 Group text:
 
 Melissa: Sorry, sorry, sorry, but I don’t think we should invite Liam tonight.
 
 Tamara: Which one is Liam again?
 
 Torie: The athlete one right? Or the one that looks like he could be an athlete.
 
 Matt: Why am I included in this?
 
 Matt: I’m down with No-Liam.
 
 Matt: Is this supposed to be a chicks’ group chat? I don’t see any other guys included.
 
 Melissa: I would’ve included Liam, but since this is about him, I thought that’d be not good. Anyone heard from Bailey?
 
 Matt: Good luck. She’s with the Kashsters right now.
 
 Matt:;) if you know what I mean.
 
 Torie: He’s my boss, Matt. The wink wasn’t needed.
 
 Matt: But it got my point across.
 
 Bailey: I’m here! Hoda’s not invited as well.
 
 Matt: WE ARE NOT DOWN WITH THE HODASTERS!
 
 Melissa: I’m assuming. No one talks to her in class.
 
 Tamara: Why isn’t Liam invited? And what’s going on with Hodasters? Matt, can I get a nickname?
 
 Matt: You are now The Tam Tam.
 
 The Tam Tam: ** thumbs up ** ** hands in the air **
 
 Torie: I’m fine with no Liam, though if I remember right, he’s a cool guy.
 
 Melissa: He’s roommates with Hoda now. Hoda is, like, somewhat of an enemy, isn’t she?
 
 Matt: Hell yes she is! WE ARE NOT DOWN WITH THE HODASTERS!
 
 Melissa: That’s what I thought! Okay. Bailey, are you okay with that? This is your night to hang out with everyone. Hoda’s gotten weird at school, and I know you’re not talking to her. But Liam is living with her and yeah…
 
 Tamara: That’s weird.
 
 Torie: Agreed.
 
 Matt: Why have I not been added to this group text earlier? Can this be a regular thing? I’m loving it.
 
 Melissa: Bailey?
 
 Matt: Told you. She’s with the Kashsters. They’re probably groping in the shower.
 
 Bailey: Shut up, Matt! I know where you live and I will piss off Marie and Theresa and sic them both on you.
