"Hey."
"Ok, let's finish our round of fill in the blank."
"Why?"
"Because I like getting to know you."
"No, you like obtaining information that you can use against me."
"Phf, no. That's outrageous."
"Actually, it seems like something you would do."
"Okay, yeah, it does."
"..."
"Do you still want to play?"
"Why not? My middle name is..."
"Finn."
"At least yours isn't embarrassing."
"Is your embarrassing?"
"Yes."
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you that!"
"Why not?"
"Because then you could use it against me!"
"I think we've already been over this. And anyways, you're the one who agreed to it!"
"You know what? Let's just stop playing games that involve information about ourselves."
"Fine then."

"So..."
"So..."
"Did you hear that I took your advice to start working at my mom's coffee shop so I could get to know the girl. As of right now I'm officially a barista."
"Congratulations."
"Yeah, the job is pretty cool. I mean, besides the fact that the girl, who I've learned is named Fay, never talks to me, or that there's another girl who works there that keeps shooting me weird looks, like she knows something about me that even I don't know."
"Sounds interesting."
"It is."
"Well, I've got to go. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
