Seeker: Likewise.

SquidHead: This was a great idea, Star. I already feel closer to you lot.

JazzyPlum: I’m here if you need anything, FFH.

FarfromHome: Why did I agree to play this game?

Jeneticist: I’ll take a turn. When I was in fourth grade, I tried to leave a note on Nolan Kazinski’s desk. He was in the front row. I fumbled it.

Jeneticist: The paper ended up under the teacher’s desk. Mr. Mandell read it and then kindly lectured the class about how it’s normal to get a crush on your teacher, but that sending love letters is a step too far.

Stargazer: Classic! Did anyone ever find out it was you?

Jeneticist: Sadly, yes. Ashley Clemmons saw me and told everyone I wanted to marry Mr. Mandell. They called me Teacher’s Pet until I changed schools in junior high.

SquidHead: Aw, that sucks. Did you ever confess to Nolan?

Jeneticist: That’s a negative. He dated Ashley Clemmons all through high school.

Stargazer: That’s probably why she targeted you. You were coming for her man!

Seeker: I’m sorry that happened.

FarfromHome: Quite a protracted punishment for a small mistake.

Jeneticist: It’s fine. I’m over it. 🙂

JazzyPlum: I’m up next. I need to head out soon. I’ll read everyone else’s confessions later.

SquidHead: Go for it.

JazzyPlum: I have no family to speak of. I’m grateful to have all of you in my life.

Stargazer: Whoa. Not even distant cousins or whatever?

JazzyPlum: There’s no one.

Jeneticist: You’ve got us!

SquidHead: 💯We’re here for you.

FarfromHome: What they said.

Seeker: I haven’t spoken to my family in a long time, so I understand a little. And yes, that’s my confession as well.

JazzyPlum: Sending hugs, Seeker. Maybe you can patch things up eventually. And I’m heading out. Sorry to miss your confessions, Star and Squid.

SquidHead: Later, Jaz. Hmm. I guess I’ll go with the time I tried to rush a fraternity and got rejected. I really wanted to fit in, but they laughed in my face when I showed up and said, “Uh, no, bro. The computer science building is that way.”

Jeneticist: You were too good for them!

SquidHead: Oh, they were put on probation for hazing. And I did make some friends in the computer lab.

Stargazer: You’re better off. Those guys are assholes.

FarfromHome: What made you want to join?

SquidHead: Parties, mainly. And to hang around with cool people.
