POSSE TEXT CHAT
THREE DAYS LATER
Lodestar: How’s Cruz?
Indy: Could be better. I know you looped him in before that shit went down with his mom. Thanks for that, Star. From one Old Lady to another. :P
Lodestar: Don’t mention it. Really. Please. Lol.
Indy: No, I will. It matters. Thank. You.
Lily: Just take the gratitude, Star.
Tiffany: My professor would have a lot to say about your inability to accept gratitude, Lodestar.
Amara: I say she pain in ass.
Rachel: You would lol.
Giulia: I don’t think it’s that.
Giulia: There’s a reason I made you an honorary member of the Posse, Star.
Giulia: Cruz is Star’s family. Who doesn’t look out for family?
Stone: Cunts?
