'We've been seat-mates for-'

'For the love of God, not that word.'

'-like, 3 weeks, and I don't even know your name, Mr Pallis.'

'It's none of your business.'

'I'll find a way to make it my business.'

'It's my business, seat-mate.'

'We can manage just fine without knowing each other's names.'

'So you want me to tell my name first? You should've said so, kitten.'

'I don't wanna hear shit.'

'I am-'

'LALA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...'

'Seat-mate, stop doing this-'

'LALA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...'

'My name-'

'LALA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...'

'I-'

'LALA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...'

'I said literally nothing.'

'...'

'...'

'Anyways, are you free tomorrow at 7?'

'My, my my. A date?'

'What the fuck? It's about the project...'

'Liar, liar, pants on fire.'

'I told you on the first day that I need to graduate. So shut the fuck up and tell me your name.'

'Call me by your name.'

'Not the correct reference, dude.'

'Did you just dude-zone me?'

'Why have you made up these weird slangs?'

'So you, my beloved seat-mate-'

'I am not your beloved seat-mate but-'

'-is telling me that these slangs are not up-to-date?'

'Uh, yes? No one says this stuff.'

'...I'll rip out her throat...'

'What did you say?'

'Nothing. I'll meet you at your house tomorrow at 6.'

'Nope. We're doing it in a library or your house. Choose the one you fancy.'

'Fine.Amy's at 6. Sharp.'

'I literally said a library or-'

'I heard you, Pallis.'

'Stop calling me by my last name.'

'Tell me your first, then.'

'Never. I'll work with this.'

'I'll find it out.'

'Whatever. I'll see you tomorrow.'

'...'

'...'

'Pallis!'

'What?! You won't let me go to my class or what?'

'Alaric.'

'What?'

'My name. It's Alaric.

'Whatever.'
