"Putting my defences up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack..."
"Are you being serious?"
"Hey Alex. What do you mean?"
"Just asking if what you're singing is true."
"Why would it matter? It's a song."
"No reason."
"..."
"..."
"Uh..."
"So... Tell me a secret that no one else knows about you."
"What? Why?"
"I want to know more about you."
"Well, how about this one; I talk to a random stranger every single day while I stand, naked, in a shower, and I have no clue what he looks like."
"Haha. Very funny."
"I am pretty funny."
"But that's not a secret, Lachlan knows about it."
"Yeah, about that. How many people have you told about this?"
"Only Lachlan. Don't worry."
"Okay then."
"Tell me another one."
"Fine, Mr. Nosey. Um... My sisters hate me...?"
"Your sisters hate you? What?"
"Yeah... They act all nice around my father, but they're not the kindest siblings..."
"Oh... um..."
"I should not have told you that..."
"Don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone. I swear."
"Okay... thanks..."
"I'll tell you something as well."
"Okay. It better be good."
"I literally sit in this bathroom, and wait for you to come in and start singing."
"All day?"
"All day. My parents think I'm crazy."
*sigh*
"You asked for it."
"I know I did. Now, please get out so I can get changed."
"Sure. Hear you tomorrow."
"Hear you tomorrow."
