April:
The old April can’t come to the phone right now
Emma:
Oh my God
Emma:
I LOVE it
Emma:
New hair who dis
Izzy:
Only you could make green hair look THAT good
April smiled as Emma sent three GIFs in quick succession and Izzy clap-reacted to the photo she’d sent. Emma and Izzy were ride-or-die friends. If she ever needed to call someone for help, no questions asked, it would be Emma. Izzy was the same, though she’d probably asksomequestions so that she could be best prepared for whatever the situation might be. If April needed to bury a body, Emma would be therein a heartbeat, but Izzy was the one who’d bring the shovels. She was glad that she’d put in the effort to maintain their friendship even after she’d moved away from their hometown. She had a feeling she was going to need the two of them now more than ever.
April:
See you soon, girls. You can flatter me in person.
She locked her phone and made her way out of the restroom, raising a hand to the guy behind the counter in the store who looked relieved to see the back of her as she climbed into her car.
Her phone vibrated again and April glanced down, expecting to see messages from Emma and Izzy but instead finding another text from Tyler.
