“You need to knock it off” Tyler said. “Caroline doesn’t want te anymore, so te can stop with the annoying taxes”
“What taxes? Tyler, I have no idea what you’re talking about” Matt said.
Tyler pulled out his phone and showed Matt the tax he just got.
“Dude, that’s not even my number” Matt said.
“I know it’s hard to see me and Caroline together, but recitazione like a jealous ex-boyfriend isn’t going to put te back in her good books. So I think it’s best for both of us if te would just knock it off” Tyler threatened. He let go of Matt and left the restroom, leaving Matt dumbfounded.
