Snapchat Messages
charlie
SEE
he does like todd
i told u
knox
i hate when youre right
charlie
what friends are posting each other to gold rush and cowboy like me by taylor
NONE
because theyre not friends theyre lovers
thats boyfriend activities
knox
todds story to cowboy like me is so cute though!!!!
charlie
yes knox obviously
i dont need to be told that
knox
just making sure
:-)
charlie
next thing theyre probs gonna post each other to lover but no guys its okay!! theyr just bros!!
knox
just guys being dudes <3
charlie
just gays into dudes
knox
more accurate lmaooo
charlie
even pitts thought they were fr dating
knox
pitts is clueless pretty much 24/7 though
charlie
he doesnt play abt his radios though
thats some smart ppl sh*t
knox
neil is also academically smart
and simultaneously oblivious
charlie
unfortunately true
u need to update the timeline on the 5 stages doc
knox
omg!!! ur right
its a new era
charlie
i wouldnt get too excited
the next stages r exhausting
knox
denial is alwayssss the worst lmao
charlie
lord help us
knox
do you think todd likes him back??
charlie
very clearly
neither of them are subtle
‘u posted me to gold rush so im gonna post u to cowboy like me’ doesnt exactly scream subtle
or maybe thats just me
knox
lmaoo
at least we’re suffering for a good cause!!
they both like each other!!!
charlie
id rather js not be involved
no suffering for me and a happy couple by the end
knox
thats such a lie
youre too nosy to stay out of it
charlie
curiosity is just a burden i must bare im afraid
knox
how tragic!!
btw
neil has been listening to begin again on loop
charlie
of course he has
knox
seventeen times in a row so far!
charlie
hes officially broken his record
and the stakes r now officially higher
knox
woohoo…
great news…
charlie
we need to speed run the next 4 stages
knox
what if theres a sixth stage!!??
charlie
force him to confess before that can happen
duh
knox
a lot easier said than done
charlie
do not doubt my influence knoxious
knox
not for a second charlie
charlie
i can hear ur sarcasm and its not appreciated
knox
neither are your blatant lies
i do not appreciate those
charlie
theyr lies w that attitude
knox
fml
charlie
denial is easy to speed run okay good cop bad cop
knox
never knew you to go one step at a time
charlie
f*ck no
i dont
ive already thought everything thru
its just for ur benefit
knox
of course
great
charlie
that’s the spirit
knox
