MrSmoothie:

All right?

Makdiva:

What do you want, Nick?

MrSmoothie:

Shouldn’t u be writing that essay?

Makdiva:

OMG! Is it not enough that you have to tutor me? Now you want to make me study 24/7? I said I was having a BREAK!

MrSmoothie:

Stop being a drama queen! So who are you chatting to?

Makdiva:

Not telling!

MrSmoothie:

Why, is it your boyfriend?

Makdiva:

No Bharti and Mel actually.

MrSmoothie:

Invite me in then!

Makdiva:

No!

 

 

PrincessBhartilina:

Thanks, Mel!

MELodrama:

Makeeda, where have you been?

Makdiva:

Just getting rid of Nick! Hey how did the netball trials go?

MELodrama:

I got in!

Makdiva:

Really? That’s great!

MELodrama:

I know, it makes it easier to do GCSE PE coursework. Laura got in too.

Makdiva:

That’s nice.

MELodrama:

She’s not that bad, Makeeda.

Makdiva:

Not to you she isn’t.

MELodrama:

U and Bharti should try out for the new football team.

Makdiva:

U do remember the last time we were on a team, right?

MELodrama:

Yeah, I was thinking that all that aggression would be great on a football pitch.

MrSmoothie:

Actually, Mel, Makeeda’d probably get enough red cards to cover her bedroom walls!

PrincessBhartilina:

LOL.

MELodrama:

LOL.

Makdiva:

For crying out loud, Bharti! Did you have to invite him?

PrincessBhartilina:

Stop being mean to Nick. He’s lovely.

MrSmoothie:

Yeah, Makeeda, stop being mean to me. I’m lovely.

MELodrama:

You two are like an old married couple; we can’t split you up.

Makdiva:

Whatever!

A new window popped up. It was Nelson.

 

DJNelson:

Hey!

Makdiva:

Hey yourself!

DJNelson:

So what are you up to?

Makdiva:

Chatting to you . . .

DJNelson:

Ha ha ha! So when can we meet up again?

Makdiva:

I’ve barely recovered from our last meeting.

DJNelson:

Really? I thought we had some unfinished business. You still owe me a kiss.

Makdiva:

Nah, I think you’ll find you’re the one with the debt, mate! So what are you doing today?

DJNelson:

I’m at my mum’s and avoiding her.

Makdiva:

Why?

DJNelson:

Oh, just the usual.

I wasn’t sure how to reply to that. I mean, I completely understood what he meant, but I didn’t want to have to explain why. The window of the other conversation was
flashing.

Makdiva:

Nelson, you’d better join my other conversation.

DJNelson:

OK, I will. I’ll be there in five.

 

 

PrincessBhartilina

Where have u been, Makeeda?

Makdiva:

Hey! I was chatting to Nelson.

MELodrama:

You’re not the only one with a love life, you know. I saw Jason yesterday.

Makdiva:

What as in saw him drive by the bus stop or something?

MELodrama:

Ha ha, you’re so funny. No, as in I spent the day with him.

PrincessBhartilina:

Am I the only one not in a relationship?

MrSmoothie:

You and me babe!

MELodrama:

Hey, r u asking Bharti out, Nick?

Makdiva:

Yeah?

MrSmoothie:

I didn’t mean it like that.

PrincessBhartilina

Heartbreaker!

Makdiva:

So annoying, isn’t he?

MELodrama:

He’s such a playa. Bharti, you’re well rid of him!

MrSmoothie:

Oh thanks!


DJNelson:

All right?

MrSmoothie:

Who are you?

MELodrama:

Shut up, Nick, you know it’s Nelson!

MrSmoothie:

Right, Mel, that’s why I asked!

MELodrama:

Ahh, Nick’s put out because he’s not the only guy in Makeeda’s life!

PrincessBhartilina:

Mel!

MrSmoothie:

You’re talking rubbish.

DJNelson:

What’s going on?

PrincessBhartilina:

Nothing. Just ignore them.

MELodrama:

Nick, just admit it. You’re jealous!

MrSmoothie:

I AM NOT JEALOUS, MEL!

PrincessBhartilina:

Whoa, no caps in this conversation pls?

MELodrama:

Whatever! I don’t want to talk to you any more, Nick.

MrSmoothie:

Fine by me, Mel!

DJNelson:

Are they arguing over me?

PrincessBhartilina:

No, Nick’s Piscean like me, and Mel’s Leo. It’s kind of inevitable really.

DJNelson:

Oh OK then.

MrSmoothie:

Mel’s obviously been repressing her feelings for me, but you know what? Sorry, hon, you’re just not my type!

MELodrama:

I’ll repress u in a minute!

PrincessBhartilina:

LOL nice1 Nick! U2 Mel!

MrSmoothie:

I thought u weren’t talking to me???

DJNelson:

Bharti, R they always like this?

PrincessBhartilina:

Sometimes.

Makdiva:

OMG can’t you 2 pretend to be normal?

MrSmoothie:

Normal is boring, Makeeda!

MELodrama:

You should know, Nick!

PrincessBhartilina:

Ouch!

DJNelson:

LOL!

MELodrama:

Oh and Nick, your smoothies don’t taste that gr8, so I’d change your MSN name!

PrincessBhartilina:

Mel!

Makdiva:

That’s not true, Mel!

MrSmoothie:

Mel, why don’t u just !@*$ off!

Makdiva:

Nick?
