12-25-19: 12:18am

No more braces sorry

12-25-19: 12:27am

Damn

12-25-19: 12:27am

Andrew from Camp

Still get watch tan lines every summer though

12-25-19: 12:32am

Did you dig up my number just to let me know about your braces? Or lack thereof?

12-25-19: 12:37am

Andrew from Camp

No

There was a point to this I swear

I just need to remember it

12-25-19: 12:48am

Don’t strain yourself ;)

12-25-19: 12:48am

Andrew from Camp

Sorry had to get more spiked eggnog

12-25-19: 12:51am

Oo drunk confessions on Christmas?

I’m debating if I should be concerned or intrigued

​

12-25-19: 12:52am

Andrew from Camp

Not concerned

I just spent the entire day watching cheesy christmas movies with my sister

She’s the best, she’s eleven and I can’t tell her no

And they’re all so damned happy and cheerful and I can’t stand them normally

12-25-19: 1:01am

You texted me… to tell me you hate Christmas movies

This is the weirdest conversation I’ve ever had, Brace-less Andrew from camp

12-25-19: 1:05am

Andrew from Camp

None of this is coming out right

Just

12-25-19: 1:10am

Are you typing a novel lol

You’re making me nervous

12-25-19: 1:17am

Andrew from Camp

These movies keep saying how christmas is supposed to bring people together, right?

Or you’re supposed to be with loved ones on Christmas or something

And I wanted to let you know that you’ve ruined Sweet Caroline for me

12-25-19: 1:18am

Uh

I’m sorry?

12-25-19: 1:23am

Andrew from Camp

This isn’t coming out right

You’ve ruined that damned song

Which plays in ever bar basically ever, every time I go out

​

12-25-19: 1:23am

I mean it’s a classic …

I didn’t realize I sucked that bad at singing tho

12-25-19: 1:23am

Andrew from Camp

And every time I hear it I think of you

And how I never texted you when camp ended even though I got your number after that

bonfire

I got it before we even did karaoke actually

But then I lost my nerve and you were so pretty

And I was so afraid

And now three years later I can’t hear that song without thinking of you and how your

smile made my heart flip

Flip

Flip

Like that

​

12-25-19: 1:25am

Andrew from Camp

I dont like, this is is going anywhere

There’s no pressure here

Just

I needed you to know that you’re the one that got away for someone you know

For me

12-25-19: 2:36am

Andrew from Camp

Sorry if that was weird

Take care and have a great life, Jamie from camp

I hope that you have a million more karaoke nights in your future

1-18-20: 12:08am

1-19-20: 10:14am

Andrew from Camp

You remember right

1-19-20: 12:17pm

1-19-20: 1:03pm

Andrew from Camp
