JAN 13

Isaiah:
i saw some sticks today
i remembered you

Mia:
Did you play with them?
I know how much you like sticks

Isaiah:
no but i sucked on a couple

Mia:
Ew, what?
I didn't know you love sticks that much

Isaiah:
lol chill
it's just chopsticks

Mia:
That's a relief
For a moment, I thought you're one of those people who has a weird kink

Isaiah:
if you think that's weird you surely haven't met greg

Mia:
Who's Greg?

Isaiah:
a friend of mine who's into the weirdest shit imaginable

Mia:
I don't even wanna know

Isaiah:
yeah wish i didn't too
don't worry
i'm adventurous but no odd fetish here

Mia:
I'm not worried
It's not like I'll sleep with you anytime soon
Or ever

Isaiah:
hey you never know

Mia:
You're not my type

Isaiah:
yeah you're not into hockey players
how's your ex btw

Mia:
There's more to a person than just their sport, you know

Isaiah:
fair
but you can tell a lot about someone from their passion

Mia:
Is hockey your passion?

Isaiah:
yeah
but mostly i see it as my means of escape
if i do well enough it can be an escape for my mom and brother too

Mia:
How so?

Isaiah:
it can help us get out of our current situation
how about you
is painting your passion?

Mia:
Ah, you remembered

Isaiah:
i'm smart

Mia:
You claim to be a lot of things

Isaiah:
just stating facts

Mia:
I love painting
I have a passion for art
Any kind of art really
I just leaned towards painting because I like mixing colors until it becomes this expression of emotions
It can be an escape for me, too
But in a way that I leave reality for a few hours and be in my own little world, a world that I can somewhat control and just immerse in

Isaiah:
what is it about reality that you wanna escape from

Mia:
I grew up with 4 siblings
The house can get too much sometimes
It's nice to have a little alone time here and there

Isaiah:
ah i see
i only have a younger brother and he's pretty quiet
but my mom's side of the family is fucking huge so i get how it can get chaotic

Mia:
Is he the one you're eating with now?

Isaiah:
yeah
made some merienda for me and him

Mia:
What's merienda?

Isaiah:
it's what we call afternoon snack time in filipino

Mia:
Oh, that's interesting
We should have something like that here

Isaiah:
try it
it can be any snack

Mia:
Like PBJ?

Isaiah:
lol for sure
man i didn't know peanut butter and jelly was a thing until i was in grade school
my mom freaked when i came home and made it for the first time apparently it's not a common thing in the philippines where she grew up
but once she tried it she never looked back

Mia:
I can't live without it
It's my first love haha
There was a time when it's the only thing I would eat but then I tried broccoli and I found my second love

Isaiah:
yes thank you!!!
i love broccoli too
my brother hates it

Mia:
When I was a kid, I honestly thought I was eating tiny trees and I thought if I eat it enough I'll grow up to be big and strong like real trees haha

Isaiah:
lol that's cute
i love how my mom uses a shit ton of garlic with it

Mia:
SAME
I LOVE GARLIC

Isaiah:
lol wow never seen you this excited
and it's over garlic

Mia:
Some people underestimate the power of garlic
It's so good with everything and has so many benefits!

Isaiah:
you'll love filipino food then

Mia:
I had pancit and lumpia before
My mom's coworkers gave her some to take home

Isaiah:
have you tried adobo

Mia:
No, but I've heard of it

Isaiah:
i'll make you some

Mia:
Wow, you'll cook for me?
Wait, you can cook?

Isaiah:
yeah why not
i had to learn so me and my brother can eat more than just pop tarts when mom's at work

Mia:
Where's your dad?

Isaiah:
he passed away

Mia:
Oh, I'm sorry

Isaiah:
it was a long time ago
i barely remember it tbh

Mia:
You don't have to make adobo for me
I can't imagine how busy you are

Isaiah:
lol i didn't say i'll make it soon
maybe someday

Mia:
You make food for people you barely know?

Isaiah:
i just feel bad because you only ever had lumpia and pancit like bro that's only the tip of the iceberg

Mia:
Wow, your adobo better be able to bring me down to my knees

Isaiah:
i mean i can find other ways to bring you to your knees but i prefer to do it first
i'm a gentleman like that

Mia:
I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Isaiah:
but seriously
i'll be your type once you've tried my cooking

Mia:
Ah, so that's your real motive

Isaiah:
lol maybe

Mia:
What does it matter if you're not my type?
Does it hurt your ego?

Isaiah:
yeah little bit

Mia:
Oh my god hahaha
So what if you're not everyone's cup of tea? Most of the people at my school don't like you, remember?

Isaiah:
you honestly believe that if i ask out one of the girls at your school they'll say no?

Mia:

Isaiah:

Mia:

Isaiah:

Mia:
Lucky for me

Isaiah:

Mia:
Should I be honored?

Isaiah:

Mia:
It's rude to keep a lady waiting, you know

Isaiah:
