HAYDEN

AUSTIN, IF YOU CAN HEAR US, BLINK ONCE

FLETCH

How did you graduate high school, man?

HAYDEN

Rude! Sorry for being the only one who cares about Austin’s well-being.

DAWSON

He probably is too busy making googly eyes at Alyssa to respond.

HAYDEN

HEY-OOO!

FLETCH

Is it too late to leave the group chat?

HAYDEN

You’re stuck with us until you find a girl you stick with for longer than a weekend.

FLETCH

Fantastic.

COOPER

Austin, will you please let us know you’re alive?

And save me from these nincompoops.

HAYDEN

HA! You said poop.

I shake my head at my teammates. They’re really more like family at this point. An extremely dysfunctional one, but what family doesn’t have at least a little dysfunction?

ME

No need to start gathering the ransom money.

HAYDEN

HE LIVES!!!

ME

No crazed fans.

And no googly eyes either.

HAYDEN
