joanne: so...

lark: are we just going to sit here silently like yesterday?

joanne: well, it's not my fault. normally conversations between my friends and i come naturally!

lark: is this your way of telling me i'm not normal?

joanne: no one is normal. normal is a useless word.

lark: wow, this moment is really similar to those stupid, cliché moments in romance movies.

joanne: except in the world, a romance between two females would be frowned upon. also i'm straight.

lark: so you've said.

joanne: ...so...

lark: do you have any special someone in your life?

joanne: i don't, not at the moment.

lark: ever had one?

joanne: yeah, for a week two years ago. ended on good terms, though.

lark: oh, cool, why don't you have a boyfriend now?

joanne: i... don't know. i guess, i never cared for one and besides, no one bothered to ask me.

lark: are you sure? because you're gorgeous and the teenage boys must be lining up.

joanne: yeah, thanks for the compliment. you're stunning as well, blondie.

lark: why, thank you.

joanne: i gotta get going, bye!

lark: don't sound so excited.

joanne: my goodness, bye.
