Maya,Riley, and I were leaning against our lockers while I was texting Lucas who two feet away from me. The only reason I was doing this because I liked talking to Lucas when we have privacy and knowing Maya, she would be listening in on the conversation.
"Talk to him." Maya said pointed at Lucas
"Why? They have a great text relationship." Riley said in my defense but I was already putting my phone in my pocket.
"You know what's a better text relationship?" Maya asked her
"What?" Riley asked
"Talk to him. He's right over there." Maya said and I walked over to him while Riley said
"Noooo! Too complicated over there. Lots can go wrong over there. The only thing that can go wrong over here is if she go over there."
"Too late"Maya said pointing over to me go to Lucas.
"Hey Lucas" I said sitting next to him and he smiled
"Hey Precious" he said back and I raised an eyebrow at him
"Really?" "What? I like it" he said with a grin and I laughed

Cory is holding a cell phone and said
"You guys don't connect with each other. It's like you can't exist without these. You use emoticons rather than emotions. You're an unfeeling generation of zombies." Riley, Maya, and I were mimicking zombies.
"Stop eating her." Cory said as Myzell walked in "You're late, Miss Myzell."

"Oh, she actually made it out the door this time." Cory said and opened the door
Myzell appears in the doorway "I actually made it out the door this time!" She aid before going to her seat.
"Dad, adjust and deal. Cell phones have been around for, like, ever." Riley told her dad
"It'll amaze you to know that there was a whole world before you and cell phones."
"And it'll amaze you to know that I have 394 friends in here." She said tapping her cell phone screen and I just shook my head at her before writing down some lyrics in my songbook.
"And I'm amazed that you believe that." Cory said and he draws a line across the chalkboard "This is a timeline of all human existence. Starting here, " he points at the start of the timeline "is everyone who ever lived, laughed, loved, and understood the value of life. The cellphone era, which begins right around here, "he draws a line almost at the end of the timeline "pretty much destroys all of that. Way to go, you."
