-i mean you missed breakfast..
- that's not important. - Britney interrupts
Alex - but you know what is?? my 'boyfriend' slept in another girl's house. he probably had fun last night. screw him!
-im sorry Britney - Alex smiles at her
- its okay i guess.. i was so stupid to get with him in the first place
-don't say that Bri - i called her BRI??

-and where's his asshole friend??
-oh Marcus? i dont really know.. but why are you on the ground..??
-i cant stand up

dead silence
- sorry, Britney.. i didn't wanna sound rude
- its okay Sage.
- no im sorry - i go to her and touch her shoulders
- i said its fine - she takes my hands off of her
- Britney, please - as i hug her from behind she wants to get out of my hug but i don't let go.
