"Didn't you miss me?" She whispered hopefully.
"I missed Kristine, you don't look like her" He answered coldly.
"It's been eight years, people change, Ace"
"Why would you change yourself when you were already perfect?"
"Well, I'm sorry that you liked me better then, that she was perfect and I am not. But your ten-years-old best friend isn't coming back, so maybe you should just leave"
"I don't pine after memories, Kristy, I'm just not fond of these fake smiles and manipulative ways you bear nowadays"
"W-what are you talking about?"
"I know you, Kristine, don't forget that"
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"For noticing"

"What are you watching?" She asked.
"What the heck!" He cried out.
"I don't think I've heard of that movie"
"You can't just break into my room like that!"
"It isn't a break in when your window was already open"
"Only a burglar would say that"
"Oh shoot, I'm busted, too bad I forgot my balaclava"
"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"
"Only a pretentious douche would say that"
"Well guess we've both revealed our secret identities now"
"Yeah, so what are you watching?"
"Order of the phoenix"
"Oh right, I almost forgot you were a secret Harry Potter geek"
"I'm not a geek! It's just really good"
"All right, I get it, little nerd"
"I'm five inches taller than you"
"Yes but my level of maturity is a million inches higher than yours"
"Okay, princess"
"So... I didn't think you were talking to me" He continued hesitantly.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because you've ignored me ever since our talk up on the roof"
"I seem to have done that, yes"
"Why?"
"I was, um, afraid"
"Of what?"
"I can't tell you"
"Why not? You can trust me, you know"
"I wish I could"
"I wish you could too"
"I don't want to talk about this"
"Okay, do you want to watch the movie with me?"
"Sure"

"Your room contains a number of books three libraries stacked together couldn't achieve" He stated.
"Jesus Christ!" She screamed.
"I think you've been mistaken, I'm his father"
"Ugh, you hypocrite!"
