Status Updates From Freddie and Stella Got Hot

Oh page 145 line 3.

“Now let go of me before you make Freddie jealous.”

“I’m not jealous,” I say, and mean it. “The way she hugs me is very different from that.”

Stella chokes. “Jesus, Freddie, okay.

bahahhah

“Plus, maybe this will finally put an end to the two solid years of sulking I’ve had to put up with. My god, you girls can pine.”

“It’s a cultural thing,” Ramona pipes up. “Our people are very proud of our pining.”


true 🤝🤝

“I don’t want her to think that I’m on her side, because I’m not. But you’ve got to be kidding me if you think that I’m on your side. I mean, Jesus Christ, it would be fucking awesome if someone would bother to be on my side in all of this.”

fredddddie 😭😭😭😭

“I lean almost all the way in, so our noses are touching but our mouths aren’t quite, yet.

“Shut up,” I say.

Levi’s smile is so big I can even see it when we’re this close up and blurry. “Oh, are you looking for your movie moment? Do you want me to say, Make me?”


yes. please.

“This is so different that it feels like the first two didn’t count at all, like they were totally different things. My first kisses were handshakes compared to this.”

funniest comparison

the tension between them is so delicious for real

“I can’t help but add, “Man, fuck Stella.”

“I mean, yeah, that probably could have avoided all of this.”

“Levi!”


levi is so unexpectedly funny

“Tell me or I’ll assume you were in love with me,” I joke, singsong.

“Oh my god,” Levi says, sounding agonized now. She pulls the neck of her hoodie up over her face and I realize what she’s saying.

“Oh,” I say.

🫠🫠

“Levi tries coming to my defense again. “It matters more that she’s helping to shut it down now.”

“Matters more to you,” Seema says. “Now that you have a convenient excuse to get rid of Stella forever and keep Freddie at the same time.”

“Seema.”

“Oh no, was I not supposed to say that?” she asks mockingly.”


I KNEW SOMETHING INSANE WAS HAPPENING

“If you asked me, I’d say I have no problem being alone with my thoughts, but I actually think that anyone who says that and means it should be studied by science and also maybe put in federal prison. Alone? With my thoughts? Absolutely not.”

very real

“Levi’s eyes widen. She looks mad mad, like punch-a-hole-in-the-wall, blow-up-the-world mad. She leans down so she’s right in my face when she says, “If you think for one fucking second that I would have chosen to leave you behind, then you can’t be that smart.”

that is….hot

“Intense is pretty much Levi’s default state, when it comes to the things she wants.”

“I don’t know how both sides can exist at the same time, me looking for Levi in every room but wanting her to leave once I find her.”

EVERYONE knows something is up except freddie

levi is so cute and extremely misunderstood
