Why are you like INSISTING I'm going to creep on you, what does that say about YOU??? You're the one that made it all weird after you found out I was a girl anyway!!

[namuthing]

[lyricistdontmiss]

Okay wait hold on I'm gonna guess

You're like maybe fifteen, sixteen? And that's being generous because I could totally pin you for twelve with the way you're acting, I have seen SO many teenage boys playing online games like this

[namuthing]

... yeah fine whatever.

[lyricistdontmiss]

I KNEW it

Dude guys your age go crazy for these kinds of jokes, that's all I heard in high school, you should totally learn these!

Also like, please don't say things like that about girls, it's REALLY hurtful

Actually you probably shouldn't say it about anyone, but ESPECIALLY girls

[Oh my god, she's lecturing him. Let him crawl into a hole and die about this. Honestly, he has half of a mind to do just that, or maybe go run into a flock a monsters and let them put him out of his misery.

... but he is curious. So...]

what's high school?

[lyricistdontmiss]

Oh! High school is a level of school for teenagers. So you have like, elementary school for kids from like 5 to 11, then middle school for kids from 12 to 14, then high school for kids from 15 to 18. It's like, you go there and learn stuff like writing and reading and math and science, and you learn more complicated stuff the older you get! And if you want to go to school even more after high school, you can go to college! But you don't have to.

[namuthing]

yyyyeah i never did any of that.
whoops.

[lyricistdontmiss]

Oh my god you missed out on like a WHOLE social experience

I'm going to teach you so many things, just you wait. You're gonna have a BLAST! Because Zoey's Simulated High School experience will NOT include bullies.

[namuthing]

i never agreed to that!!

[lyricistdontmiss]

Aww, cmon! It'll be fun! I promise!

[namuthing]

[lyricistdontmiss]

Tell you what, you can just try it once and if you don't like it, you don't have to do it again! No catch!

Besides, it would be nice to make some new friends! I'm still new here.
