"Um, hello?"

"Mother of klunk, you're British."

"Who's this?"

"Oh, sorry. It's, um, Thomas."

"Oh. Okay, wow. Hi, Tommy."

"Hi, Newt. Sorry for being weird and all."

"S'no problem."

"Cool."

"..."

"...say something, Tommy."

"Ha?"

"I'm not good at this. I'm not good with small talk."

"Oh. Okay. Um, actually, me neither."

"..."

"How did your game go last Saturday?"

"Ha. Bloody well. We won by 10 points."

"Whoa. That's..."

"Amazing, right?"

"Right. Amazing."

"Minho scored most of the points."

"Mhm. How about you? How many points did you score?"

"Eh. I was mostly there for, you know, moral support."

"Benchwarmer, then?"

"It's December, Tommy. The benches are everything but warm."

"Cuddle up with your team mates, then. I'm sure your guys wouldn't mind."

"Haha. Very funny."

"Well, I do try sometimes."

"Of course you do."

"...oh, that reminds me. You said you had an emergency, right?"

"...Riiiiiiight."

"Is it important?"

"...Yeeeeeeaah."

"Care to talk about it?"

"...Yeeeeeeeees."

"Bloody hell, Tommy. Stop acting like a dweeb and get your words out properly."

"Oh. Um. Sorry."

"Apology not accepted until you tell me what happened. What's with all the bloody caps lock earlier in your letter?"

"Well, you see..."

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?!"

"HAHAHA! Sorry, Tommy, it's just...HAHAHAHAHA."

"Laugh at everything I say, Newt. Laugh at everything but THIS."

"I'm sorry, it's just--bloody crazy. HAHA. How did you end up accidentally signing up for the Gay-Straight Alliance again?"

"I told you, their sign-up sheet was right next to the Winter Commitee's. It's like they were purposely trying to make people accidentally stumble and sign up on their sheet!"
