Jewel: I called you three times yesterday! What happened to you?
Andrew: I tried to call you back but you didn't answer. I'm sorry, I just wasn't feeling well.
Jewel: I was worried about you. We usually don't talk for maybe more than two days, but it's been a week. You hadn't called or text or anything.
Andrew: I didn't know you cared so much.
Jewel: You're my friend now, of course I care. It kinda just surprised me that you didn't call. But why haven't you been feeling well?
Andrew: I really don't want to talk about it.
Jewel: Are you okay now though?
Andrew: Not really but it'll be fine, I'm fine.
Jewel: Can you just give me a hint to what's wrong?
Andrew: Can we please just drop it, Jewel.
Jewel: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
Andrew: No, you didn't upset me! I just really don't want to talk about it.
Jewel: Okay, let's just change the subject. My mom got a puppy today, his name's Falcon.
Andrew: How ironic.
Jewel: Yea.
Andrew: I'm going to the city today.
Jewel: That should be fun.
Andrew: Yea fun.
Jewel: What's wrong? The city is awesome, with all the people and skyscrapers. I really love going to the Bean.
Andrew: How exciting, I can't wait.
Jewel: Drew, what's wrong? Tell me.
Andrew: Nothing, I have to go. I'll call you later okay?
Jewel: Don't disappear on me again.
