"hi finn─

"hey mills, look i've been meaning to speak to you about something maddie told─

"yo! ever heard of the word, hello?"

"...uh, yo?"

"yeah yo, what about it?"

"wow, i'm friends with a girl who says yo. i can't believe it."

"what about it?!"

"it's just so.. cliche. like you're trying to be cool. i thought you hated that shit?"

"what can i say? i feel like contradicting myself today. so be prepared for more to come."

"again, you're weird as fuck."

"do i seem like i'm trying to be cool now?"

"no, not really i guess."

"ha! anyways, what'd you wanna ask me?"

"oh yeah! so apparently i'm named 'lover boy' by your friends and co-workers? would you care to explain to them that we're only friends?"

"oh yeah, maddie told you that? pssh, it's a bunch of bullshit. maddie hates me so don't pay attention to what she ever says, it's never legit."

"hates you? but millie she said you two are best friends?"

"a snake will be a snake, finnie."

"oh, okay well.. wait, legit?!"

"told you finnie, i'm contradicting myself today. i feel like using the typical teenage talk."

"millie, you're still a teenager."

"fine, i'll use the stupid teenage-slang. keep questioning me finnie and i might actually say yolo."

"please don't."

"what was that? i guess you only live once right? yolo!"

"that's so cringeworthy, oh my god."
