Arch:
Heard you're on a date today

Nora:
What?! Who told you that?!

Arch:
Ansel

Nora:
Ansel told you? Why would he do that?

Arch:
I asked about you

Nora:
So it's confirmed that he knows about us?

Arch:
Well he kinda grilled me at school after you asked him to give the oreo rice to me 3 weeks ago sooo
🤷🏻‍♂️

Nora:
😱

Arch:
Lol don't worry I just told him we used to talk a lot I didn't tell him anything he doesn't need to know

Nora:
Thank you.

Arch:
So you're on a date?

Nora:
Maybe?

Arch:
Anyone I know?

Nora:
I don't think so. Why?

Arch:
Lol just curious

Nora:
I'm kidding. Looks like Ansel lied to you because I just attended the grand opening of my friend's coffee shop here at Tags. Haha

Arch:
Seriously?
Lol your brother really knows how to work me up
Are there many people there?

Nora:
Yeah, it's so crowded. Actually, I'm kinda glad I don't have to pretend to be texting someone. 😅

Arch:
You can always use me as a get away
No biggie
😎

Nora:
Aw, thanks! Such a hero. 😂

Arch:
You really don't know anyone else there?

Nora:
No.

Arch:
That's sad
Is there anything I can do?

Nora:
Nah, I'll survive. Thanks for the offer, though.

Arch:
Lol just tell me if you need any help escaping

Nora:
Yes, sir. 😂

Arch:
So how've you been?

Nora:
Same, same. You?

Arch:
Nothing new

Nora:
Still like pineapples on everything?

Arch:

Nora:

Arch:

Nora:
Well, it's only been a few weeks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Arch:
Huh thought it was longer

Nora:
It does feel longer, right? 🤔

Arch:
Feels like a lifetime
Any new book recommendations?

Nora:
Not really, I've just been rereading my favorite ones.

Arch:
Lol where you at

Nora:
Twin Lakes. 😂

Arch:
Aight aight
Wait you serious?
'Cause I'm getting out in a bit

Nora:
Wait... are YOU serious? 😳
It's way in the South pa, too far away from you.

Arch:
I don't mind

Nora:
But... what about getting distracted? I mean, you don't have time for anything else but your studies and basketball right now, diba?

Arch:
I changed my mind

Nora:
Just like that?

Arch:
Lol just like that

Nora:
What happens when your grades slip again? What happens when you don't get back the title? What happens when you lose focus again because of me?

Arch:
That won't happen

Nora:
How can you be sure?

Arch:
'Cause instead of being a distraction you're gonna be a rock that keeps me steady and grounded

Nora:
What?

Arch:
I realized that the reason I kept getting distracted these past months was 'cause I was trying so fucking hard not to get distracted by you
So I decided imma turn it around this time

Nora:
And you realized this when?

Arch:
Today when I heard that you were on a date and I just about lost my shit

Nora:
Because you were jealous?

Arch:
Yeah but mostly 'cause I missed you
Look this thing I have for you is inevitable
I'm done pretending I can stop it

Nora:
You're really going here?

Arch:
Yep

Nora:
But what about your focus?

Arch:
Lol don't worry about my grades or basketball

Nora:
You sound so sure.

Arch:
'Cause I am
I've been looking at it wrong
I lost focus because I can't stop thinking about you and about how I can lose you any minute
Knowing you're by my side won't get me distracted
It'll make me feel at ease

Nora:
I don't know, Arch...

Arch:
We can try and take it slow
I just wanna be your #1 fan cheering you on like you've been doing with me all this time
