E:Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?

J:Sure. is something wrong?

E:That's what I was gonna ask you. 

Where have you been lately?  You haven't returned any of my calls.

J:Sorry. It's been harder than I thought to keep up with schoolwork and the new spring social calendar and my new boyfriend. 

E:Yeah. Asher,right?

J:Yeah. He's cute and smart and basically perfect,and the best part is I think he really likes me. 

E:Well, then he has good taste. But... how well do you actually know him?

J:Oh,that's so sweet. You're being protective.

E:No,I'm not. But... yes. Yes,I am. I've got nothing against him. I just... something about him makes me feel maybe he's not the right guy for you.

J:Oh,my god. Wait. Do you have a crush on me or something?

E:No,I don't. I just want you --

J:Don't be embarrassed. It's cute. I mean, and not so unexpected, actually. I'm flattered. It's just...my heart belongs to Asher. I actually gotta go,but,um,text me,'kay?
