“DM me your phone number.” Emma could’ve just done that herself but she is showing off. As pathetic as this is, she totally is doing this for Regina’s eyes to see.

But Emma is offline now. Getting ready to go out with Bel.

“Cute.” Emma knows Bel is playing along and she just adores her more now, “I was getting dressed.” sends another tweet.

“Nothing important.” finally replies.

Emma’s heart burst into joy when Regina jumps into their DMs; just like old times. She takes her time before replying. Ten minutes later, “I don’t think it’s a date.”

DMs Bel immediately after replying to Regina, “She’s jealous!”

“She’s asking if we are going out on a date.” Emma replies, “What do I tell her?”

“You’re brilliant.” Emma replies, “Get ready do we can do this over a glass of booze.”

After another 10 minutes later Emma replies with the exact same words that Bel has advised her to.

“Somone invite me for a pool party.” Emma tweets, with a hashtag that says ‘brunette’.

This time the reply comes faster, she sends a short, “I do.”

“I’m not leading her on, like I said, she knows where starting as friends. She is really nice. We’ll see what happens.”

“I’m dressed like someone who’s finally ready to have fun.”

“Are you jealous?”

Emma doesn’t reply. Instead she leaves the dorm to go meet up with her new friend.

Rolls her eyes.

They are not, they look like crap, “Considering how many tears were dropped, we sure do.” laughs.

Suddenly Professor Mills crosses her mind.
