"Hey"
"Uh hi, what's up?"
"Haven't heard from you in a couple of days. Did you finally start getting your friends number right?"
"Oh, yeah."
"You're very quiet. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah everything is cool."
"Oh sorry I didn't call you back the other day. I went out to lunch again with Lilah and then she decided to drag me along while she shopped. Then, the great sister she is, made me carry all the bags. Hence why she picked up the phone not me."
"Oh that was your sister!"
"Yeah, who did you think it was?"
"I-I thought I'd actually dialled the wrong number again."
"Only you. Only you."
"Stop laughing, it's not that funny."
"It is,"
"Alright well I've got assignments to finish. Unfortunately,"
"Ugh, I feel you. These 'recommended readings' are killing me, but my teacher actually asks questions from them so we actually have to read them."
"It's a hard life."
"It is. Okay I'll let you get back to your study, laters!"
"Bye!"
(...)
"Stupid marketing mix, why did I choose business?"
