Does everyone like Wicked as much as you though?

I haven’t met anyone, but I haven’t met a lot of people...

Do you like Wicked as much as me?

.ilyastrid:

Aw, Dionne will get over it. I bet she secretly likes Wicked.

Everyone likes Wicked!

ftsaaron :

Wait, who’s the third? Are you cross with me?

I was talking about your girlfriend. I’m not cross, I promise. I’m never cross with you.

ftsaaron :

‘Course Caroline doesn’t like me. She likes Gabe.

On second thoughts, maybe I should be hiding behind you for protection.

I don’t think I’m very good at protecting people.

Now three people are cross with you.

ftsaaron :

I think you might need to hide behind me for protection.

You’re being silly. Besides, remember when everyone on the internet thought Caroline liked you? Not everything you read online is true. Only some things. Anyway, Caroline would never hurt me.

ftsaaron :

Do you think Caroline and Gabe will see it that way?

I don’t know.

ftsaaron :

I’m always in trouble with Caroline, and Gabe can never be like 100% mad at me. And they know I’m telling the truth. Plus… you brought it up.

I didn’t mean anything by it!

ftsaaron :

I’m just teasing. Promise.

And duh they like each other. They just won’t admit it. It’s totally dumb.

Oh, okay.

You’re going to be in trouble when they read this.

ftsaaron :

Caroline’s always like, totally freakin’ mean to Gabe. Wow, you’re being so mean to me right now. I’m so offended.

... Are you, or is this just one of the times you’re teasing? Because if you’re for real offended then I’m really sorry. I was just playing.

And we know Care and Gabe like each other really. That’s what everyone says.

ftsaaron :

Did you just insult me? I can’t believe you just insulted me. College has changed you, Maine!

It sounded like something Caroline would say to Gabe, I just sort of went for it.

[ftsaaron-blog]

I can’t stop singing Defying freakin’ Gravity and my girlfriend is about to like, kill me. I totally need a blonde photographer from Maine to take the blame, so can she step the eff up?

[ilyastrid-blog]

I’m stepping down. It isn’t my fault your girlfriend can’t recognise a sensational Broadway hit when she hears one. I guess it didn’t sound too much like a sensational Broadway hit coming from you... oh, did that sound rude? I’ve been spending too much time with you and Gabe. Still, you’re not the best singer... anyway, I hope you’re not in too much trouble because of me!

I think they’re jokes! Some of them. Maybe all of them… Uhh, I’m not super sure. Oh! Is his girlfriend nice? I don’t know her either. I don’t have a boyfriend! Just a Kevin. No, wait. Not a Kevin. He’s not my- I know boys. I don’t have a boyfriend… Hehe, thank you! That’s super duper nice, oh my gosh! I don’t think that I am but you made me smile! If Aaron’s not your boyfriend, do you have one? Because I saw a picture of you on Caroline’s phone and I think you have the prettiest hair in the whole wide world!

Really? That’s really cool!!! I bet you look really pretty as Dorothy. Yes, I did! With my dad and my brother. I’m not from there but Caroline was my first ever friend there! And the best one ever. I was really bad at speaking French and she was super nice about it. Her accent is the best. Who’s Desmond? I bet he’s okay, though! I bet he just misses you.

You’re funny. And yes, she’s nice. She’s pretty. A Kevin? Do you want Kevin to be your boyfriend? Just because when I said boyfriend you said Kevin. I made the jump. I am happy I made you smile though. Oh, I don’t. I don’t think anyone would want to be my boyfriend. That’s nice but not true. Have you seen Caroline’s hair? It’s red.

It’s fun to dress up as her. Caroline is nice. She was one of my first friends here too. Other than Aaron. Gabe says she ‘took me under her wing’. Which is kind of silly. But I get what he means. Did she take you under her wing? Oh. Desmond is my step Dad. I hope Griffin hasn’t forgotten about me, though.

cassieoh :

YES!!!! LIKE CAROLINE AND GABE!! I don’t know what Gabe means but I think that he’s right this time! Gabe is really funny and confusing at the same time. I don’t think I know Aaron though! Is Aaron your boyfriend? Ummmm! Well, I think Tori probably knows way prettier and nicer girls to be her bridesmaid! But me too, I super hope so!

Yes!!! You can!! I love when people braid my hair! And The Wizard of Oz is a really cool movie and I love Dorothy’s slippers! Caroline is the best! I knew her in Paris when I lived there and my bother thinks she’s the best too, and my dad says it’s like having another daughter when she’s around! Caroline is really nice but she’s honest too! I bet you’re crazy talented. That’s sad… Do you get to see him loads and loads though?

I never understand Gabe’s jokes. If they are jokes... I can never tell. Aaron? No. He has a girlfriend, but it’s not me. Do you have a boyfriend? Sorry for all the questions again. You seem very nice and very pretty, like the kind of person who is someone’s bridesmaid and also has a boyfriend.

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie in the whole world. I dress up as Dorothy for every single Halloween. She’s my favorite. You lived in Paris? By yourself? Without any parents? That’s so exciting. Why did you live in Paris? Are you from there like Caroline? Her accent is really nice. And oh, not really. He lives with Desmond, and not with me. I miss him so much. I hope he’s alright, though.

cassieoh :

Um… oh. Um, okay! Well, no. They’re not dating and I didn’t spoil the surprise… But, see… You know when you just know that two people are, like, totally meant to be together? And that they’d make the best couple in the world if only they just opened their eyes! It’s like that!!! And if Tori did get married I don’t think I’d be bridesmaid, but I’ll keep you posted.

I’m confused. What does that mean? You mean sort of sister like Caroline, and Tori, and Sawyer? Because you can totally be my sort of sister too! All you have to do is let me braid your hair and watch movies together! I AM!!! Caroline talks about me? Really?! Are you the Astrid that takes photos? Because if you are Caroline says that you’re really talented and pretty and nice! You’re not stupid! You’re super duper smart. Caroline told me so. Ooh! Six, so he’s teen tiny!

Meant to be together? Like Caroline and Gabe? That’s what Gabe says when Aaron teases him. That they’re endgame and things like that. But I can’t tell if he’s being sarcastic or funny because he always laughs and pokes Aaron in the ribs and Aaron laughs. I’m not good with sarcasm and I’m not good with Gabe. But why wouldn’t you be Tori’s bridesmaid? Even so, I hope things work out for them.

I can? Really? That’s so nice. I think I’d really like that. Can I braid yours, too? You’re probably better than me. But still. And can we watch The Wizard of Oz? But yes. Caroline talks about you all the time. I hope that’s ok to say. I do... I think Caroline is just being nice though. They’re not very good. And yeah, Griffin is only little. I miss him a lot.
