Aurora: Has anyone ever told you how disgusting you all are?

Connor: Just spreading the love, little Hart. Ella says hi.

Aurora: Hi Ella—your boyfriend is disgusting.

Connor: She says welcome to her world. She wants to know if you want to go for drinks one night?

Aurora: Yeah. Maybe. Now was there a point to this group chat, or can I get back to my book?

Connor: You’re reading?

Aurora: I came to check out the library. You know, the building that houses all the books.

Connor: Funny.

Aurora: I thought so.

I smiled to myself. These guys were something else. I couldn’t help but notice Noah’s lack of participation, though.

Austin: Okay, okay. I didn’t add you all to shoot the shit. We need to figure out our costume for the Lakers’ annual orientation party.

Connor: Hell yes!!!

Aurora: I don’t understand…

Unless he’d added me by mistake.

Austin: Every year the Lakers host a big welcome back party. It’s always a costume party and everyone goes ALL OUT. We need to pick our theme.

Aurora: I know what a costume party is Austin, I just don’t understand why you’re including me in this.

Connor: Rules are rules, little Hart.

Aurora: I’m not sure I want to go to a party at Lakers House.

Connor: What, why not? Ella will be there. Dayna too. You have to come. It’s the rules, baby!

Aurora: Please, stop saying that.

My mouth twitched. I liked Connor a lot.

Austin: Holden, you there? You’re awfully quiet.

Noah: Connor talks enough for both of us.

Connor: Asshole!

Aurora: I’m going to bow out of this conversation now.

Connor: What, you can’t! We need you if we’re going to win.

Aurora: I don’t really do costume parties.

With the hockey team at their house and what I could only imagine would be a flock of scantily-clad puck bunnies.

Austin: First time for everything, sis.

Noah: You know they’re right, shortcake.
