"Hey, Hazel!"

"Oh. Hi Jane."

"What's up, you haven't returned my phone calls."

...

"Nothing much, I guess."

"I see... Where's Cooper?"

"Um, he's gone to bring his car around."

"Cool! Are you staying over at his tonight or something?"

"Mhm. He said he's gonna teach me how to cook a grilled cheese sandwich."

"Damn, Cooper can cook."

"It's just a grilled cheese?"

"I can't grill an egg, let alone a full on sandwich!"

"Jane, you don't grill eggs..."

...

"See? I'm useless."

"You're not useless, J."

"In the kitchen, I am! Do you remember that time in ninth grade when we tried to make cupcakes?"

"... And you ended up putting chilli powder in your cupcakes?"

"And my mom and Molly ate them and were sick with food poisoning for a week. Good times!"

...

"Speaking of Molly, have you heard of her recently?"

"Er... Yeah, she and her mom are okay, and they might drop in town for a day if it's not too hot."

"Haha, this is Cali, it's always too hot here."

"Eh, true."

"Hazel?"

"Yep?"

...

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"You know what."

...

"I feel like I always end up apologising to you because of a phone call. But let's put all this behind us, okay?"

"Okay."

"Great. I don't want to go to college thinking my only friend sort of hates me, y'know?"

"I don't hate you, Jane."

"That's a relief. Anyway, I see Cooper coming over, so I'll leave you two to get your freak on or something."

"Our freak on? Ja-"

"See ya!"

...

"Hey, babe, where did Jane go?"

"Huh? She just ran off."

"Okay. Do you wanna get going?"

...

"Let's go."
