She calls.
Her: Drama. Drama. Drama.
Him: It sucks.
Her: Especially for you.
Him: You heard?
Her: Of course I did. The whole school's talking about it.
Him: I honestly don't understand you people. It's not like our lives are episodes of Gossip Girl.
Her: What's that?
Him: Wait you don't know?
Her: No duh Einstein.
Him: It's a show.
Her: You watch a show named Gossip Girl [laughs]
Him: Shut up Mysty. I don't. My sister does.
Her: Oh, your perfect bitchy sophmore sister.
Him: Hey she's not.
Her: Luke.
Him: Fine. But it's just a phase.
Her: A horrible phase that's lasted for forever.
Him: I tell her to stop.
Her: I just don't understand how you two are related.
Him: I know. I just look so much better. It's astonishing.
Her: Say that to her mulitple boyfriends. 5 at the same time was her record right?
Him: [laughs] Once they all found out about eachother they had this five way fight for her.
Her: Boys are idiots. Fight for people who are worth it.
Him: Everyone's worth it to someone. Someone out there will find you so special to them that the'll never want to let you go. They'll stay up all night thinking of you. They'll do anything to keep that smile on your face. You'll be everything.
Everyone will have that one day. There will always be someone out there who will love you one day.
Her: I guess?
But her... Sorry for bashin on your sister by the way. And I'm only saying that because she's your sister. I don't actually give a crap about her.
Him: So you give a crap about me?
Her: Luke. Shut up.
Him: [sing song voice] Mysty goves a crap about me. Mysty gives a crap about me.
Her: LUKE.
Him: [laughs] But honestly she's not that bad if you actually get to know her. She's misunderstood.
Her: Oh trust me. She's given me many unwanted oppertunities to get to know her.
Him: What?
Her: Oh n-no it's nothing.
Him: Mysty? Just what have you gone through?
Her: Obviously not what you went through with Jane this morning.
Him: Stop avoiding things.
Her: Stop telling me what to do.
Him: Fine.
Her: Good. Back to you, Matt, and Jane.
Him: I thought it was all for a bet. Yet the moment he finds out she likes me, he's telling me to stay away from her! She's like one of my best girl friends!
Her: Told you he's a douche.
Him: Now I see what you mean. I can't believe I thought he was cool before.
Her: That's because your too trusting, Luke. You've always been too trusting.
Him: And you're not?
Her: I learned a long time ago that trust is nothing but an illusion, a denial of the inevitable betrayal that is about to come.
Him: ...
Her: ...
Him: Just what happened to you, Mysty... Who the hell are you?
Her: No one you'd want to know. I'd corrupt your trusting mind.
Him: What if I wanted it to be corrupted?
Her: ...
She hangs up.
Dedicated to absolutely_crazy because her last chapter's comment made my smile stretch far past what I thought was remotely possible xx
