"Well, you fell for my so called 'juvenile' prank."
"Shut your mouth."
"Anyways, aren't you at school?"
"Yep. I'm skipping."
"Why?"
"Because... reasons."
"Hm, vague."
"Where are you right now?"
"School. At lunch specifically."

"Hi there."

"Jo, open the stall door!"
"Never! Anyways, Cal. What are your intentions with my best friend?"
"Uhm..."
"Don't answer her! Hang up, Cal!"
"Shush, best friend. I won't disclose any personal info, cool your jets."
"..."
"Oof... damn, (muffles) no need to be so possessive!"
"I'm guessing she got in the stall?"
"You guessed right! Gotta go!"
"Bye?"
