i’ll email him. shld i email him? cuz he acted like things were over b/w us when he was telling me about tonnie, but maybe that’s just cuz he’s afraid i won’t give him a second chance.
mad maddie:
ANGELA. STOP RIGHT NOW.
SnowAngel:
but what if it’s true love? i can’t walk away from true love!
zoegirl:
do you REALLY think it’s true love?
SnowAngel:
it MIGHT be. and i don’t wanna be the kind of person who’s not willing to put in the work, u know? love takes work. it’s not all cake and ice cream.
mad maddie:
all right, i can’t deal with this. bye, ladies.
SnowAngel:
maddie?
SnowAngel:
zoe, did maddie really go away?
zoegirl:
looks like it
SnowAngel:
maddie doesn’t get it, cuz she’s never been in love. but it’s better to have lived and loved than never to have loved at all.
zoegirl:
i guess
SnowAngel:
it’s TRUE. and now i’m gonna email rob like i said i would, cuz u’ve made me feel so much better.
zoegirl:
i have?
SnowAngel:
yeah. thanks for the pep talk, i needed it.

mad maddie:
zoe, angela is her own worst enemy, you know.
zoegirl:
i love her so much, but i do kind of understand what you’re saying. but i don’t know how to tell her that to her face. i don’t even know if i want to say it to her face.
mad maddie:
i do. i just wanna shake her shoulders and say, “GET A CLUE! HE IS A LOSER!!!”
zoegirl:
i know. it’s so sad.
mad maddie:
yeah, but it’s also just ANNOYING.
mad maddie:
i didn’t wanna mention it in front of angela, but can i tell u what a great time i had at work saturday night?
zoegirl:
with ian?
mad maddie:
we splashed dishwater at each other—it was vair vair flirty and fun. and get this: he asked if i wanted to hang out with him next weekend, after our shifts r over.
zoegirl:
no way!
mad maddie:
way!
zoegirl:
you said yes, i’m assuming?
mad maddie:
oh, i was very coy as i turned bright red and mumbled, “uuh, sure!” i was quite the vixen.
zoegirl:
oh, maddie, you are going to have an awesome birthday weekend. you’re still going out with me and angela on friday, right?
mad maddie:
ack—i totally forgot. actually, the rents have had a rare moment of parental affection and wannatake me to that brazilian restaurant where u get heaps and heaps of meat. sounds like my kind of place, baby.
zoegirl:
this friday? they’re taking you to Meat Land this friday?
mad maddie:
uh, yes, since that would be my bday…
zoegirl:
but you said u’d go out with us!
mad maddie:
so we’ll go out saturday instead, only it’ll have to be in the morning since i work that night. ooo—we could do the all-u-can-eat breakfast buffet at shoney’s!
zoegirl:
yeah, but angela had her heart set on being with you on your exact birthday. i don’t mean to make a big deal out of this, but she’ll be really disappointed if we don’t get together.
mad maddie:
that’s ridiculous
zoegirl:
i know, but still. she’d be really, really disappointed. she’s just so fragile right now.
mad maddie:
fine. i’ll tell the rents to take me out another time, i guess.
zoegirl:
excellent idea. maybe THEY can take u to shoney’s.
mad maddie:
whatevs
mad maddie:
welp, time to bounce. mark is gonna take me driving in a minute here, and i must do my limbering-up exercises. rotate the wrists, rotate the neck, practice my patented scan for dogs and small children…
zoegirl:
have fun.
mad maddie:
only four more days!!!

SnowAngel:
i wrote rob that email. i’m not gonna show it tomaddie cuz she’d just be mean, but do u wanna read it?
zoegirl:
angela. are you sure rob’s really worth it?
SnowAngel:
here’s what it says:
