"why are you so mean?"
"i have no idea what you mean."
"sam's your favorites?"
"he's adorable, tom's alright and all."
"lina. he's trying to be your friend, and you make that very difficult."
"we're friends, kinda, i just don't see what the big deal is. he's tom holland, great. doesn't mean every girl has to be helplessly in love with him."
"i'm not in love with him, not because he isn't great, but just because it never worked that way with us. and no one is asking you to marry the boy. you have his number, call him, i think that if you actually talk to him, you'll like him. this friendship might be good for you."
"no. fine."
"good. text me when you're done."

"hello?"
"hey, thomas."
"alina? never thought you'd be the one calling me."
"yeah, well. i'm full of surprises."
"i'm sure you are, darling."
"don't call me that."
"what? darling? it doesn't have to mean anything."
"just don't tom. please."
"got it, i won't. are you okay?"
"i just don't like it, okay."
"that's not what i meant, i mean you sound, i don't know, you sound almost scared?"
"i am not scared."
"nervous, maybe?"
"why would i be nervous to talk to you? getting a little cocky there, thomas, aren't you?"
"z was right, you are a smartarse."
"born and raised."
"tell me something."
"something."
"i mean, something about yourself."
"why?"
"so i can get to know you better, i get why you like my brother more, but you said we would try and be friends, this is the start."
"fine. when i was eight, i basically told my teacher to eat shit because i heard my dad tell his friend that."
"bloody hell, you really are something else."
"she thought it was funny."
"i'm sure she did."
"now you got your something and as much as i would love to continue to talk to the tom holland, i have school."
"oh, okay."
"sorry thomas, not all of us are hot shot actors with girls falling at their feet."
"that's not what i meant."
"i know."
