Emily was surprised to receive a message from RoboCat on the first day of school. He had been avoiding her for months and that had hurt more than she would have thought it could considering they didn't actually know each other. She wasn't about to let him off easy after hurting her like that.
She responded to his sheepish message of 'hey' with a gif of someone awkwardly waving tersely. 'Look who decided to show up'
'Yeah, about that…would you believe I've been so busy I've hardly remembered to sleep?'
'No'
'It does sound like a pretty lame excuse. But I've actually been working on making a game for people's phones all summer. It kind of took over my life'
Emily's anger ebbed away and curiosity took its place. 'A game? What kind of game? You've never mentioned that you make games before'
