I smile and keep typing as I walk down the hallway, through the arena, and out to the parking lot. Before I can press send, another message pops up.
Kellen
Hey, love muffin, it’s your fake boyfriend
I burst out laughing.
Me
Love muffin??What the hell?
Kellen
We should probably come up with cute pet names for each other. Isn’t that what boyfriends and girlfriends do? If you don’t like that one, I can keep brainstorming
Me
Are we twelve years old? And… how do you not know what people in a relationship do?
Kellen
You don’t have to be mean
I look around the parking lot and see a pair of squirrels frolicking up a tree.
Me
Sorry, squirrel
Kellen
Squirrel?
Me
I’m not good at this either, okay??
Kellen sends a laughing emoji, and I don’t lift my eyes from my phone until I get into my car.
This might actually be fun.
