"What's up?"
"The canteen ceiling, doofus."
"Very creative."
"Why, thank you!"
"Acknowledge the sarcasm, Michael."
"Michael? What kind of nickname is that?"
"'Cause you're the Michael to my Jackson?"
"Er, that didn't exactly swept me off my feet."
"HELP. ME."
"I am."
"Thanks. But actually, I'm going to call you Michael from now on."
"Why?"
"Avalon and I got back together."
"Oh. I guess you don't need my help anymore."
"Yet, she doesn't trust me calling a girl from the other end of the line."
"How can you be so sure that it's a girl from the other end of the line? I mean, I could be a fifty year old man that's divorced twice and finds the time to modulate his voice into a sixteen year old girl's one."

"Typical nerd retort."
"Typical stupid reply."
"Fuck you."
"You know you love me."
"I know you care."
"Just shout whenever!"
"And I'll be there!"
"You are my─ wait, why are we singing Bieber's songs?"
"Because we're secretly Beliebers that are destined to meet?"
"Highkey not happening."
"Something about you─"
"─makes me feel like a dangerous woman."
"Can you please let me finish my sentence? You're also getting under my skin."
"Nah, you also have a brain of a nerd."
"So I guess we're coequal after all?"
"Maybe."
