How do you write a character texting?

Because in the book that I'm reading right now the way she writes it annoys me.

She basically writes this.

A text from Sarah. U ok?
Then her reply is like this.
Wonderful. I lied. U? What are you doing?

(She literally writes her text messages with the other things that I wrote. Like 'I lied' )

The way that I write characters texting is kind of like instant messenger.. Because that's how I Phones are. All 1 huge message.

Angelina: Hey what are you doing this weekend?

Jace: Going out of town.

Anyway I'm curious how you all write texting in a story or how you would.

You could put something like this:

Angelina- Red
Jace- Blue

And write when Angelina is talking in red, and when Jace is talking in blue. (So changing the color of the font)

When you put down thoughts or things like "I lied," You can put those in black after wards.
