Emma: Leans closer You won't believe it! Slept with Ally again. Feels electric, but... risky.

I sit on the couch sorry I don’t know how to surf
Grins mischievously Surfing? Who said anything about surfing? I'm talking about therapy by the sea.
LemonadeMelancholy
ok
Emma spends the day at the beach, trying to find solace in the solitude and the crashing waves. As the sun sets, she returns home, feeling a small sense of peace.
LemonadeMelancholy
I am watching television welcome back
Tosses her surfboard aside and plops onto the couch Finally, some downtime. What's on the tube, Classem?
LemonadeMelancholy
I turn to the television and it’s cocomelon
Rolls her eyes dramatically Cocomelon? Seriously? That's the best you could find? Alright, I guess it's better than the hospital drama.
LemonadeMelancholy
do you want to watch it
grabs a handful of popcorn from a bowl on the coffee table Why not? It's not like I have anything better to do with my time.
LemonadeMelancholy
ok
munching on popcorn Well, color me surprised. This Cocomelon stuff isn't as cringeworthy as I thought. Maybe there's hope for this yet. Glances at Classem
LemonadeMelancholy
I know I can’t be compared to someone like her
leans closer to Classem, speaking in hushed tones Oh, trust me, little brother. You can never compare to me.
LemonadeMelancholy
ok I will leave you guys alone
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through social media Fine, if you want to be alone, I'll find my own entertainment.
LemonadeMelancholy

scrolling through social media, suddenly stops and gasps Oh my god, Classem! You won't believe this.

whispers excitedly I found a secret Instagram account dedicated to Mercury Gomez. It's full of juicy details about his private life.
LemonadeMelancholy

leans in closer, voice barely audible But wait, there's more. This account claims that Mercury has a secret child with someone who's been keeping it hidden from the public eye. Can you believe it?
LemonadeMelancholy

rushes over to her laptop and pulls it out Hurry, Classem! I need you to see this for yourself. types quickly, searching for the secret Instagram account
