JAN 23

Isaiah:
how's the fending off guys going

Mia:
Not very well
There's this guy who won't stop texting me

Isaiah:
lol do you text back

Mia:
I try not to

Isaiah:
but you can't help it right
i'm telling you
it's the charm

Mia:
As charming as a predator is to its next prey

Isaiah:
so you admit i'm charming

Mia:
I admit you're too annoying to ignore

Isaiah:
lol i'll take it
if it keeps you texting me

Mia:
You wanna be friends with me that bad?

Isaiah:
not sure
maybe it's because you're so weird

Mia:
How am I weird?

Isaiah:
like you give off this nonchalant vibe in your texts
and i just can't help but imagine your dead serious face while texting and it cracks me tf up

Mia:
I have been told I have a dry humor

Isaiah:
you should try wetting it sometimes

Mia:
It's honestly impressive how you can manage to make anything sexual

Isaiah:
lol i'm just witty like that

Mia:
How was your game last week?

Isaiah:
same old same old

Mia:
I heard it almost turned into a fist fight

Isaiah:
keeping tabs on me?

Mia:
My dad and brother were talking about it this morning and comparing strategies for their upcoming game this week

Isaiah:
ah

Mia:
What happened?

Isaiah:
oh you know the usual trash talking on ice but this time it hit too close to home with one of my teammates and he blew up
we managed to calm him down a bit then i just went for the offense so all their attention was on me
and it worked

Mia:
Do you find it hard to keep your cool?

Isaiah:
fuck yeah
i do lose control sometimes but i try not to let it get to me or else i won't be able to focus on the game
have you ever lost control?

Mia:
Yeah, mostly when my brothers piss me off
I have 3 brothers and 1 sister
The 2 oldest (Malcolm and Malorie) are away for college so I'm left with a rightly childish younger brother and a pettily grumpy older brother

Isaiah:
lol what
pettily grumpy?

Mia:
Yes

Isaiah:
i'm guessing that's the goon?

Mia:
Mitchell, yes
Matty's chill as long as you don't mess with him while he's playing video games

Isaiah:
can't say i'm surprised
never seen the dude smile

Mia:
He smiles
He just doesn't do it often
What about your brother?

Isaiah:
he's chill too
reads a lot

Mia:
Do you read?

Isaiah:
i used to
too busy these days
do you?

Mia:
No, not anymore
Now I prefer to watch or listen to something while I'm painting

Isaiah:
what do you paint

Mia:
Depends on my mood
Landscapes, animals, sometimes abstract

Isaiah:
do you paint people

Mia:
Rarely

Isaiah:
can you paint me

Mia:
Haha no

Isaiah:
why not

Mia:
I don't want to

Isaiah:
did you paint blondie

Mia:
Who?

Isaiah:
your ex

Mia:
That's what you call Cam?
And no, I never painted him

Isaiah:
what else should i call him
wuss?

Mia:
He's not a wuss

Isaiah:
he is on ice
he lets your brother do all the work

Mia:
He does not

Isaiah:
yeah he does
watch when blondie gets pressured even the slightest way he'll look to your brother and eye him until the goon comes to the rescue
every time

Mia:
That's called teamwork

Isaiah:
that's called being lazy
instead of figuring out what to do and what the next play is, he lets his team think and act for him
watch their next game and see for yourself
so much for being captain

Mia:
And if you're wrong?

Isaiah:
i'm not

Mia:
But if you are?

Isaiah:
wanna bet on it?

Mia:
Lay out the terms

Isaiah:
if i win you paint me

Mia:
That's too much work
How about a sketch?

Isaiah:
sure

Mia:
And if I win...

Isaiah:
what

Mia:
If I win, consider your debt fully paid

Isaiah:
deal

Mia:
Wow, I thought you'll protest

Isaiah:
no need
i'll win anyway

Mia:
We'll see about that

Isaiah:
lol you'll see on friday

Mia:
Prepare to lose

Isaiah:
you know there's one thing you gotta know about me and bets

Mia:
What is it?

Isaiah:
i always win
