Chapter 71
Hope
Cherry, there you are! We see you!
Joy
I don’t see her!! What channel are you watching???
Hope
I’m not watching a channel. I’m watching some sort of social media streaming thing. Honny sent the link.
Faith
Cherry, you look so pretty! That dress!
Honny
Where’d she find a dress like that in her size?
Hope
Some dressmaker she found online. She bought it for work.
Joy
Send the link again!!
Faith
They’re interviewing Tom!! I always forget he’s famous. Even after all this time.
Honny
He’s always so crabby in these interviews . . .
Chill out, Tom. You’re prettier when you smile.
Hope
Look at Cherry’s sparkly eyeshadow. Do you think she did her own makeup?
Joy
I can’t open the link. I think I have parental controls on???
Faith
Has Cherry lost weight?
Honny
Maybe a little. She’s still the fattest person in that zip code. (Sorry, Cherry. Don’t worry—I’m still fatter.)
Hope
She’s the only person there who isn’t a size zero. That would be such a mind-you-know-what . . .
Honny
Yeah, Hope—she must feel like you at Christmas.
Hope
So funny, Honny.
Joy
Somebody send me a screenshot!!!
Faith
Oh no!
Honny
NO!
Hope
She must be so mad.
Joy
What happened???
Honny
The red carpet person just called Cherry “Baby.”
Joy
Is there actually a red carpet?
Faith
Aw. My heart!! Good answer, Tom.
Hope
He looks like he’s crying a little bit.
Honny
Who knew that Tom was such a sap?
Hope
Literally everyone who’s ever read “Thursday.”
Honny
I should read “Thursday,” but I get so bored. There’s no dialogue.
Faith
I’ll bet the movie has dialogue.
Hope
There they go . . .
Faith
Bye, Cherry! You look gorgeous!
Honny
Dang, Cherry, you look even better walking away. Where’d you find that DRESS?
Joy
What’s happening now??
Honny
They’re interviewing the guy from Friday Night Lights.
Joy
Oh! Send me a screenshot!!!
