Tiffany: Jessiiiiiii

Jessica: What happened to you? You weren’t online yesterday.

Tiffany: I was sick. I still am, actually

Jessica: Go to sleep. You need your rest.

Tiffany: I’ve had enough rest

Jessica: You’re still sick.

Jessica: Go. To. Sleep.

Tiffany: You’re not my mother

Jessica: I’m your friend.

Tiffany: Yeah, an online friend. Telling me what to do. Great.

Jessica: What are you trying to say?

Jessica: I thought I was more than an online friend.

Tiffany: I’m saying I don’t need you telling me what to do. I’m an adult.

Jessica: An adult behaving like a child.

Tiffany: A child? What? Is that how you think of me?

Jessica: Ugh. You’re clearly not in a good mood. Get some sleep. We can talk next time.

Tiffany: This has nothing to do with my mood.

Jessica: Great. So you want to argue with me?

Tiffany: Don’t tell me what to do. I’m sick and tired of people telling me what to do and I don’t need you adding to my frustration.

Jessica: So I’m adding to your frustration now? If this is what I get for caring, I’m done with people like you.

Tiffany: Wtf?

Tiffany: You’re done with me? Fine.

Jessica has logged out.

Tiffany could only bury her face in her hands in frustration.

Tiffany: Hey, I’m sorry

Tiffany: Are you there?

Tiffany: I can see you’re online, Jessica

Tiffany: Please reply me

Tiffany: I’m sorry

Tiffany: Jessicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

///

Tiffany: How long are you going to ignore me? It’s been days

Tiffany: I’m sorry for what I did, okay?

Tiffany: I didn’t mean those words. I took my anger out on you. I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry

Tiffany: It’s just

Tiffany: I had a lot on my mind these days

Tiffany: Drop me a reply soon, okay?

///

Tiffany: I’m so dumb, Jessi.

Tiffany: Life is horrible without you.

Tiffany: You’re more than an online friend to me.

Tiffany: It’s just

Tiffany: When people are angry, they say things they don’t mean.

Tiffany: I guess it was like that for me.

Tiffany: I don’t want this friendship to disappear.

Tiffany: I really like you and I still want to be friends.

Tiffany: If you would reply, you’d probably say something like “you’re using full stops, are you okay”, right?

Tiffany: Would you please drop me a reply soon? I know you’re receiving this and the fact that you’re not replying means you’re still upset and I wish I knew you in real life because if I did, I could, I don’t know, stop you from leaving and I could apologize to you and we could talk face to face.

Tiffany: I’m sorry.

Tiffany: I miss you, Jessi.

///

Tiffany: Jessica?

Jessica: What?

Tiffany: OMG YOU REPLIED FINALLY

Tiffany: Did you see my messages?

Jessica: I did.

Tiffany: I’m sorry, Jessica. I really am

Jessica: Care to tell me what happened?

Tiffany: I was sick. And my dad is forcing me to get a degree in engineering and marry some guy

Jessica: I thought arranged marriages didn’t exist anymore.

Tiffany: It’s not an arranged marriage. It’s like a blind date, except my dad knows the guy

Jessica: Why don’t you go then? Maybe you’ll be interested in the guy.

Tiffany: I’m pretty sure I won’t be

Jessica: How do you know?

Tiffany: I already like someone else

Jessica: Oh.

Tiffany: Oh?

Jessica: Hey, I need to go. I have a thing going on.

Tiffany: A thing?

Jessica: Yeah, a thing.

Tiffany: Is it an event?

Jessica has logged out.

Tiffany: JESSICA

///

Tiffany: Hey, what was that ‘thing’ about?

Jessica: Hi.

Jessica: Just some event.

Tiffany: What was it about?

Jessica: Nothing. It was boring.

Jessica: Anyway, how are things between you and your father?

Tiffany: Peachy. He allowed me to get a degree of my liking but he insists I meet the stupid guy

Tiffany: Is the ‘thing’ important?

Jessica: No, it isn’t.

Jessica: And you should just go.

Tiffany: I told you. I like someone else

Jessica: Just go meet the guy and tell your dad you don’t like him.

Tiffany: That’s so tedious. And unnecessary

Jessica: Well, your dad might nag at you.

Tiffany: He is nagging at me. Think of a way to help me escape

Jessica: I’m just an online friend. I can’t tell you what to do.

Tiffany: Ugh Jessica

Tiffany: I said I was sorry

Tiffany: I AM SORRY. OKAY. IT’S ALL MY FAULT. CAN WE NOT DWELL ON THIS?????

Jessica: It was a joke.

Tiffany: Really?

Jessica: Yeah.

Tiffany: I can’t tell

Jessica: Of course you can’t. You don’t know me that well because I’m just some online friend, right?

Tiffany: UGH JESSICA

Jessica: Joking.

Jessica: Just go, Tiffany. It’s not that hard.

Tiffany: Okay, fine. I’ll go. If he’s boring, I’ll kill you

Jessica: Why? It’s not my fault????

Tiffany: You told me to go, so it’ll be your fault

Jessica: That’s extremely unreasonable.

Tiffany: Yup. See, you know me so well ;)

Jessica: I am resisting the urge to roll my eyes.

Tiffany: I know. People look derp when they roll their eyes, you know

Jessica: I am NOT derp.

Tiffany: Yeah, and your name’s not Jessica and we’re not on Earth

Jessica: I hate you.

Tiffany: Oh, you love me

Jessica: I’m going to ignore you tomorrow.

Tiffany: NO WAIT JESSICA DON’T I’M SORRY

Tiffany: JESSICAAAAAAAAA
