Late Night Conversations

12:52 a.m.

"He-"

"Um... Rian?"

"You sound really out of it, you know that, right?"

"Th-that's because I am."

"C, what did you do?"

"My sister's boyfriend is here. I think, I think one of them slipped something into my milkshake."

"What do you mean? And why are you having a milkshake this late?"

"I was hungry and craving one."

"Why do you think they slipped something into it?"

"It was either a lot of alcohol or pot. I'm feeling really emotional and I only sometimes get that way when I'm drunk, but then I also feel paranoid that I'm going to fall off."

"Why the hell are you on the roof?"

"The stars."

"Oh my God."

"They're so cool and bright. I think I can see the big dicker."

"OH MY GOD I MEAN DIPPER!"

"You literally laughed for like ten minutes. I timed it."

"Rian?"

"What?"

"One, you are an ass for timing it. Two, you will probably believe this but I fell off of my roof when I laughed."

"..."

"..."

"Oh my God. I'm such a dick for laughing but are you okay?"

"I landed in the pool and my phone is completely waterproof so yes."

"How did I not hear any of that?"

"My laughter was loud through the phone."

"Good point. Did you get out of the pool?"

"Dude, I'm swimming around in the water right now."

"Don't drown."

"Hey, my friend is having a party Friday night, want to come?"

"What percentage of the school will be there?"

"About... at least 75%."

"Which friend is it? Your female friend or male friend?"

"Male."

"What's his name? Like, so I know."

"Kyle Retersdorf."

"Ohhhh. He's one of the most known people in school."

"I know, right? I'd be surprised that we're friends if it wasn't for the fact he's my neighbor and had been my play date since diapers."

"Ah, so you grew up together?"

"Yep. So you going or not?"

"Sure. Sounds fun."
