thank you for all the reviews/favourites/follows/reads so far!

ff . net apparently hates this kind of formatting, therefore for easier reading i'd recommend you to read this particular chapter on ao3 instead.

Hey, just thought I'd email you the notes you missed today, although I guess they could fit in a text. Or a Tweet. You didn't really miss much.

Thanks! Sorry I couldn't make it. This cold is killing me! I hope I'll get better tomorrow. Today was pretty lonely, stuck inside all day. I might even miss Dwight.

We have a test coming up, btw. I'm not sure if Scott mentioned it last class or not. (I usually just tune him out. I think today's class was the first time I've actually paid attention to anything he's saying. The things I do for you, Beesly!)
It's on October 9th. I think it's kind of like a pop quiz; but he's not given out study materials or anything.

I don't think he mentioned it before. Thanks though.
Hey, do you want to meet up at some point so we can study? I just don't really know anyone else in the class that well, and I feel like I ought to save you from studying with Dwight.

Thanks again for helping me out with Kevin. He just wouldn't leave! I'd been talking to him for 10 minutes straight before I could even get the chance to text you!
I was also wondering if you could perhaps send me the plan for your next prank on Dwight? You promised it was something interesting. I'd like to see for myself. ;)

Dwight is hyping himself up for the history test. It's a week away but apparently he wants to get full marks.
He needs to be stopped. This is killing me. So behold, the master plan.

That was surprisingly detailed. Do you aways put that much effort into your pranks? (If so: Maybe if you put that much effort into schoolwork you could beat Dwight? I'm disappointed in you, James.)
I'm not sure how I come into it, though?

You can help me to convince him, if you like. Or, whatever you want, I don't mind.
Anyway.
Never asked you today, sorry: Are you feeling better?

As long as "better" means "no longer wanting to die but wouldn't really mind being put into a coma as long as it would get rid of this stupid cold" then yes.
I wish I had put off staying off class until tomorrow though, because then I could miss Mr. Scott's business friend.

If you're really not feeling well, you could stay off if you want? Like I know I made a big deal of dying if you left me alone in that hellscape but seriously, if you're not feeling up to it I can just email you the notes like yesterday?

It's like the 90s emoticon version of the little kissy face emoji. My laptop's super old, I can't get any modern-day new-fangled emojis!

You don't need new-fangled emojis to have a good time. My laptop doesn't get them either. 90s emoticons it is! Cheers to the stone age!
