TEXT MESSAGES: CAITLYN K. & Vi
4:55 PM
Caitlyn K:
I’ve made it to the library.
5:05 PM
Caitlyn K:
Are you running late? I’m sitting by the North-facing window.
5:15 PM
Caitlyn K:
Vi?
5:25 PM
Caitlyn K:
This is absolutely ridiculous. I’m sure you have much better things to do than this project. As do I. The difference is I actually show up to my commitments. Even the most dreadful ones, such as this one.
5:36 PM
Caitlyn K:
Vi, if you don’t show up in the next five minutes–or at the very least answer your bloody phone–I’m leaving, and you can do this project on your own.
5:45 PM
Caitlyn K:
Thank you for absolutely nothing.
TEXT MESSAGES: CAITLYN K. & MEL
5:46 PM
Caitlyn K:
I told you this was an awful idea.
Mel:
None of my ideas are awful, but please elaborate. Now I’m curious!
Caitlyn K:
Agreeing to partner with Vi for the final project.
Mel:
I’m preeeetty sure that was your idea. Something about finally making a move before you graduate?
Caitlyn K:
I said no such thing! In fact, I take offense at such an accusation.
Mel:
Okay, maybe you didn’t say those exact words. But, babe, you’ve been in love with her for 4 years…
Caitlyn K:
That is so completely besides the point.
Mel:
She admits it!
Jayce owes me $20
Caitlyn K:
I’m not admitting anything! Vi and I are complete polar opposites. There is no universe in which we could ever be anything more than what we are now.
Mel:
Which is?
Caitlyn K:
Nothing. We are nothing.
Mel:
Whatever you say, darling.
Good luck on your project.
Caitlyn K:
Thank you. I’ll need it, as it looks as though I will be completing it alone.

9:48 PM
Vi:
FUCKk
SHIT FUCK!!
IM SO SORRY

i took a nap and i swear i set an alarm but my fckn phone died omg
im so sorry caitlyn
Caitlyn K:
You do realize that the project is due at midnight, don’t you?
Vi:
OMG CAITLYN HI
IM SO SORRY
Caitlyn K:
Yes, you already said that.
Vi:
wait so u didnt do the project without me?
Caitlyn K:
Turns out it’s impossible, considering a large portion of it involves interviewing you. Despite my best efforts (i.e. requesting Dr. Heimerdinger to allow for a modification), it appears that we must work together or else we both fail.
Vi:
do u always text like that?
Caitlyn K:
Like what?
Vi:
nvm
do u wanna come over
Caitlyn K:
Absolutely not.
Vi:
then how do we do this? bc the library isnt 24 hrs anymore after that prank that guy jayce pulled
Caitlyn K:
I am well aware, but I’d rather not set foot in your apartment.
Vi:
damn
Caitlyn K:
We can meet via Zoom. I’ll send you a link.
Vi:

Caitlyn K:
It’s Caitlyn.
Vi:

ZOOM MEETING LIVE TRANSCRIPTION: CAITLYN K. & Vi
Caitlyn K:
I’ve enabled the automatic transcription feature, so it will automatically record everything we say for later access. You should be able to see it now in the chat box.
Vi:
I see it.
That’s pretty cool.
Caitlyn K:
I trust you read the assignment details?
Vi:
You think I’d make it to the top of our class without reading instructions?
Caitlyn K:
Right.
Vi:
Oh, sore subject. [laughs]
Caitlyn K:
Let’s just get this over with, shall we?
