"Mate,"
"Uh mate?"
"Oh you're not Jake..."
"Yeah his voice is a little deeper than mine hey? He's in the shower at the moment, anything I can help with?"
"Nah it's all good, this is Lilah then?"
"This is she, is this the famous Reyna?"
"Oh I'm famous, how mysterious."
"Don't know if that's the word I'd use but okay, cool."
"Eh, I'm cool like that."
"You're funny, I like you."
"Awe thanks, you seem really cool too."
"So how's your day going?"
"Pretty good actually. Going out to visit our parents grave today. And Jake takes forever to get ready!"
"I do not! Who you talking to?"
"Reyna, now hurry up and finish getting ready."
"Oh, if you guys are busy. I'll just call back later."
"No, no that's fine. I need someone to gossip about Jake with,"
"Lilah! No gossiping. That goes for you too Rey!"
"Me gossip? Never."
"Really, and how is it that all my friends from high school knew I got a chopstick stuck in my ear when I was six?"
"Shit, Reyna didn't hear that did she?"
"I heard that. Man that's fantastic, I'm never going to let him live that down."
"Yeah she heard you,"
"Ugh, for the record it was your idea. You were supposed to be the older more responsible one,"
"I'm only two years older than you!"
"Still, anyways I'm ready now. You good to go?"
"Yeah, it was nice talking to you Reyna. We can gossip about Jake another time."
"Sure thing, have a good day guys"
"Thanks, bye!"
"Bye Rey! I'll call you tonight."
"Bruh, did you have to yell in my ear? I'm sure your girlfriend can hear you just fine talking normally"
"I didn't yell in your ear-"

"Well that was different..."
"Wait, girlfriend?"
