"Hello, this is the Teenage Helpline. Please feel free to confess anything you want. We will always stay by your side and do our best to support you!"

"Where's Leigh?"

"Her shift ended 2 minutes ago. She's still here though. Would you like me to call her over?"

"No! No. It's fine. I know."

"Uh, why didn't you call sooner?"

"I don't know."

"... Who are you, by the way? Are you that Colton dude she keeps talking to?"

"Uh, I'm Colton alright, but I don't think..."

"Aww, don't be shy. Leigh is awesome. You should be happy she's spending so much time talking to you."

"Huh [short laugh]. That I'm not sure about."

"Okay then..."

"Sorry, I must've annoyed the hell outta you. What's your name?"

"I'm Fleur Calhoun. Leigh's co-worker, a.k.a the good twin."

"You sure?"

"I'm as pure as Raziel. But okay, whatever you've got to say, say it. I know you called for a reason, bro. If you didn't miss her, you wouldn't have called at all. And what's with the timing? Next time, please be less obvious."

"Wow. Okay. So straightforward."

"Yeah yeah. Spill - I'm so ready for some gossip."

"Huh [laughs]. Question: what's the worst thing a guy can say to a girl?"

"There are loads. Depends on the girl's personality, too."

"Can you just give me an example? Like, maybe if they're close friends."

" 'K... 'Oh, I found this girl, ABC-blah-di-blah, and she's so cool!' And then begin ranting about the other girl."

"Is that like, the worst thing?"

"It can get pretty traumatizing, yeah. But it's even worse when the girl likes the guy."

"Oh. Fuck. [scuffles]."

"Hey, wait! Why..."

[Click.]

"..."

"Ohhh... Well, fuck indeed."
