Harper:Wait. What about when we’re at our lockers?

Easton:PUBLIC. Any public!

Harper:Whoa! I got it, I got it, sheesh, I was clarifying, calm down.

Easton:Can we move on to Rule 2?

Harper:By all means, please do…

Easton:How are we going to explain this sudden friendship? People are going to think we like each other or that we’re dating or whatever.

Harper:What people?

Easton:Our friends. People.

Harper:People like…Maddie Miller?

Easton:Don’t put words in my mouth. There is nothing between Maddie Miller and me.

Harper:**There’s nothing between Maddie Miller and I.

Easton:Did you just correct my sentence? Because my sentence was correct.

Harper:Bad gramer is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Easton:**Grammar

Harper:Oh my god.

Easton:Yeah, that’s what I thought…

Harper:Getting back to these “people” who might think we’re a couple…

Easton:What’s our cover story?

Harper:Why do we need a cover story? Two people can be friends.

Easton:We can’t. I’ve literally never said your name to anyone a day in my life.

Harper:My gawd, why are guys SO dramatic. This is a you problem, not a me problem.

Harper:Besides, the deal was that you’re supposed to act happy to be my date, REMEMBER?

Easton:It just feels too random. I’ve never mentioned you to a single soul.

Harper:I’ll try not to take offense at that. **clears throat** Easton, as you pointed out—your locker is literally right next to mine. Obviously we spend time together.

Easton:Glaring at me and roasting me at my locker is NOT spending time with me.

Harper:Noted.

Harper:But doesn’t it stand to reason that we might have become friends because our lockers are next to each other’s??

Easton:No.

Harper:I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at this.

Easton:Of course you’re rolling your eyes.
