Page 8 of I Wanna Text You Up

Edward,

I won’t lie, I really needed thattoday.

I only thought you were a flake for about ten minutes until I remembered you said you have a nutso schedule. Where do you work that keeps you so busy, and how do you manage that while in school? And you said you have other obligations on top of all that? What year are you? That sounds like a lot for a college student to take on. Really unfair, if you askme.

SUBJECT:Apologies

Edward,

It’s been two days since I’ve heard fromyou.

Either you’re busy or you think I’m a nosy, judgmentalbrat.

I apologize if I overstepped any boundaries. I promise I’m not usually so…obnoxious.

You seem like a cool guy and I hope I didn’t ruinanything.

P.S. I really only want you to be my roommate so I can pet your…cat.

SUBJECT:Ugh.

Batman,

I knew it was only about thecat.

Your questions weren’t too intrusive. I’m a senior and keep busy with working the graveyard shift, sports, and familyobligations.

Honestly, I don’t know how I do it all either. It’s kind of a lot, but someone’s gotta do it, right? At least that’s what I keep telling myself. If I’m not taking care of things, whowill?

Anyway, I’m rambling now. You don’t need to hear any ofthis.

Keep me updated on the availability,please.

SUBJECT:Iunderstand

Edward,

I can understand where you’re coming from. I’m an only child and admittedly I’ve lived a good life, but I’m sort of aperfectionist.

Being a perfectionist and an artistdon’tgo hand inhand.
