"two more days."
"i know."
"two more. it hasn't fully sunk in yet for me."
"mikey, don't fret about it too much."
"i'm not. i'm just- wow. it passed by so quick."
"i know what you mean."
"i swear just yesterday i was going to high school for the first day."
"i'm kinda scared of what comes next, if i'm being honest."
"lu, you have most of your life sorted out though."
"eh, not really."
"okay fine. but you have more than me. you have the daycare, then more schooling, then graduating that. then you'll probably go into a career that you'll love that relates to one of your many degrees by then. oh! what do you want to do, by the way?"
"uh, i kinda want to be a teacher? i can still change it, but at the same time i don't want to."
"how old? 'cause you'd barely be out of your teens when you even start teaching."
"probably young kids. it's still up in the air, but i like little kids, so i'm leaning towards that."
"i think you'll do fine with whatever you want to do."
"really?"
"really."
"oh. wow. i'm- i'm flattered. thank you."
"you're welcome. i'm just fine working at the record shop, and if i'm not happy in the future i could probably take online classes. everything's still up in the air. my life is officially less sorted than yours."
"fair enough."
"good luck on your next exams, by the way. you'll do great."
"you too. don't forget to sleep tonight and eat breakfast tomorrow. it's very important."
"what are you, my mum? i'm joking. i will. take care of yourself tonight, okay lu? take your own advice."
"noted. call me tomorrow?"
"yeah."
"okay, 'night."
"'night lu."
