[there's a beat where he stares at his message and realizes it’s too short, especially compared to how cheerful the initial response is. He doesn’t want Junie to think he’s an asshole.]
sorry, skyler chen, but skye for short
[ok that’s probably not much better but he Tried.]
sorry, it was all pretty sudden i think my dad’s family pulled a lot of strings to get me in.
[and he’s not super happy about it tbh, but it is what it is.]
um i need to work on magic. like all of it. i mean i learned a few basic charms from my mom i can keep a ghost from entering my room? but beyond that… i was focused on other things.
thank goodness it worked!! i know i would be a horrible person without my beauty rest 😳 you have to be careful tho using magic around spirits because there are some not so nice ones that feed off of it!! you're really lucky!
[apparently it has made him extremely awkward. yay.]
i don’t know if it was luck. my mom was good at charms, it was kind of her thing. she had a lot of clients come to her for help with spirits and warding off bad energy and that sort of thing. i always thought a lot of them were just being paranoid, but i guess it made them feel better.
ooooh so i bet she passed that on to you 😊😊 that's good, we have somewhere to start then! with a lil bit of work we can get you to your ✨ full potential ✨!!
[he is not entirely convinced, actually. he doesn’t remember learning those charms coming super easily to him. then again, it was a long time ago and things change, right?]
i have my mondays thru thursdays jam packed with classes and club meetings so i have fridays all day off! if you have any free time in your schedule, maybe we could meet then for coffee or tea or whatever suits your fancy ☺️☺️
let's do friday ✨ there may or may not be a house party happening off campus on friday night if i don't entirely exhaust you with my tutoring skills first 👀 but you didn't hear it from me... 👀👀👀
[pls he is a simple boy, he doesn’t want to ruffle feathers or make any enemies. his dad's family is weird enough as is (which might mean other people won’t want to make an enemy of him but he hasn’t figured that out yet)]
