*in the car, driving along a quiet road*
"So, how did you two meet?"
Oh, god, not again.....
"Well, Mrs Jacquie, oh um....Karen, sorry, we were sitting next to each other in assembly, and we started talking......"
Whew, that went better than I thought it would.
"Oh, how nice.....I'm glad my daughter has made a friend."
*Gareth puts headphones in*
"Whatcha listening to?"
"Uh......a bit of panic! At the disco.....do you want to listen?"
*Luna takes the earbud*
"Hm, that's pretty good, I like it."
*Luna hands the earbud back*
"I'm glad you like it."
*The rest of the journey is spent in silence, and when they get to Luna's house, Gareth takes her to the door*
"Well, aren't you a gentleman."
She doesn't realise how much that means to me.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow, at school, yeah?"
"Luna.......thanks, for today."
"Oh, no problem, happy to help."
*Luna goes inside, Gareth waves goodbye, and walks back to the car*
"Oh, she's a little darling isn't she?"
"I guess, she's my friend, so I wouldn't really say that about her."
