Sol: What if my new year's resolution this year was to actually....maybe.... learn a sport? 👀

[karmeninka]

Karmen’s betrothed had been so good at planning dates this year that when it came time for her to plan a date for them for the picnic basket auction, she of course had to go all out with a feast of her favorite foods, books to read to DJ as they sat on a nice blanket, and a beautiful tandem bike as the piece de resistance. The lovely basket she’d made wasn’t the most exciting part of the day, nor was the planning and execution of her outfit and makeup that she felt particularly attractive in; it was the fact that when it came time for the bidding, DJ’s first bid on her basket actually gave her some butterflies, which was a very good sign for the progress they’d been making.

Then another bid came, almost comically high, and her basket was officially sold to someone else. And not just anyone else, but to Mister Carter La Bouff, the pen pal she’d been trying not to have feelings for so long now. She hated that her heart could simultaneously be disappointed not to get to spend the day with the fiancé she was genuinely feeling things for while also beating a mile a minute at the very idea of Carter. Adding to her confusion, DJ chose then to text and apologize for not bringing the admittedly inordinate amount of money that the La Bouffs brought to such events and to assure her that she should go and have a good time, that he’d buy another basket for charity and the two of them would still get their special Valentine’s Day tomorrow. DJ really was something special.

And he was right too, someone else had outbid him fair and square, and charity was what this event was about, and they would have their date tomorrow, and it was armed with all of those excuses that Karmen found her way to Carter, trying to calm herself enough to greet him. “Hello, Mister Carter! Fancy meeting you here. It’s really very nice to see you.” And it was. Despite being confusing, it was undeniably nice too.

Beau: Am I crazy or does homework and studying takes so much longer without a study buddy? 🤔 cause I've been up for hours trying to finish this ONE chapter and it's just not clicking! And also I keep dozing off every few seconds which isn't great cause the last time I fell asleep in the library, I woke up and my socks were missing. Not my shoes, mind you. Just my socks.

Romeo: This is random but any chance you'd wanna join the rowing team this year, bro? I like doing it because it makes my shoulders look crazy good but the other guys there are kind of boring except for DJ, I guess, but that's just one guy. Or I guess I could join swimming with you, would you say that's been good for your social life or nah?

TEXT 🤭 DANTER

Danny: How do you, as a cute boy, signal to OTHER cute boys that you're ready to go on fun dates and all that good stuff? I figured I'd ask you since clearly you're doing something right and I am not!

Hadie: Have you started reading the books I recommended you yet?! Because if you have, I totally want to know your opinion on Team John Ambrose versus Team Peter!

TEXT 🌙 CARTMAN

Karmen: Hi, Carter! I hope this text doesn't wake you up, because I would hate to be the reason you're not getting your full eight hours of sleep.

Karmen: I actually have a really good reason for texting! I started a new book earlier today that was *so good* that I stayed up reading it up until, well, NOW. And I know you love books as much as if not more than I do, and I know you've read the Game of Thrones series so you'd be the perfect person to gush over the first book about. I finally caved and gave it a shot and it was actually entirely immersive? If you're awake, I'd love to get your take on a few things, maybe!

Magnolia: Okay, but like, you're a guy! Tell me, why can't men just say what they mean for once? 😡 Every day I'm one day closer to deciding to be a cat lady... except I don't even like cats, so I'd have to pick some other animal! Life's not fair! Can you even picture me raising animals?!
