive about me looking at a few of your photos??
Emma
How many times do I have to tell you?!
Emma
I JUST DON'T LIKE IT.
Jeremy
BUT WHY DON'T YOU LIKE IT?
Jeremy
Fine, ignore my messages.
Jeremy
I know you're reading this.
Jeremy
I don't even know why I bother.
Emma stares at Jeremy's texts, wondering if she should say something, when:
Unknown #
Hey, do you still remember me?
Unknown #
Kate. We met a few days ago and we exchanged numbers.
Emma
Right...took you awhile to finally text me.
Kate
I thought you would call?
Kate
Because you know, we exchanged numbers. But it's ok.
Kate
I just want to ask you if you're free this weekend?
Kate
Maybe we can continue where we left off? ;)
Emma
Haha wow, you're straightforward.
Emma
But I like it when girls go after what they want :)
Emma
Well, I would be...but you see Kate - this is Jeremy's sister.
Emma
And I would like it if you stay from him. For your own sake.
Emma
I don't know how I'm supposed to say this.
Emma
It's kind of...personal.
Kate
Tell me. I think I deserve to know.
Emma
STD, you know, sexually transmitted disease?
Kate
No, I know what it means. Which one??!
Emma
Yeah, really - I'm not at liberty to tell you that much. You'll have to ask Jeremy about that yourself.
Emma
I'm just trying to make sure that you know the truth...before anything too serious happens. You know?
Emma
The only way for you to be safe is to stay away from him.
Emma
He's bad news. He's been with tons of girls.
Kate
Why are you telling me all of this?
Emma
I'm just helping you out.
Emma
Jeremy, my brother, is an asshole.
Emma
Don't waste your time with someone like him. Trust me.
Emma
I just saved you from serious heartbreak. And possibly an STD.
Kate
I don't know what to say. I'm just really shocked about this.
Emma
I'm glad I could save you.
Emma
I wasn't able to do so with the other girls. I hope you're worth it?
Kate
Omg, thank you. I would've actually gone out with him...and let things get serious.
Kate
He seems like such a sweet guy. Like the perfect package...
Kate
But now that you've told me the truth about him...I'm thankful I didn't get blind-sided.
Emma
No worries. We girls are supposed to help one another. :)
Jeremy
Look who's back, Ms. Sensitive.
Emma
Very funny, Jeremy. But wait until you hear something truly worth laughing about.
Jeremy
Do tell, princess.
Emma
So there was this girl who texted me. Or you, I should say. Not knowing it was me, of course.
Emma
Apparently, it's a girl named Kate.
Emma
She seemed pretty upset that you didn't call her after your last encounter with her a few days ago.
Emma
So, you know, being the 'nice' me, I helped her out.
Jeremy
Oh god, Emma. What did you do?
Emma
I told you. I helped her out.
Jeremy
Tell me what you said! FFS!
Emma
Told her the truth. That you have an STD.
Jeremy
What were you thinking?!
Emma
Obviously, I wasn't thinking too much. But it was SO worth it.
Jeremy
If you're mad about me looking at your damn photos then fine!
Jeremy
But why the hell would you reply to any of my messages?!
Jeremy
And tell people that I have an STD??!!!
Emma
Exactly, Jeremy. That's exactly how I feel!
Emma
It doesn't feel good, does it?
Jeremy
So this is your way of getting back at me? Really low blow, Emma. Really low.
Emma
Oh come on! I'm pretty sure you have at least ten other girls just waiting for you to call them.
Jeremy
I can't believe this. I can't believe you.
Emma
This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't fight fire with fire.
Jeremy
You know what? Fine!
Jeremy
We're even. For now. But if you want to play games...
