[Emily]

My favorite is Lorenzo!!

[ੈ✩‧₊˚ faithreads *ೃ༄ (inactive)]

Emily Padilla wrote: "My favorite is Lorenzo!!"

ooo yes i loved him!! i felt like it was weird with Thomas bc at the beginning he was like this super cute and sweet guy but then at the end he was more like aggressive and rude to her?? like a full personality change lol. idk if that was just me?

[Emily]

OH MY YESS, I thought I would like Thomas more because I loved him when he was introduced but he did end up being weird and aggressive. I wish I would have loved Lina more I thought she was a bit of a pick me
