Your phone buzzed with an intense urgency, a notification causing a ripple of vibrations through the device. This morning, a message from Jaimes Perrow had arrived, blunt and explicit in its content:

why weren't you at the party? were you cheating on me? don't message me again, traitor.

You had assumed it was one of Jaimes' dramatic moments, perhaps triggered by an argument with Shane or an another taunt about his failed encounters with LilithEvans. Surely, he couldn't be genuinely upset about you missing his party... right?

Two hours later, after leaving him on read, a new notification illuminated your screen:

text me back rn I miss u so much I love u I’m sorry babe ik u would never cheat i was just stoned.

The abrupt shift in tone lacked Jaimes' usual eloquence, and it contradicted his earlier message completely. The rollercoaster of emotions in his messages left you wondering what had transpired in those two hours to prompt such a dramatic change.
