Alana | Jared | Ivory
"Hello?"
"Hey, Lana, I can't believe you picked up."
"Ah, shit! I should've seen the caller ID."
"No wait-don't hang up please."
"..."
"I'm sorry. I really am sorry for ignoring you when it wasn't really your fault."
"..."
"I deserve that treatment, I know. I understand if you don't want to talk to me. But, I'm willing to try and put effort into making it up to you."
*Sighs* "Fine, one chance. Don't screw it up,"
"Phew, thank you, Lana. I mean it. I won't mess up."
"You're forgiving that guy so easily? His apology voicemails barely lasted a week! You called him for a month!"
"..."
"Shush, Ivy. He can hear you. Go back to your room."
"Oi, Jared, I know you can hear me so listen carefully. If you hurt my best friend, I will toss you in Tartarus where you will rot away forever. Got that?"
"Got it! I won't hurt her, I promise."
"What did he say, Lana?"
"He said he won't hurt me."
"Good. Now that's settled, I'll leave you to it."
*Door closes*
"Sorry about her. I didn't know she was going to say something,"
"Not a problem. She's just protective of her best friend. I get it."
"So does that mean you won't be mean to me again?"
"I can promise that I won't be the hurtful mean kind of person."
"Fair enough. I can't promise that I won't annoy you."
"That's good to hear."
"Aww. Like I said before, you like me."
"But, you confessed first."
"..."
"Hey, there's no shame in that."
"Shush!"
"Is Yale girl going all shy on me now? So swee-"
Click.
"-t. Eh, I guess we're back to hanging up randomly."
