Unknown number: Hi, beautiful.
Anah: Hey.
Unknown number: What are you and Haley whispering about?
Anah: I hate it when you do that! Where are you? I know you’re in the cafeteria, Creeper.
Unknown number: You’re going to strain your neck if you keep doing that, babe. Plus, you look like a meerkat.
Anah: I do not!
Unknown number: Ok, ok… you look like a cute meerkat.
Anah: *eye roll*
Unknown number: I can see you doing an eye roll, Anah. You don’t need to tell me. Plus, it’s what I’ve come to expect of you.
Unknown number: So what are you conspiring against?
Anah: We’re not conspiring.
Unknown number: So, what’s with the shady looks and the whispering?
Anah: I told Haley about you on Wednesday, and today’s the first time we’ve really had a chance to talk about it… or rather you.
Unknown number: Oh, right. And? What’s the BFF verdict?
Anah: Well from the messages she’s read, she thinks you’re an ass.
Unknown number: An ass?
Anah: Her words not mine.
Unknown number: She seriously thinks I’m an ass?
Anah: Yo, freaky no name dude. H.
Unknown number: Hello, Haley.
Anah: Yeah, yeah… Just wanted to let you know you’re an ass. H.
Unknown number: So I heard.
Anah: You should just tell my girl who you are… it’ll make you less creepy. And less of an ass. H.
Unknown number: Would you like me more if I told Anah my name?
Anah: Not really… H.
Unknown number: Uh, thanks?
Anah: I like you enough. You made my BFF happy, so you win, like, a hundred points. H.
Unknown number: Cool.
Anah: I’m gonna give you back to Anah. She’s giving me the evils. It was nice talking to you… whoever you are. H.
Unknown number: You too, Haley.
Anah: Hey it’s me again. Haley does like you… in her own way.
Unknown number: Well, she gave me a hundred points, so I’m not gonna complain.
Anah: She’s just… protective. She doesn’t want me to get hurt.
Unknown number: You think I’m going to hurt you?
Anah: I’m not sure.
Unknown number: I will never hurt you. You mean too much to me, Anah.
Anah: Honey Bun.
Unknown number: Babe.
