"Hey! Ana here. Sorry I couldn't get to the phone. I'm most likely reading a book or studying right now. Hopefully, I remember to call you back."
"Okay. I'll try not to sound extremely excited. The principal randomly wanted me to try out advanced classes and in chemistry, I was partnered up with you. I was terrified, I won't lie to you. I was waiting for the pen to drop and you tell the teachers that I had to be switched with someone else. But that didn't happen. You seemed...happy? Correct me if I'm wrong. The project lasts three weeks. Three weeks of just you and me. I'll find a way to talk about things other than school to you. Now, excuse me. I need to go research my life away so I can at least understand some of the smart shit you say."
"Message sent."
