[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
 Merry Christmas, Tin!

You
Merry Christmas to you as well! But who’s this?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
You haven’t saved my number in your phone? Is this true?

You
Would I ask if I have your number saved in my phone.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Geez, Tin. Every girl in the campus dreams of having my number saved in their phone. And you have my permission to save my number and you haven’t saved it?!

You
I would save it if I think you’re worth the phone memory, you know. Now tell me who you are.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Does it seem like I’ll let you know who I am easily.

You
Okay, then no number saving then.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Hey!

Tine.

Destine Anne Folsom.

You
Holy shit, you know my whole name! STALKER!

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
I could be, or I’m just some person who knows your number well.

You
You’re definitely a stalker.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Believe it or not, you don’t know my name.

You
Really? Then how did you have my number?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Because you entrusted it.

You
Well, I may have entrusted it for personal, legal, and administrative reasons but NEVER for people to hit on me!

Why did you text me? Who are you? Just answer those questions so that I can breathe in peace?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
I can’t just do that. If I do that, you’d stop texting me and I wouldn’t be able to know why I have never seen you smile.

You
IT’S CONFIRMED YOU’RE A STALKER. I will report this to the police so they can trace this number and then I can put you in jail for malicious intent.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
NO!

That’s not what this it about.

I’m just really worried about you.

You
??

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
I told you right, I have never seen you smile. That’s the first clue.

You
So we’re playing clues games.

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Because I want to see you smile. Now.

You
What do you mean now?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
I’m in the same coffee shop right now. But don’t look around.

And I told you not to look around.

You
WELL IF YOU’RE BEING STALKED BY SOMEONE CREEPY, WOULDN’T YOU TRY IN VAIN TO LOOK FOR THAT GUY TO KICK HIS ASS?!?!111?!!!!??!

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Just trust me. I want to see you smile with your heart first before I come up to you.

You
How is this supposed to make me happy, “person?”

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
I guess, if you never saw me again, you’d be happy.

You
We have seen each other?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
Definitely.

Tine: Where? When? How?

[UNKNOWN NUMBER]
You see me regularly, Tine. And you never smile every single time.
