❝Yo.❞

❝Sup bro?❞

❝I have a question.❞

❝Okay, let's go.❞

❝If a girl and her best friend take a shy glance at you and giggle, that's a good sign. Am I right?❞

❝Only if your crush bites her lip every time she looks at you.❞

❝Uh...❞

❝I'm just joking, dude. You would think you would've learned how to take me by now.❞

❝I don't think I'll ever get used to you if I'm being quite honest.❞

❝Well that's gotta suck because I happen to think I'm pretty awesome.❞

❝Go ahead and think that, 103. I'm not going to be the one to kill your dream.❞

❝That's harsh, man. I didn't think you had that cruelness in you.❞

❝I'm not cruel, just truthful.❞

❝...❞

❝Who's speechless now, huh?❞

❝Hmph. But anyway, going back to your original question, that usually is a good sign. Why do you ask? What happened that I missed?❞

❝Delilah has been a lot more giggly lately.❞

❝Wow, and I thought you said she was shy. Apparently she's already going in for the kill and you've known her for what?❞

❝Like three days.❞

❝Well, that's still a good sign! A very good sign!❞

❝Oh good! I was worried for a second. Her and Annabella have been acting like they're hiding something from me.❞

❝Like...how?❞

❝The conversation isn't running as smoothly as it has the past two days. Plus they have like this literal 'girl code' thing they're using now. They talk in code words that don't even make sense.❞

❝Do you have an example?❞

❝They keep saying something about a bridge. I have no clue what they're freaking talking about and it's frustrating. I'm starting to feel like a third wheel in this situation.❞

❝How come?❞

❝How come what?❞

❝How come every time you come around...?❞

❝Wait, what?❞

❝How come every time you come around my London, London Bridge.❞

❝WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!❞

❝Those are song lyrics! ❞

❝That is an actual song?❞

❝Yes, dear boy. Learn your Fergie Ferg.❞

❝...This means I'm Bridge, doesn't it?❞

❝There's a great possibility that you are, just because your name correlates with these lyrics pretty well. You would think they would pick a less obvious code word given the fact that you're now sitting with them at lunch. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that song,  like c'mon! Well...everyone except you.❞

❝So?❞

❝So I think that maybe Delilah wants to go down like London London London.❞

❝This song is a joke about my nonexistent love life, isn't it?❞

❝No dude. I wasn't lying. It's literally an actual song. Go YouTube it. It's called London Bridge.❞

❝My goodness, my entire life is a joke.❞

❝Not all of it. Just most, hehe.❞

❝Not helping, 103.❞

❝...❞

❝Stop laughing, it's not funny.❞

❝Oh, but it is. Because if you really are this 'Bridge' person, you better be ready to buckle up buttercup. Delilah is going to want a man who takes charge and apparently also wants a man who goes down like London Bridge ahaha!❞

❝Can we not?❞

❝I AM JUST JOKING BOY!  GOODNESS! Though...❞

❝Though what?❞

❝I heard that London has a special monument called...Big Ben. Is that true?❞

*snorts as she dies from laughter*

*click*

❝Did he just hang up? Ohmygosh, it was just a joke!❞

❝...❞

❝Maybe this London doesn't have that kind of monument?❞

*chuckles to herself*

❝...❞

❝I'm so sorry, Londie. I never meant to hurt you. I was just joking.❞

❝...❞

❝Come back to me babe...❞

❝Babe?❞

❝WA- HUH...I-I um...I thought you hung up!❞

❝I left for like two seconds, got a soda, and opened it. I've been here practically the whole time.❞

❝Aw is someone feeling a bit...thirsty?❞

❝Physically, yes.❞

❝...❞

❝...❞

❝...❞

❝So...this babe thing...❞

❝That wasn't meant for you, swear.❞

❝It's okay. It's kinda cute how awkward you're being right now. All speechless and stuff.❞

❝I- I uh...I'm so sorry. I wasn't being a creep, swear. I just thought I hurt your feelings with my joke about your...your monument.❞

*snorts*

❝It was weird and an awkward line I never wanted to cross, but I'm not mad. Actually, I feel quite odd because...well I think you're smart enough to put two and two together.❞

❝And I'm sorry. I understand that you were uncomfortable with that. I won't do it anymore, I swear.❞

❝Since when did you become so considerate?❞

❝You realize that I have a heart and emotions too, right?❞

❝I do. Just thought you didn't like to use them.❞

❝I usually don't.❞

*yawn*

❝But you're a special case. I've always said that.❞

❝Oh gosh...I didn't even realize it was past midnight. I should get going.❞

*yawn*

❝Okay.❞

❝Goodnight...babe.❞

*smiles*

❝Hehe, quit teasing. It wasn't intended for you.❞

❝No, it wasn't intended for my ears. But that's okay.❞

❝It is?❞

❝Yeah.❞

*yawns*

❝Cool.❞

❝Well goodnight, 103. Sleep tight.❞

*click*

❝Goodnight love.❞
