Eli smirked and sent her a picture of him flipping her off.

Berry:Seriously, what’s wrong?

Making me act worried isn’t nice

It’ll trick people into thinking I care or something

Eli:I know it’s hard to believe, but have you considered that I might actually be happy?

Berry: Really?

No joke?

Eli:Really.

No joke

There was a long pause before Juniper finally texted back.

Berry:If you’re not fucking with me, then I’m happy for you. If you are then prepare for me to kick the crap out of you when you come home this weekend.

Eli:This weekend?

Berry:It’s Thanksgiving, doofus

Crap. He’d totally forgotten he’d planned to come home during Thanksgiving break. At first, it had been something he wanted so badly he could have cried, but now? What was Haruka supposed to do without him?

Berry:Doofus?

Eli:Sorry, I’ve been caught up with studying, I forgot what week it was

Berry:Just don’t forget to come home, ok?

Eli:Of course not, but . . . I might bring a friend with me

Berry:Ooooooooo

Tell me everything!

Eli:Fuck off

Berry:No way, I want to know!!!!!!!

Eli:Forget it, harpy

He loved his sister, but he wasn’t planning on coming out to her via text. She’d have to find out the old-fashioned way—via video chat from Antarctica because she was going to be the biggest pain in the ass ever about it.

He rolled onto his back and his ass twinged, forcing him to amend. She was now second biggest. Nothing could compare to Haruka.

Juniper had finally been dethroned.

Chapter Thirty-Five

Eli

Classes were over for the day, and Eli skipped his way down the sidewalk. He was going home!

Which was, of course, fraught with plenty of anxiety inducing issues, but still, he was going home!
