Merry Christmas Eve, Liz! What are you up to?
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
You as well! I'm wrapping the last of gifts for my mum and dad. You?
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

I'm about to board the train for home. It's going to be a six hour ride. :/

Why did you leave so late? Christmas is tomorrow!!!
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
FROM: ALFIE
AHHH. I know. It was stupid of me to work extra shifts at Starbucks.
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
Oh so hipster.
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
FROM: ALFIE
What? I do work at Starbucks! The job was available at the start of term, so I took it. Rent isn't going to pay itself.
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
Understood. *salutes you* Make me a frapp then?
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
FROM: ALFIE
Why am I always making things for you? First it was the app and now coffee. You should make me something!
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
Like what?

Where do you work?
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
At the campus bookstore. Selling books. I don't think you'd want books...
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
FROM: ALFIE
I need a few books, yeah. Bloody expensive they are. My poli. sci. book alone is 84 quid.
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
Wow. The highest I paid for mine was 65. And that was as far as the person was willing to bargain...
TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
FROM: ALFIE
Hey, it's Christmas Eve! Lets not dwell on stupidly expensive uni shit. What did you get your parents?
TO: ALFIE
FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)
Um, a blouse for my mum and the first season of F.R.I.E.N.D.S for my Dad. It's his favourite.
