Interviewer :
Welcome, welcome, everyone, to another episode of
What in YA Drama is this :.
Confessions of Texts and Teenage Chaos! Today, we have three of our favorite chaos magnets: Raye, Jane… and Kyle! Give it up, people!
Audience: cheers wildly
Interviewer:
Alright, let's dive in. Raye, last we saw, you nearly fell on the basketball field and—surprise—Kyle caught you. Care to explain what went through your mind at that precise moment?
Raye: (blushing furiously )
Uh… I was mostly thinking, "Wow, I am definitely dying in front of everyone," but also, "Okay, I've never trusted anyone so fast in my life." He… caught me. gestures vaguely at Kyle And whispered something in my ear. Totally cliché, I know.
Jane: (grinning like a villain)
Oh, she's blushing. I repeat, blushing. He whispered something like, "Yo, I am here now trouble " And Raye melted. Classic.
Raye :(covers her heated face )
Ugh ,curse you Jane
Kyle:( shrugs, smirking )
Yeah… I just saved her life. She's dramatic about everything.
Raye: (glares Dramatic? )
I nearly became a pancake on the court.
Interviewer:
Hero, huh? Now, Raye, we also heard there was a… text incident? Something about telling Kyle he should show up? Care to elaborate?
Raye: (groans and hides face in hands) Don't remind me. I sent a text like…" show up." And of course, I overthink it twenty times before he even reads it.
Classic me. And worst he didn't reply me
Jane: (laughing hysterically )
And by overthink, she means she basically drafted a five-paragraph essay in her head about whether he would ignore her, mock her, or—gasp—like her back.
But we'll , he did ignore her.
(Sighs dramatically)
I lost hope too at this point.
Kyle:( raising an eyebrow)
Honestly? I liked it. You being dramatic is… cute.
Raye: (gives him a side-eye Cute. )
That's all you can say? Cute.
Jane:
interrupting Oh, c'mon Raye, admit it—you're dying inside, but it's the good kind of death.
Mr. Tyler: Moving on—Raye, you've been trying to talk to Danielle, who apparently has had a crush on Kyle forever. Any progress?
Raye: (sighs )
Not really. Danielle I think she is still trying to process things .
Jane:(scoffs )
She almost rendered her phoneless.
Interviewer:
Yeah that's scene , I gasped dramatically at that point , phoneless is a huge problem.
Raye:
It was traumatizing. I felt like my soul disappeared for a few minutes .
Kyle:
Wow that was hectic
Raye:( snaps )
It was all your fault .
Kyle : frowns with a small innocent smile )
But you asked me to show up .
Raye :( speechless with her cheeks tainted red before muttering )
You are worst than Joshua .
Jane: (laughs so hard she almost falls off the stage )
Of course he is , look at you , you looked totally wrecked than usual , sending that text? That was peak "I like him, but don't let him know yet" energy.
Interviewer:
Speaking of university test scores and all that , Raye, how do you feel about the latest biology presentation results? Evan scored second for the first time, and Simi… the quiet one… scored first.
Raye:( rolls eyes )
Oh my gosh. First of all, poor Evan—he was so stressed. And yes, Simi scored first, like the mysterious genius she is.
Jane:( grinning mischievously)
And can we talk about Evan's face when we all teased him after the scores were out? Priceless. He was like, "I did my best!" while we were laughing hysterically.
Raye: (laughing despite herself)
We really shouldn't have done that… okay, maybe a little.
Kyle: (smirking )
Jane, you orchestrated it, didn't you?
Jane: innocent puppy voice Me? Nah ..it was Raye this time ..my thought just followed hers .
Raye: (glares )
Classic , but I asked if we had the same thought and you said yes , so we are both to blame .
Interviewer:
Let's have some fun—what's the single most dramatic moment of this week, hands down?
Raye: (immediately)
The basketball field. I almost fell. And Kyle saved me. And… the text. And Danielle not being there. And Jane laughing at my expense.
Jane:( clapping)
Beautifully summarized! She basically listed everything that happened since Monday.
Kyle: (shrugs again)
Yeah
Raye: (mutters)
It's a lot, okay?

Interviewer:
let's get some honesty. Raye, Kyle, Jane—how would you describe your week in one word?
Raye: (without hesitation )
Exhausting.
Kyle: (smirking )
Entertaining.
Jane: (grinning like chaos incarnate) Legendary.
Raye:( throws hands up)
Legendary?!
Jane: laughing Yes. Legendary chaos. Your text, your almost-fall, Kyle saving you, teasing Evan—this week deserves a trophy.
Kyle: (serious face )
…
it was fun.
Raye: (groans )
Ugh… maybe.
Interviewer (flips his book with a small smile before adjusting his sunglass )
Let's do random questions now , who regrets the text the most .
Raye : (raises hand immediately)
Me.!!
Absolutely me. If there was a Guinness World Record for instant regret, my face would be on the cover.
Kyle :( smirks )
Funny, because I don't regret it at all. Best thing that ever happened.
Raye :
That's because you didn't have to hide under your blanket for two weeks praying for Wi-Fi to crash worldwide.
Jane :( laughing )
I laughed my ass off when I first saw the message , funniest thing ever , Raye was worried about life and everything ..it look just good .
Raye : (glares at Jane )
Don't remind me. I already died once inside. And also, get out of my face
Interviewer:
Next question. On a scale of 1–10, how much drama do you think you caused each other?
Raye :
Eleven. Easily.
Kyle :
…Two.
Raye :
TWO?!
Excuse me, you walked around acting like the text didn't even happen while I was combusting!
Kyle :
And yet, here we are. Together. You're welcome.
Jane :
I'd like to add a solid 15, just from watching them fight like toddlers in love.
Interviewer:
Jane , always here for the fun .
(Fist bump Jane while Raye stared at them eyes and mouth wide open )
Alright, let's spice it up. If you could rewrite history, what would you send instead of that text?
Raye :
…Probably "Ignore this, wrong number .
Kyle :
I'd reply with "Too late.
Jane:
Honestly, I would've texted popcorn emojis, because watching from the sidelines was Oscar-worthy entertainment.
Interviewer :
Final round—describe the relationship in one word.
Raye :
Chaos.
Kyle :
Worth it.
Jane:
Messy… but cute, I guess.
Raye :( glares at Jane shaking her head in disappointment.
