A: "You didn't have to work with me in maths, you know."
E: "Teacher told us to work in partners, I couldn't work on my own."
A: "But you had plenty of other people who would've wanted to work with you to choose from."
E: "I know."
A: "So why-"
E: "Aeryn."
A: "What?"
E: "We've discussed this, we are friends. Friends talk to each other, friends choose to work with each other in lessons."
A: "But they're your friends too."
E: "Yeah, but I prefer working with you."
A: "You hardly see them anymore, isn't that a bad thing?"
E: "Not when I have someone like you to be with."
A: "Someone like me?"
E: "You're just so different."
A: "Normally when people say that to me it doesn't mean anything nice."
E: "It's a compliment from me, you're like a breath of fresh air."
A: "A breath of strange, not very talkative, boring fresh air?"
E: "Exactly."
A: "You don't make any sense, Eli."
E: "I'm not alive to make sense."
A: "You're not alive for anything. We'll all die eventually and soon no one will even remember we existed."
E: "Well aren't you a veritable ray of sunshine?"
A: "It's true though."
E: "An existence where I get the chance to know you is an existence worth having."
A: "I bet you say that to all the girls."
