Do you want that?

Allright. C'mon

Follow me.

Kendal Strickland wasn't just the

prettiest girl at Waverly Prep.

She was alegend.

As a junior, the student council voted

to dedicate the yearbook to her,

even though another

student had recently died.

look who's arrived

Hey Mavis, its me again. Just

calling to bug you.

We need that draft of Waverley 178.

We can work with something rough...

Last one, honey. I know you can do

it...hopefully by Friday

when you send something that soon,

isnt it just for the inner circle?

Not for the ex-girlfriend of the

father, who doesnt even talk to him anymore.

Frankly,

its a slap in the face.

Right?

You seem a little overly worked up

about this.

Im not worked up in the

slightest.

I just wanted to tell you about something

that happened. God.

Well, good for them, right?

Buddy seems like hed be a decent father.

But can you imagine still living

in Mercury?

Trapped with a wife

and a kid and some crappy job?

Its like hes...

Its like hes a

hostage.

Yup.

Were lucky we got out.

Yes

We have lives.

I just think me and Tyler are

like, soul twins. You know?

- Like, right before he texts me, its like I can...

- Sense it.

Yes! Like psychically.

And its like we have chemistry even over

our phones.

- Chemistry messages.

- Like, textual chemistry.

Exactly.

Just as Kendal hit send, a message

from Ryan popped up like magic.

It couldn't be denied ... they had

textual chemistry.

So, I spent a year

in Southeast Asia.

Why?

I ended up a

volunteer teacher in Phnom Pehn.

Oh my God. Yikes.

Mm, yeah, it was probably the most

rewarding thing Ive ever done...

Of course.

Sure. Totally.

Mad Love, Buddy.
