Ashton: Am I lame if I feel more comfortable telling complete strangers my problems over text but I can't even order a coffee by myself without crying?

Calum: A bit.

Michael: Uh, rude.

Michael: But you're not lame for that. It's easier to talk over text because you can't actually see us. You can, in a way, pretend that we don't exist while having to face people in real like like ordering a coffee is harder because then there's no way to pretend that they're not actually there.

Michael: Why are you asking? Did something happen?

Ashton: I went to the mall after school with my confidence already shot because of some people being mean and I wanted a coffee but I was so scared to order it myself and I started to tear up because I know that it's a ridiculous thing to be scared over but I couldn't help it. And then to make things worse I was holding the line up and the people behind me were getting angry so I left without getting a coffee. I went to my car and cried for a solid ten minutes before driving off.

Ashton: God I'm such a pathetic boy.

Calum: That's not pathetic. It's just the way you are. A lot of people are like that. And it's even worse when people were already being mean.

Michael: Oh so you can be nice.

Calum: Shut up.

Luke: My house exploded.

Calum: Is anyone hurt?

Michael: How did it explode?

Luke: Everyone's fine but my mom and her boyfriend had a meth lab and it blew up on them. They got arrested.

Calum: Where are you gonna live now?

Luke: I don't know, probably with my brother in Australia.

Michael: I am also in Australia.

Calum: In Australia as well.

Luke: That's cool.

Calum: I have to go to football practice and I'd rather not.

Luke: Why?

Calum: Cause it sucks. My team is nothing but a bunch of assholes.

Michael: Then why be on the team.

Calum: Oh my dad would kill me if I quit and I enjoy the sport.

Luke: What's everyone's ages?

Calum: 16. Why?

Michael: Aye I'm 16 as well.

Luke: Because I'm curious. I'm 15.

Luke: Hey, Ashton disappeared. He's not replying anymore.

Michael: He might be busy.

Calum: I won't reply for awhile because I've got practice. I'm letting you know so you want ask where I am.

Luke: Okay Cal-cal.

Calum: Please don't call me that.

Luke: Okay.

Ashton: Sorry for not replying. I was debating if I wanted to go out and buy the ingredients to cook or if I wanted to order pizza.

Michael: What did you choose?
