Dorothy 'Dotty' Nolan sat in her living room listening to her father talk endlessly on the phone to many different people due to him being the director of a new film that was yet to be filmed. He was discussing the casting with the casting manager and then where filming would be and other dates and statistics, simply a load of waffle to his daughter. She had been waiting three hours for her friend, Anna to reply to her text message about what was happening.

Her father was taking Dotty along to the filming of his movie as she needed to 'get out of the house more'. Even though she hardly was in the house at all.

This meant that she had to tell her friend so that she didn't ring her up at stupid o'clock to discuss what she wanted her and Dotty to do that day. You see Anna, didn't care what the time was or if Dotty was busy, she just phoned her or texted her whenever and wherever she was. And to be frank whilst being in France, Dotty didn't what to rack up her phone bills.

Text message:
Sorry, I think you have the wrong number I am not Anna.

Dotty:

I'm so sorry. That must be why I haven't got a reply. It's weird I didn't even type in her number, it's already saved. She only got a new phone yesterday.

Text message:

Aha, it's alright. You may have saved her number wrong. I'm Fionn by the way.

Dotty:

I'm Dotty, I'm sorry again. It was nice to accidentally text you, I guess.

Dotty saved the boy's name into her phone for some strange reason, deleting it as being Anna's, even though she knew she would never need it because they would never message again. Or so she thought. 

Fionn:

Nice name. Like I said it's fine. It would be nice to talk to someone new. 

Dotty:

You want to continue to text?

Fionn:

Sure, I mean, it's not like we know anything else except each other's first names and number. It's like we met in a club.

Dotty:

That's true. So how's life Fionn?

Fionn:

It's life I suppose. Has it's ups and downs. What about yours?

Dotty:

The same to be honest. Very hectic some of the time XD. 

Fionn:

What are you doing? Like currently, if you know what I mean.

Dotty:

I'm texting you, eavesdropping on my dad's phone calls, unintentionally (he is in the same room as me) and watching youtube. I don't know how I started watching music videos now I am onto how to make ice cream. You?

Fionn:

Texting you and responding to emails and phone calls, because the popular life chose me... I'm kidding it's a job I have recently got there is a lot of I don't know what to call it, backing information? Does that make sense?

Dotty:

Perfect sense. Question, how old are you?
