Chapter 17 Dawson
Dawson: What kind of gift do you think Lindsey would want?
Harper: for what?
Dawson: As a thank you for this afternoon
Dawson: If she hadn’t covered for us, we wouldn’t have gotten to……
Harper: have a conversation about how much we both wanted to go to Skate Night?
Dawson: …
Dawson: Yes. Absolutely that. That’s the thing I keep thinking about instead of studying.
Harper: pay attention, dawson
Harper: there are only so many math tests I can save your ass on
Dawson: Don’t deny it, Braedon
Dawson: You can’t resist saving my ass
WEDNESDAY, 7:31 A.M.
Harper: how was your away game?
Dawson: Really?
Dawson: Do we need a safe word or something so I can make sure it’s actually you?
Dawson: Quick, tell me something only the real Harper would know
Harper: ha ha ha. very funny.
Harper: DON’T tell me how your frosting went today
Dawson: Do you mean… icing?
Dawson: Never mind, it’s definitely you

Dawson: Hey, I saw the Young Entrepreneurs Grant posted on the bulletin board
Dawson: How’s that going?
Harper: ugh
Harper: okay
Harper: still bummed about the review bombing tbh
Harper: my site was going to give me the edge I needed
Dawson: No need for past tense. I told you, I sorted it out
Harper: are you sure? you didn’t have to
Dawson: Respectfully, shut up
Harper: well, then thank you. i really appreciate it.
Dawson: What else can I do?
Harper: could i send you my application? more eyes never hurt
Dawson: You bet
Dawson: I’m so bored, send it anytime
Dawson: Maybe my parents could weigh in, too? As entrepreneurs?
Dawson: If you want
Harper: that would actually be awesome
Harper: when did you turn into such a thoughtful guy
Dawson: Harper, I’ve always been a thoughtful guy
Dawson: You just didn’t notice
Harper: yeah
Harper: i guess it was buried under all the hockey pads
THURSDAY, 8:02 P.M.
Dawson: Is it Friday yet?
Harper: somehow no
Harper: this week is moving at a glacial pace
Harper: don’t you dare tell anyone, but i wish i could fast forward to skate night
Dawson: THE Harper? Excited to freeze her ass off on the ice?
Dawson: This is groundbreaking news
Dawson: Don’t you know someone on the paper we can alert???
Harper: i regret this whole conversation
Harper: junior year must be getting to me more than i expected
Dawson: Truly desperate times
Dawson: How can I help???
Harper: want to tackle that math homework together?
THURSDAY, 10:57 P.M.
Dawson: You are such a distraction
Dawson: That was the worst study session of my life
Harper: YOU’RE the one who brought up capybaras
Dawson: Yeah, but YOU’RE the one who started the YouTube rabbit hole dive
Dawson: A terrible influence, I’m telling you
Harper: at this rate we’re both going to fail the next unit test
Dawson: But we’ll have fun doing it
Harper: see you tomorrow, mr. DISTRACTION
Dawson: Counting the hours
Dawson: Sweet dreams
