"Hey"
"Hi! Sawyer?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"Okay, awesome. So, we've got a pretty packed schedule today, but first do you know where your snorkel is?"
"What?"
"You know the little tubey thing that you put over your face, so you can be a part-time mermaid."
"That's not exactly the definition, but I mean why do I need a snorkel?"
"Why? Well, because I have a schedule and I need to stick to that schedule and at the moment I need your help because I am short an item."
"Wait, what are you even talking about? First of all, we have school. Second of all, I thought you told me and I quote 'I get you need time'. Whatever happened to that?"
"Well, it's been a week. Plus, you didn't keep your promise."
"What promise?"
"Oh my gosh! Seriously, do promises mean nothing to you? I thought we had a blood oath, we should be closer than that."
"Okay, we've never done a blood oath, but everything is kind of hazy from that day. I don't exactly remember every promise I made."
"You promised to call me the next day and you never did. You could have run away to Florida and I would have never known."
"Florida, really? Why would I go to Florida? If I was going to run away anywhere it would obviously be to New York."
"Okay, you're probably right, but still."
"When are you planning to do this so called packed schedule? School starts in fifteen minutes. And that only leaves us with a couple hours after school before dinner."
"Oh my dear innocent and naive friend. Sawyer, we're skipping school."
"Oh, no. No, no, no. No! In all caps NO."
"C'mon, Sawyer it's just one day."
"I cannot miss school. I am already behind in my work, plus they'll put that on my record. Think about my future University they'll be like 'Oh, skipping for no valid reason. Forget about his application.' And then all my hard work will be thrown in the trash."
"I think you're over reacting just a tad. Also, just a little side question. Why are the University people talking in an extremely annoying and not to mention inaccurate British accent."
"You don't understand. This is a really big deal and maybe I want to go to school in England or maybe the people at the University are British."
"Or maybe they just hired British impersonators to make the school seem more official. Now seriously we are skipping school whether you like it or not. So, I'll meet in ten minutes outside the diner on Glenward. Okay?"
"......"
"Sawyer, you know I won't stop until you agree."

"Fine. Just stop texting those come to the dark side gifs, it's getting weird. I'll see you in ten, but I better be getting a free chocolate chip muffin out of this. Bye"
"*chuckles* Bye"
