Bellamy:What the hell, Aries? I’m sitting right beside you. You couldn’t just tell me this?

Bishop:You are annoying, Merry.

Aries:That’s beside the point. Everyone welcome our newest member, Andry. He’s dating my brother, as some of you know. He’s also a hockey player, which we will forgive.

Leon:Hey Andry. Good to see you again. Or chat. Whatever.

Maddox:Forgive Leon. He didn’t sleep well. Jake had too much sugar before bed.

Bishop:This will be a fun day on ice then. *devil emoji*

Andry:Thanks? Not sure what to say. I appreciate the welcome.

Bellamy:I’m sorry you’re roped into this chaos, Andry. But also, I’m glad you’re here.

Bellamy:Aries, is there a specific reason you created this Alliance group text? I have a feeling there’s more to the story.

Aries:Why, yes, BB, there’s a reason. Operation: Bully Revenge is commencing.

Leon:Bully revenge? Who’s being picked on?!

Maddox:Great. Now my boyfriend is about to go feral. Aries, please get to the point quickly.

Aries:I was trying!

Andry:It’s about Rodney. My teammates need to be taught a lesson. To see how important he is.

Bellamy:Ah, yes. That makes sense.

Leon:We’ll destroy them. Give me names.

Maddox:DO NOT GIVE HIM NAMES.

Bishop:I’ll take the names then. We like little Merry. No one will hurt him any longer.

Andry:He’s no longer in danger. This is revenge.

Andry:I’ll protect him with my life.

Aries:That’s what I’m talking about.

Bellamy:Oh yeah. He’s got that Daddy energy.

Leon:This is why he’s in the alliance, right? You’re going to be a good addition to the Bears one day.

Bishop:We’ll see. Luke isn’t responding in chat. Maybe he doesn’t want to be in the alliance.

Luke:I’m trying to work. Some of us have jobs.

Maddox:We all have jobs, Coach. If you’re trying to act like a saint, save it for someone else. Timothy blushes too much to hide your nefarious ways.

Aries:BURN! Someone call the fire department.

Bellamy:Can we focus please? I have a meeting in ten. So does Aries, though I think he’s forgotten.

Andry:Yes, and I have class.

Luke:That’s right. Then practice after. You better keep those grades up, Rykov. You’re showing promise. I want that for my team.
