Idalia wants to send Colton a kind text. He fails his driving test that morning. She wants to cheer him up.
伊达莉亚想给科尔顿发一条暖心的短信。他那天早上驾照考试没通过。她想让他开心起来。
She opens their group chat by mistake. Six other friends are in that chat too. She does not notice the wrong window.
她不小心打开了他们的群聊。群里还有另外六个朋友。她没有注意到自己开错了窗口。
"Don't worry about the test," she types. "Try again soon. I still think you drive well."
“别担心考试，”她打道，“很快再考一次。我还是觉得你开车开得很好。”
She hits send and looks up. Then her stomach drops. She sees the chat name. It says "Friend Group," not "Colton."
她按下发送，抬起头来。然后她的心一沉。她看到了聊天名称。上面写的是“朋友群”，不是“科尔顿”。
Idalia stares at her phone in shock. Five people already read the message. Colton says nothing back.
伊达莉亚震惊地盯着手机。已经有五个人看了这条消息。科尔顿什么也没回。
Two minutes later, her phone buzzes with laughter emojis. Someone writes, "Wrong chat, Idalia?" Another friend adds three laughing faces.
两分钟后，她的手机嗡嗡响起，全是大笑的表情。有人写道：“发错群了吧，伊达莉亚？”另一个朋友又发来三个笑脸。
Idalia feels her face turn red. She quickly sends another message. "Oops! That was for Colton. Ignore me, everyone."
伊达莉亚觉得脸在发红。她赶紧又发了一条：“哎呀！那是发给科尔顿的。大家别理我。”
Colton finally replies in the group chat. "Thanks for the support," he writes. "Now everyone knows I failed. No secrets here."
科尔顿终于在群里回复了。“谢谢你的支持，”他写道，“现在人人都知道我没考过了。这里没有秘密。”
The whole group laughs, including Colton. Idalia sends him a private message this time. "Sorry about that," she writes. "Want to study together before the next test?"
整个群的人都笑了，科尔顿也笑了。这一次，伊达莉亚给他发了私信。“对不起，”她写道，“下次考试前，要不要一起复习？”
Colton sends back a thumbs-up. "Deal," he writes. "But you check the chat name first this time."
科尔顿回了一个点赞的手势。“一言为定，”他写道，“不过这回你要先看清聊天名称。”
The next week, Idalia double-checks every chat name. She still teases herself about the mistake. Colton brings it up at every game night.
下一周，伊达莉亚每次都会再三确认聊天名称。她还常常拿这件事取笑自己。科尔顿每次游戏之夜都要提起它。
