"Whoah, I'm drowning."
"What? What are you talking about? Who the hell are y—"
"Did you know your eyes are honey colored?"
"Wha— yes! I do know what my eye color is, thank you very mu—"
"Hey— are you Mars? Because, you're so full of carbon dioxide that you take my breath away."
"What are yo—"
"Did you know that Mars is also called the Red Planet, which coincidentally is the color of your eyes right now because you're mad at me?"
"I do no—"
"Yes! Of course you do know your eyes are reddish when you're mad, yeah, yeah, I gathered— did you also know that Mars temperature ranges from negative 153 degree to 20 degree which explains why you're very cool? Bet you didn't know that."

"What— damn it! That was because of the dusty books I got from the top shelves just now."
"Here, let me just brush if off of you—"
"Hey, don't touch my hair! Just tell me where it is, you cre—"
"Huh, fine. There is no need for name-calling, there, it was somewhere at the right side of your head."
"Creep."
"Hey, I said no name calling! Oh! Also, did you know pieces of Mars occasionally fell on earth? Which explains why a little piece of you made its way to my heart."
