i love play rehearsal

I’m pumped to be back on campus again, don’t get me wrong, but I’m already missing this super cutie from home so much!!!! I wish I could have taken him back here with me! On another note, is anybody else in my class having a super hard time getting used to calling themselves a soph when it feels like we just got done being known as freshies?!

Bran: Have you really watched them ALL already? That's so impressive! You're as smart as a honey bee!

Bran: And isn't it insanely creepy?! Some dude is wearing someone else's face and I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...

Chloe: AWWW, THANK YOU!! And of course!! I can't wave my theater geek flag proudly if I'm not thoroughly well-versed!!

Bran: So I decided to try watching a new musical just for fun and I think I might've found the creepiest thing I've ever watched???

Bran: Have you ever seen Repo! The Genetic Opera?

Yoyo: I'm not surprised! I can't imagine you having bad taste in literally anything, you're too cool for that 😊 And I've never put together a double feature night but that makes sense to me! I vote for Hairspray since I have no idea how someone would make a musical about hairspray and I'm intrigued, and then Moulin Rouge, maybe? I'm just basing my votes off of the titles tbh.

Yoyo: I'll have to wear that shirt the next time we go out then! 😎 that is if you don't mind being seen with an openly dorky dude on your arm. Let's go to the mall then! I love the mall, even if the only thing I usually buy from there is a Cinnabon lol. Thanks, Chloe 🧡 Has anyone ever told you that you're the coolest person ever? (You're really REALLY good at it! I'm going to need a face massage after talking to you because of all the smiling lol!)

Chloe: Hairspray definitely has a part in it but there's also more to it, too! It's super fun regardless though so I think it's a good pick! Nothing wrong with picking based off titles! You literally can't pick anything bad with me since these are all my suggestions anyway, so I'm happy letting you pick!!

Yoyo: If your taste in musicals is as good as your taste in guys, I value it more than Internet reviews on whether Hamilton was a masterpiece or not, so what WOULD rank above Hamilton for, say, a double-feature movie musical date night? For starters?

Yoyo: I have some of those kinds of shirts but like with binary code as a pattern instead of trees and stuff, so that would be an easy way to branch out! Where do people even go to shop for those though? At least HALF of your summer outfits? Yay, I'm excited! It's not easy BUT it's not impossible either, and the best way to start is just to dive in, at least in my experience. (Sklasjdfasj stooooop, that made me smile so hard my face hurts!)

Chloe: I meannnnn, I DO happen to think my taste in guys is pretty good! Especially lately~~ Ooh!!! Okay, so, hm... I feel like a double-feature might lend itself to having one that's super light-hearted and one a little more serious, so... maybe a Hairspray or Mamma Mia and then maybe a Rent or Moulin Rouge? So many options!!

Kat: I love you too, so so much!! HOW can we even make you prettier is the question? You're already, like, perfect! We can try on like a million outfits maybe! Have a little fashion montage!

Kat: It's definitely not MY type and I didn't know it was yours but if it is, that's awesome! What is it that he does that makes you feel all good and happy? Like, you don't have to tell me everything or anything, but I'm just curious because it feels like this came out of nowhere! I'm free to go see it whenever you are, really! You know I can always move my schedule around you, you're the most important part. Exactly! Figure out if you're on the same page or not. And if not, that's okay, you can find better! We can spend a lot of time together brainstorming the next move, but that's worst case scenario.

Chloe: !!!! FASHION MONTAGE, YES!!! Truth be told, I was shopping the other day just randomly and I totally already have a few things I spotted that I think would look AMAZING on you!

Yoyo: Don't be sorry, I like your excited! And I'm excited too! If that's just a taste of what's out there, I mean, there's so much to see! It's got me wondering if I should finally watch Hamilton LOL.

Yoyo: It's definitely going by way too fast! I feel like we just got out of school yesterday and it's already basically July? Time sucks! And cool, that sounds fun! I don't really have cute summer outfits but I bet you managed to find a million. I hope I get to see you in some of them. And other than jamming to the soundtrack, I've been working on a few products that I think will be interesting. I was lowkey inspired by Cookie's backpack on Ned's Declassified to want to make a backpack-computer-printer combo and if I can have that done before school, I'll be a happy camper. (Do you think that AND a jetpack would be too much?)

Chloe: Absolutely!!! Hamilton IS by the same guy who's responsible for In the Heights if that gives you any idea of what it's like! Personally, there's a lot of stuff I'd put over Hamilton, but that's just my taste!

I would love love LOVE to go on a date at an amusement park one day! I feel like that would just be so much fun and I've always loved the idea of my date overcoming how super rigged those carnival games are and winning me one of those super huge stuffed animals!

Oh, gosh, I don't think that many. There was this one week when I was, like, eight that I decided that these five boys that I thought were even just remotely cute were all my boyfriends but that was all, like, shy little cheek kisses at most. And only kisses on the lips count, right? I did have my real first kiss when I was thirteen, though! So that's one. Oh! And then I kissed @brodylightfoot at the freshie Spin the Bottle party, too! So, two in total!

Yoyo: Guess who hasn't been able to stop listening to the songs from In the Heights since we left the theater? This guy! Blackout especially has been stuck in my head 😂 If all of your movie selections are that good, you might have to be my go-to movie recommender!

Yoyo: What've you been up to lately, pretty girl? 😄

Chloe: !!!! YAY!!!! Sorry, I just get so excited when I'm able to create more musical fans! Just wait, Yoyo! In the Heights is just the beginning!!! There will definitely be more movies in our future, mister!

Kat: I mean, I'm sure you didn't NEED to, because you were undoubtedly gorgeous like you always are. But you're my bestie, I want to help get you all prettified and happy!

Kat: Yeah, kind of! I know him from computer classes and he's really nice but I never thought of him for you because he's like, idk, a little awkward, isn't he? And a teensy bit skinny but like, in a cute way. You cried? Did you go watch In The Heights?! Idk why but I assumed we'd watch that one together 😭 haha jk! But wow, that DOES sound sweet! Very, very adorable of you two to switch cheek kisses on the first date. Colton is SUPER hot so wanting to focus on just one boy is huge, oh my gosh! I totally support you if that's the move you want to make but like, before you do, make sure Yoyo is focusing on just you too! I mean, like, you don't want to cut off other options if he's still looking around, right?

Chloe: Awww, I love you so much!!! I feel like I do pretty good on my own too, but with your help, I'll be even MORE prettified next time!!!

Kat: In fact, next time tell me BEFORE so I can help you get ready! That's what girlfriends are for!

Kat: Yoyo? He's kind of cute, in a very specific way! But a movie date is always so cute, and if you guys were flirting before, that's great! Did you have fun? Did you guys KISS?! Do you want to do it again? Or are we like looking for more guys to add to the roster?

Chloe: Oh my gosh, you're so right. What was I thinking?! I'm definitely gonna do that next time, promise!!

Kat: UMMMMM EXQUEEZE ME?! YOU DID WHAT?!

Kat: You're forgiven for not telling me immediately as long as you TELL ME EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW! WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? AND WHY?

Chloe: Yes, thank you! 🙏🏻 I promise I'll tell you everything right away next time!

Yoyo: Okay, GOOD, because that couldn't be farther from the truth and if I messed things up with you like that I think I'd be kicking myself for a crazy long time lol. SORRY BUT THE WAY YOU HANDLE COMPLIMENTS IS SO CUTE, HOW AM I EVER SUPPOSED TO STOP? I like seeing you short-circuit! I do what I can to remind myself that I'm amazing and awesome and all that but I'd never say no to reminders, especially from you. So it's officially a movie 'date' now? Because yeah, right back at you, Ms. Anderson!

Yoyo: RIGHT?! THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN THE BRAIN SHORT-CIRCUITS! And the idea that *I* made YOU feel like that is just crazy insane and something I'm more proud of than most of my inventions, oops. I hated the idea of accidentally insulting you by insinuating you're nothing more than a typical high-school-movie-mean-girl, because the truth is you couldn't be any more different than that if you tried. It's just that it's a little hard NOT to reduce myself to a computer nerd when I'm talking to you, you're so cool! And fun and knowledgeable and kind and complimentary and talented and dedicated and just all of the things. You've got it, fair maiden!
