Kori,"Good morning."
Averi,"Hi. What was that?"
Kori,"What was what?"
Averi,"Yesterday at my house."
Kori,"I wanted to meet your family."
Averi,"How did you become really respectable all of a sudden?"
Kori,"My sister taught me. I can pull it out anytime I want to."
Averi,"You surprised me yesterday."
Kori,"I know. I did good?"
Averi,"They still know you're crazy."
Kori,"I'm not crazy."
Averi,"You're forcing me in a relationship."
Kori,"And you talk more in school now."
Averi,"....."
Mr. Suttel,"Alright kids. Time for Chemistry. Honors Chemistry that is."

"Yea Mr. Suttel!"
"Whoo!"
Mr. Suttel laughs.

Kori,"Averi."
Kori,"AVARY."
Kori,"Averi are you mad at me?"
Kori,"Averi!"
...
Kori,"Okay. I get it know. You don't like to talk at school. Me making you talk now is letting people know that you're open. You don't want to be open. I understand."
Kori,"Averi I'm sorry."
"Did you two get into a fight?"
Kori,"Averi won't talk to me."
"What happened?"
Kori,"Well we were talking about how I went to her house yesterday and went inside without being invited. Then we were talking about how weird I can be. Then I said And you talk more in school now. Now she's mad at me."
"Shouldn't you apologize about going in her house without permission?"
Kori,"Who are you?"
"I'm Cameron."
Kori,"Last name?"
Cameron,"Widing. People call me Cam. You should apologize."
Kori,"You can go now."
Cameron,"I was just trying to help."
Kori,"Well I did that already."
Averi,"Not really."
Kori,"What?"
Averi,"You said sorry for making me talk. Not for going into my home uninvited."
Cameron,"I was right."
Kori,"No one likes a know-it-all."
Cameron,"I will just leave you two alone. Bye."
Averi,"Bye."
Kori,"Okay I'm sorry for going into your home."
Averi,"You're being rude he said bye."
Kori,"Bye Cameron! Okay I said I'm sorry."
Averi,"Okay."
Kori,"Okay what?"
Averi,"I forgive you. Don't do it again."
Kori,"Good. So what time do you want to go shopping?"
Averi,"Twelve."
Kori,"So what store are we going to?"
Averi,"Don't care."
Kori,"You're being quiet again. The not more than three syllable thing."
Kori,"Averi."
Kori,"Averi."
Averi,"Kori."
Kori,"Yes?"
Averi,"Shut up."
Kori, gasps.
...
Kori,"Okay so I won't go into your home today."
Kori,"I promise I won't."
Kori,"I'm going to call my sister to pick me up outside your house."
Kori,"We'll be here tomorrow at twelve. We can get some food then walk around trying on dresses that way we lose calories."

Averi,"What?!"
I whip out my phone and look for her texts to me.
