Liz h8s coming rite out an' SAYING things!

This is sumthing I guess Vivian has had 2 find out the hard way. Liz doesn't wanna hafta come rite out an' SAY whatev she's thinking or deciding, esp. when it's sumthing that trubs her. U hafta work yr way thru the cluez.

So Liz told me what she an' Viv talked abt next in the convo I was tellin' U abt yesterday morning. Viv was all, "Have U signed next season's contract?" And Liz was all, "No." Viv was all, "Then yr mind is made up." Liz didn't say NEthing 2 that. She told me she wasn't gonna ever say NEthing, that she was hoping that Gary an' Vivian were gonna drop the whole "contract" ish until after Liz had gone home 4 the summer. With an offer from that school in Markham firmly in her hand. Then she'd be, like, "Oh, did I not tell U I wasn't coming back? Silly me. Slipped my mind!" But NEway, Viv went on w/"And what abt Paul? He'z already applied 4 a transfer 2 Spruce Narrowz." And Liz was, like, "I know. But, he likes Toronto, Viv. He could move down south." Viv was all, "Perhaps. If U're not coming back here 2 teach in the fall, he shd know as soon as possible. ... He's building his future around U." Liz sez the next thing she did was bury her head in2 her handz, like really, really hard! And she had this feeling Viv was having sum v. pointed thot abt her just then. When Viv came back 2 the table, Liz asked her if this was true, and Vivian sed, "Y yes! How spooky that U knew! Rite after I sed that Paul's building his future arond U, I thot that a building needs a firm foundation." And Liz sed, "Wow, that line, it's like a punny not-quite punchline. R U sure we're not rel8ed?"

So I was saying 2 Liz that Viv's got a pt. If she knowz she doesn't wanna return to Mtiglalala in the fall, she totally has 2 tell Paul so's he can cancel that transfer request. Imagine he gets it approved and he pulls up his roots 2 B in Spruce Narrows an' closer 2 Liz only 2 have Liz B all, "Oh, did I 4get 2 mention that I'm not coming back up north this fall? How 'bout U request another transfer, this time 2 Toronto. That wdn't B a prob, now wd it?" Liz got kinda defensive an' sed, "Now, April, I don't C what's wrong with that strategy! And really, Paul shd just figure out from my trail of cluez that I'm not returning 2 the north after the summer break. He should use his deductive reasoning skillz and cancel the transfer request on his own! I h8 it when ppl don't just figure these things out on their own!" Then she hung up on me. When I tried 2 call he back, I just got voicemail.
