"Hi."

"Oh.. Hi, Austyn."

"So, how are you..?"

"I'm good. Yourself?"

"Yeah, I'm good."

"Cool..."

"...What are you reading?"

"Oh, this? Just poetry stuff.."

"Uh, cool.."

"This is less awkward when Lottie is here."

"Ha, yeah."

"She's our comedy relief as Skakespeare would say."

"..."

"Skakespeare? No? Uhm.. Okay."

"Tell me about him."

"About Skakespeare?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, well, uh.."

"Does he write poetry?"

"Yeah, yeah he does."

"Cool. To be honest, I haven't read poetry in ages, but when I did, I read Edgar Allan Poe."

"My second favorite."

"What's your favorite poem by him?"

"Probably the Raven. Even though it is the most popular, it's still appealing."

"Hmm. Mine too. What about Shakespeare?"

"Well, I like his Midsummer's Dream, and his Romeo and Juliet play."

"He wrote Midsummer's Dream?"

"Unless I'm wrong, which doesn't really happen."

"Heh. Well, then I guess I have had heard of him."

"I'm gonna say. We learn about this in like, 9th grade."

"This is all very interesting. Just like you, Kendal."

"Glad you think so."
