You have one new message
"Hey it's me, where you at bro? You gonna be home tonight? Call me."

(a few days later...)
(calls again.)
(alright, fine, might as well talk to him.)

Hello?

"Hey."

Hi.

"Where you been?"

I've been here.

"I called you a couple of times."

Really?

"Yeah, why didn't you call me back?"

Oh, sorry.

"What's wrong?"

Nothing.

"Really?"

Why?

"Because all of the sudden you're not calling me back."

No reason.

"Oh."

(pause)

"Are you sure?"

Totally.

"Okay."

(pause)

"I think you're lying."

I'm not.

"You're a liar."

I am not!

"You are."

Like you have any room to talk.

"I'm not a liar."

I think your girlfriend would disagree.

(pause)

"What?"

Nothing.

"So that's what this is about."

What is what about?

"I don't have a girlfriend."

(pause)

Really?

"No."

What happened to her?

"I don't call her anymore."

Ah.

"She was just some girl, we went out a few times, that was it."

Okay.

"Why, you jealous?"

Why, do you want me to be?

(pause)

"You can be whatever you want."

I know.

"And I don't know why I'm explaining myself to you anyway."

(pause)

Where are you?

"In my car."

Going where?

"To your house, but now I'm turning around."

(stomach drops)

Why?

"Because you're pissed and I don't need the drama."

I'm not pissed.

"Then I'm pissed."

About what?

"That you were blowing me off."

I wasn't.

"Yeah you were."

(I was.)

(pause)

I wasn't blowing you off, I just don't do the whole "I've got a girlfriend" thing.

"Neither do I."

(I could say something here, but I'll drop it.)

Okay.

"Okay."

(pause)

"Fuck."

What?

"I almost ran over somebody."

How?

"Turning back around again to come over to your place."

Oh really?

"Yeah."

I'm busy.

"See? You're a liar."

How long until you get here?

"Ten minutes."
