Jeremy: here!

ScarJo: Who's that other number?

3rd Person P.O.V.

"Uhg." (Y/n) mumbled. "What?" Natalie asked her. (Y/n) was currently helping one of her best friends, Jenna, plan a corporate party. They were sitting in a cafe accompanied by Emily, Natalie, and (Y/n). "My phone keeps buzzing like crazy. Someone must either really be needing something or it's some stupid group chat." "Well aren't you going to answer?" Emily asked cocking her head, her bright blue eyes shining with curiosity. "No, we're working." (Y/n) said giving Emily a look. "Well, what do we want to do?" Jenna asked. "Well I think it should be a formal like party, I mean all of you are interviewers and it's your boss' birthday." Natalie suggested. "Ugh! I hate being the party planner. I don't know why everyone thought it was the best idea for me to plan the party." Jenna said exasperated, strands of her light brown hair falling into her face. "You do know your boss best. I mean your imaginary second job is being his assistant so it only makes sense that you're the one planning it." 

"I guess you're right. He's probably the best boss I've ever had. He's actually a decent person plus his girlfriend is super sweet." Jenna gushed. "You should have his girlfriend take him on a date! Tell him to dress up! Then she could bring him to the building and you all could surprise him!" Emily said excited. "That's... that's actually a great idea Em!" Jenna cried. All of a sudden (Y/n)'s phone started ringing. "Give me a moment to take this." She said as she stepped away from the table walking outside of the cafe quickly answering the call.

"Why should I call?" Tom asked with a pout. "Because kid, you drew the short straw." Robert said with a laugh. "But he could be busy." Tom said. "You'll never know unless you call plus you're the one who added the number." "Fine, but only because I have to." Tom said. He clicked on the one number that hadn't been really answering in the group chat . 

After three rings the phone picked up. "Uh, hello?" Tom said unsure. "(Y/l/n) speaking. Please make this quick. " (Y/n) said. She had stepped away from her friends for a moment. They had been planning a corporate party and (y/n)'s friend Jenna needed all the help she could get. "You're not someone I know." Tom said confused as he looked to Robert for help. "I'm afraid not. I think you got the wrong number. Have a good day." She said bluntly before hanging up. She then decided that while she was away she might as well check the large amount of texts she had been receiving.

Me: hello?

ScarJo: the mystery number speaks

Me: I think you guys have the
wrong number. 

Spider-kid: Yeah, we just called to check.
She's definitely not someone we know

Cut the check: Who messed up the number?

Cut the check: I'm betting it was Tom!

SS: I'm betting money on it too!

RDJ: I admit defeat! It was me not the kid!

Liz: Grandpa Downey, swooping in to save
his kid

Chris #1: who is it?

Paul B.: Confirmed, Downey is a mother hen.

Me: My name's (Y/n) and I'm a she
not an it

Liz: OOH! A GIRL! CAN WE KEEP HER!

Paul B: That's not how that works.

ScarJo: It would be nice to have another
girl around.

Liz: Who needs bird man? Welcome to the
group (Y/n)!

Chris #1: So we're just befriending a stranger?

Me: You guys do realize I could be some
serial killer or stalker and you're just
allowing me to be here?

Me: Didn't your parents ever tell you
not to talk to strangers?

Liz: But you're not a serial killer?

SS: and you're not a stalker, right?

Me: well, no...

Mark: She has a point! Stranger danger!

Me: At least someone is being reasonable

ScarJo: It's not like she knows who we are
or where we are, it couldn't hurt to make a
new friend?

Paul B.: New friend's are great

SS: Welcome to the group, new friend!

Me: How do I know all of you aren't 
serial killers?

Me: Also isn't it dangerous to just welcome
a stranger to be your friend.

Spider-kid: Aren't strangers just friends
you haven't met, yet?

ScarJo: ^^^

Liz: ^^^^^

SS: ^^^^^

Me: I guess it can't hurt?

RDJ: That's the spirit, kid

Me: I have to get going

Me: Also I'm not a kid

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

What have I just gotten myself into? Texting strangers, mom wouldn't approve of this. I walked back to the table. "Sorry about that. A bunch of random people added me to their group chat by accident." "At least someone was texting you." Emily said with a laugh. "They asked me to be their friend." (Y/n) said. "That totally doesn't seem creepy." Jenna said. "Aren't you the one always telling me to live out of my comfort zone and to live a little." (Y/n) said. "Yeah but..." "I'd rather text strangers than actually talk to them. Plus it's safer and I can leave whenever I want. Plus you're the ones who are always telling me I should get more friends." (Y/n) said.

"I think it'll be good for her." Emliy said. Natalie nodded her head agreeing. "Yeah, (Y/n) isn't a rash person. I think this may help her break out of her shell." "I think all of you are reading a little too much into this. 1) They're strangers I may never meet and 2) it's just some harmless texts with a bunch of random numbers." Emily smiled. "I don't think it's bad. I met Matt online and now look at us. We've been dating for five years. I've made a lot of friends through the internet so I think it's fine. And if push comes to shove (Y/n) can always change her number." "We should probably get back to this, don't want my boss to get mad." Jenna said with a laugh. "Yeah, you're right."
