he calls.

Him: You ok?

Her: I'm not sure.

Him: I'm here for you. You know?

Her: It's just that, he was one of my very few friends. And I lost him.

Him: No.

Her: No?

Him: No. He lost you.

Her: He's better than me. She's better than me.

Him: Better? What's your definition of better. Because I know mine is: someone or something whose worth or skill is of higher quality. And that sentence sure as hell didn't make any sense.

Her: You know you're actually amazing right?

Him: Of course.

Her: And so cocky.

Him: It's who I am.

Her: Ok cocky, amazing, asshole, please distract me.

Him: From what?

Her: From going over there and telling him how I feel  then begging him to talk to me again.

Him: On it! Just answer questions about yourself.

Her: Go.

Him: What's your name?

Her: Mysty.

Him: I knew it!

Her: Idiot.

Him: Fine I'll ask something else. Do you like any sports?

Her: I like soccer. Hardcore fan and player.

Him: So you're on our soccer team?

Her: ....

Her: If your doing this just to find out who I am, I'll literally cuss you out in 10 different languages.

Him: Ok. you caught me. I won't, I promise.

Her: I'll ask questions too then.

Him: Sure.

Her: Favorite color?

Him: Grey.

Her: How colorful.

Him: I make the world bright.

Her: You sure do. 

Him: Favorite movie?

Her: A walk to remember.

Him: I love that movie!

Her: You're such a girl.

Him: No. Stop that's just so wrong. I've got abs of steel and bisceps bigger than your face. 

Her: Since you can't see me, I'm rolling my eyes. Just thought'd I'd tell you. Favorite restaurant?

Him: Anything that has pizza. You?

Her: Kelly's.

Him: That Italian restaurant?

Her: The best. You're crush?

Him: People.

Her: Huh?

Him: I like to crush people.

Her: Haha seriously, Luke.

Him: I don't think I have one.

Her: What?! You literally have the whole school to choose from.

Him: Not the whole school...

Her: Whatever you think, Luke.

Him: It's true!
