Chapter 1119: Paradise Princesses: The Morning After
[PARADISE PRINCESSES - PRIVATE]
[09:02 AM]
Maddie: roll call. who survived last night
Priya: barely
Yuki: my feet are filing a lawsuit
Gianna: I’m still full. the catering was a religious experience
Zara: three separate gossip channels have already posted "inside the most exclusive birthday on the island" with zero actual photos. we starved the vultures. proud of us
Natasha: can we talk about the birthday girl
Natasha: because I have QUESTIONS
Maddie: oh you mean the birthday girl who took one look at her presents, saw a midnight PcLaren, and ABANDONED HER OWN PARTY
Priya: LMAO she really left
Zara: if she wanted a car reveal that badly she could’ve called us. Preston Media does beautiful unveilings. we’d have given her a drone shot
Yuki: no goodbye. no speech. taillights.
Gianna: we didn’t know you liked cars that much babe?? you could’ve said something?? we’d have gotten you keychains??
Clara: In her defense, it was a very beautiful machine.
Jade: the way she walked past ALL of us like we were furniture 💀
Maddie: furniture she was fond of. she nodded at me
Priya: What about the Dean. THE Dean. dressed like she was there to end bloodlines
Gianna: ivory silk should be illegal actually
Jade: even the hidden guards got nervous and they’re not supposed to exist
Maddie: a beautiful nightmare and her winged shadow walk into a party. sounds like a joke. wasn’t one
Clara: Whatever one thinks of the Dean, that was couture worn correctly. My grandmother would have stood up.
Natasha: and Adriana?? amber your mother looked INCREDIBLE
Amber: she really did 🥹 she was nervous about the dress too
Priya: nervous?? she looked like the reason the word elegant was invented
Jade: she and Roxanne standing together was a whole era. two queens.
Yuki: Roxanne in that gown... sierra your mom is genuinely one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in real life
Sierra: I’ll tell her. she’ll pretend it’s nothing and then glow for a week
Zara: Roxanne and Adriana together was the single most photographable moment of the night and no camera was allowed near it. criminal. history will mourn
Gianna: and Melissa 😭 the warmth on that woman. she hugged me and I almost told her my all secrets
Maddie: that’s our Queen for you, she could run a country with that smile. possibly does
Clara: The mothers won the night. Respectfully. It was not close.
Natasha: agreed. we were decoration. they were history
Amber: OKAY but different mystery. who was the hot girl standing with the old man and that boy all night??
Priya: THE ONE BY THE SERVICE SIDE?? I noticed her too
Yuki: sharp eyes. stood like a blade. gorgeous in a way that felt classified
Gianna: the old man is the hotel manager, right, Maddie?? and the boy looked related. same posture. same everything
Jade: family then. but WHO IS SHE
Natasha: more importantly. did anyone else catch Phei checking her out
Priya: I DID
Yuki: I SAW IT. one full scan. head to heels. subtle but I have trained eyes
Amber: he’s SHAMELESS. at a birthday. surrounded by all of us. still scanning
Maddie: babe the man breathes and it counts as flirting. she felt it too. she moved like three feet away after
Gianna: SHE FELT IT LMAOOO
Clara: The poor woman repositioned herself behind her father. Tactical retreat.
Priya: tactical retreat?? babe she nearly became a historical casualty
Natasha: honestly if Phei ever looks at me like that in public I’m suing for emotional damages
Elena: Please. You would frame the lawsuit and hang it above your bed.
Natasha: and?
Gianna: shameless. accurate. concerning.
Priya: speaking of success stories... VICTORIA.
Priya: congratulations on your achievements with Phei babe 👏👏
Yuki: CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
Gianna: a toast to the glow-up of the CENTURY
Zara: we should do a segment on it honestly. "enemies to orbit: a paradise story"
Natasha: a month ago you two were at each other’s throats. you nearly DIED. and now look at you. thriving in his orbit
Maddie: from cold war to warm everything
Victoria: I did not "nearly die."
Victoria: And there are no "achievements." We coexist.
Jade: "we coexist" she says. babe we SAW you last night
Priya: the way you watched him across the hall was NOT coexisting
Zara: that was surveillance with feelings
Victoria: I am leaving this chat.
Maddie: you say that weekly and yet 😌
Victoria: I am not glowing.
Maddie: babe your dignity has a halo now
Jade: your denial is wearing perfume
Victoria: I dislike all of you.
Elena: You dislike us with suspiciously improved skin.
Natasha: anyway. different question. and I need everyone to be honest
Natasha: was it just me or did Phei pay a LOT of attention to Jade last night
Priya: IT WASN’T JUST YOU
Yuki: oh we ALL saw it
Gianna: personally welcomed at the door?? hand extended?? "princess"??
Clara: he did NOT greet the rest of us at the door I’m just saying
Gianna: Jade what are your secrets. spill
Priya: what did you DO
Jade: or maaaaybe I’m just more beautiful than all of you and he has eyes? 😌
Elena: Take that back.
Jade: I will not
Elena: Take it back or I’m getting the measuring tape.
Priya: OH IT’S HAPPENING
Priya: MEASURING WHAT EXACTLY
Clara: beauty apparently. like normal people. very scientific. definitely not unhinged.
Gianna: no no let them cook. I want data.
Natasha: "Park vs Ashford: the curve audit"
Clara: Absolutely not.
Maddie: absolutely yes. democracy demands it.
Jade: measuring tape?? babe bring a mirror, save yourself the trip
Elena: I have a mirror. It agrees with me. Politely but firmly.
Gianna: place your bets. Park vs Ashford. beauty war. no survivors
Natasha: jade has the elegance
Priya: elena has the face card that never declines
Clara: For the record, you are both stunning and this debate is beneath you—
Elena: Stay out of it, Clara.
Clara: Understood.
Jade: don’t worry clara. some of us don’t need measurements. some of us cause reactions on sight.
Elena: Reactions can be allergic.
Jade: jealousy is not an allergy.
Elena: It does make people swell.
Priya: ELENA???
Sierra: 🚬
Priya: ...
Yuki: okay I don’t want to state the obvious
Yuki: but that emoji is Sierra saying "debate all you want bitches, but he chose me first, no matter how beautiful y’all are"
Maddie: THAT’S MY GIRL
Gianna: the AUDACITY of one single emoji
Natasha: sierra get over yourself we ALL know how it started 💀
Priya: we were THERE
Jade: the whole academy knows how it started babe
Sierra: 🤷♀️
Sierra: and yet here I am. forever the second woman, and the first of you lots or any girl in his harem.
Yuki: "forever the second woman" she’s not even mad about it
Maddie: she’s SETTLED in it. decorated. hung curtains
Elena: The confidence is genuinely upsetting.
Jade: fine. FINE. moving on before her ego needs its own group chat
Priya: oh no no no we are NOT moving on. elena. ELENA.
Priya: you think we forgot the KISS
Yuki: THE KISS
Gianna: on the LIPS. in front of the DEAN. in front of EVERYONE
Natasha: ladies. official announcement. the Little Virgin Succubus has joined the battle officially. govern yourselves accordingly
Maddie: sound the alarms 🚨 she’s been in training her whole life and she’s chosen violence
Elena: Fine. Between us? I don’t intend to hold the Virgin part of that title much longer anyway.
Natasha: ELENA ASHFORD
Yuki: THE AUDACITY. SHE JUST SAID IT
