(5:18) Lance: HEY

(5:20) Katie: There's a first time for everything, Hunk.

(5:21) Lance: Go back to working on your quantum vegan robot Katie.

(5:23) Katie: my what

(5:23) Hunk: omg

(5:25) Lance: All of you avoided me today, and I want to know why.

(5:26) Katie: I've been trying to avoid you for 2 weeks.

(5:26) Lance: NO YOU HAVEN'T WHY ARE YOU BEING MEAN TO ME

(5:30) Keith: I think we can all agree that we can't avoid Lance, no matter how hard we try.

(5:31) Katie: Yeah, we should get medals or something!

(5:32) Lance: GEE THANKS, love you guys too. I wanted to talk about the dance again and see if you have any updates for me.

(5:33) Katie: That's why we've been avoiding you!

(5:34) Lance: But I have a foolproof plan for us all to get dates. Who wants to hear?

(5:35) Katie: I gtg do things!

(5:36) Hunk: Later, I just baked cookies. Sorry.

(5:36) Keith: I don't need an excuse for leaving this conversation.

(5:38) Lance: Fine. That's fine

(5:40) Lance: I'll go bug Shiro

Chat: Lance and Shiro

(5:40) Lance: Shiro the others are bullying meee

(5:41) Shiro: I saw.

(5:42) Lance: Oh

(5:44) Shiro: Would you like me to tell them to stop?

(5:44) Lance: No that's fine ha, do you want to hear my foolproof plan?

(5:46) Shiro: Sure, Lance.

(5:47) Lance: Yes! This is why you are my favorite! The plan is five ways to know if a girl likes you.

(5:48) Shiro: Right..

(5:50) Lance: I found it in the magazine I was reading last night, page 55! I can compare it to Katie. To see if she's crushing on you.

(5:52) Shiro: Why?

(5:52) Lance: Trust me!

(5:54) Shiro: Lance…

(5:55) Lance: Let's just see, and if I am wrong, then I will never speak of your undying, unrequited love for her again!

(5:57) Shiro: I'm in.

(6:00) Lance: Alright boy, 1) Body language. Ooo

(6:04) Lance: You guys looked cozy in the library today!

(6:05) Shiro: She was helping me with homework.

(6:06) Lance: According to the librarian you guys were doing more than just math. Looking into each other's eyes, smiling dreamily. Shall I go on?

(6:07) Shiro: Did you literally ask Ms. Green if we were looking into each other's eyes?

(6:09) Lance: no that would be weird

(6:11) Shiro: What else does it say

(6:12) Lance: 2) If she has funny or cute nicknames for you.

(6:13) Shiro: Nope.

(6:13) Lance: LIAR! She's called you tons of things!

(6:15) Shiro: Like what?

(6:17) Lance: Space Boy, Scar, Lioness, Meatball (remember that? that was funny)

(6:18) Shiro: That's just her personality! And she doesn't do it that often.

(6:19) Lance: 3) Inviting you to special events.

(6:20) Shiro: That doesn't make sense.

(6:21) Lance: What about that time she took you to Comic Con?

(6:21) Shiro: She had no one else to go with. Matt was sick.

(6:22) Lance: Stop making excuses! She could have asked me. I know what Lord of the Rings is.

(6:23) Shiro: I don't think she wanted to go with you.

(6:23) Lance: Exactly!

(6:24) Shiro: *sigh*

(6:24) Lance: Are you ready for number 4?

(6:25) Shiro: Do I have a choice?

(6:26) Lance: Never! 4) If she comes to you for emotional support.

(6:28) Shiro: What does that mean?

(6:29) Lance: You know, she tells you her feelings! Comes to you when she's sad.

(6:30) Shiro: Once or twice, yes… Friends do that though.

(6:31) Lance: Ha, right! I have NEVER asked another human being for emotional support! I'll finish later, tamales are ready :D bye

(6:32) Shiro: sometimes you worry me

Group Chat: Voltron

(8:15) Hunk: GUYS

(8:15) Hunk: I JUST ASKED SHAYLA TO THE DANCE AND SHE SAID YES

(8:16) Keith: Nice.

(8:19) Katie: That's great, Hunk! I don't think I'm going to go to the dance.

(8:20) Hunk: Why not?

(8:21) Katie: Eh. I've got a science project I need to work on.

(8:21) Lance: YOU HAVE TO COME THOUGH YOU'LL MESS UP MY PLAN

(8:22) Katie: I am DEFINITELY not coming now.

(8:23) Hunk: Are you sure? That science project isn't due for a month. You could just go with your friends, if you're worried about not getting a date.

(8:25) Katie: Yeah… You guys have fun.

(8:26) Lance: NOOO!

(8:27) Katie: It's no big deal, trust me.

(8:30) Hunk: Ok, but we'll miss you!

(8:32) Katie: Thanks. GTG, catch you guys later.

Chat: Shiro and Lance

(8:34) Lance: Shiro you idiot, something major just happened. Drop what you are doing now!

(8:36) Shiro: What's going on this time? Did you find more things for me?

(8:37) Lance: Worse than that! Katie is not going to the dance.

(8:38) Shiro: I know.

(8:40) Lance: Shiro, you need to ask her to the dance. Katie Holt must go to the dance with you.

(8:45) Shiro: Calm down, she has a fair reason not to go.

(8:48) Lance: She's working on a project that's not due for a few weeks, that's a lame excuse.

(8:50) Shiro: Only because you're not doing it.

(8:53) Lance: Dude, why are you not freaking out? Why am I the only one freaking out here?

(8:55) Shiro: Because you're oddly invested in our lives. It's okay, this isn't the end of the world. It's a high school dance.

(8:56) Lance: Shiro! It is the end of the world, unless you take her!

(8:57) Shiro: Lance….

(8:58) Lance: Listen to me, you need to change her mind

(8:59) Shiro: I don't want to force her into anything she does not want to do.

(9:00) Lance: At least talk to her about it

(9:02) Shiro: After I study for tomorrow's test.

(9:03) Lance: How can you study in a time like this?

(9:04) Shiro: Goodnight Lance. And go to bed at a decent time, please.

(9:05) Lance: Fine.

Chat: Shiro and Cindy

(9:20) Cindy: Hey, Shiro, it's Cindy! :)

(9:22) Shiro: Um, hi.

(9:24) Cindy: There's something I've been meaning to ask u.

(9:25) Shiro: Sure.

(9:25) Cindy: I hope no one has asked you to the dance, because I was wondering if you would like to go with me?

(9:33) Shiro: Actually, I… well…

(9:34) Shiro: Yes, I'd like to go with you.

(9:35) Cindy: Omg Shiro you are like the best! Make sure u wear a blue tie, and i'll give u my adress and maybe we can hang out tomorrow?

(9:37) Shiro: Ok. :)

(9:38) Cindy: You're the best!

Chat: Katie and Keith

(10:00) Katie: Heyy Keith. You're brutally honest. Do you think I should go to the dance anyway?

(10:03) Keith: I don't know. I mean, the project isn't due for a while, and knowing you you're already almost done with it. I think it could be fun.

(10:05) Katie: I didn't know the word 'fun' was in your vocabulary ;)

(10:06) Keith: Who knows, someone might offer a really pretty nerd to dance with them.

(10:07) Katie: stop

(10:06) Keith: Night, I have to turn my phone off. Lance is trying to roast me.

(10:07) Katie: Good idea, I'll let them know tomorrow

You Have 1 New Notification

Cindy Lindy

I want the whole school to know that I asked Shiro out to the dance, and he said yes. Too bad, so sad for the rest of you! In your face, computer nerd. *kissy face emoji* *laughter emoji*
