"It's 11:11, make a wish, phone girl."
"..."
"Phone girl?"
"Yeah?"
"You okay there?"
"Yeah, I was making a wish."
"Oh, okay. So how have you been?"
"I've been good. I'm not sick anymore! Yay!!!"
"Did my gifts help any?"
"Yeah. More than you know. How've you been?"
"I...I got my GED."
"Really? That's amazing!"
"You don't think I'm like...any lesser because I'm a high school drop out?"
"No. Why would I? A GED is an equivalent to a high school diploma anyways, so that wouldn't even be a valid argument."
"Thanks phone girl for understanding."
"Lila, my name's Lila."
"Lila... that's beautiful."
