"...Hello?"
"Do you have time to help me with my History homework?"
"Jace? Finally. I was trying to apologize all day today at school! You had to act all 'I'm popular so bow down to me' and looked at me as if I was a piece of trash."
"I'm having a problem with a few questions-"
"Cut it out. We need to talk."
"About what? We're not friends."
"I never said we were. I was just trying to apologize."
"I don't care about what you have to say unless it's about our deal. Right now, all I want from you is to help me with my history homework."
"...Fine. I can do that. Sorry for trying to be nice to you. If I knew that what I said would affect you this much, I wouldn't have never said it. Wait, maybe I would have just to piss you off. I was wrong. I don't know if you're grateful or not. I don't know you at all. I was just glad you actually went out of your way to actually get something for me. It says a lot."
"...You're right."
"...What?"
"I said you're right."
"Say that again. One million times."
"You're the most annoying person I ever met."
"I hate to say it, but I'm glad the normal you is back."
"Same here. Now, please help me. I'm desperate here."
