But I Don't Like Him
One
After Abby got home from school, she immediately changed clothes as it was pouring cats and dogs. And just to come back with messages from an unknown contact.
Unknown
I got your number from your friend, Bea.
Abby
Sorry. I don't talk to strangers. Bye.
Abby
Don't give my number to people I don't know.
Bea
But, girl. You don't need to be rude.
Bea
'I don't talk to strangers.'
Abby
Seriously. I don't want to.
Bea
If you wouldn't, how would you know other people?
Bea
Besides, we're schoolmates. He's a senior.
Bea
I know him so he's not a total stranger.
Bea
A friend of a friend, right?
Bea
Still can't move on from that monkey of an ex of yours?
Bea
Avery Claire Alano, come on.
Bea
He probably got shocked that the juniors' representative is so, so, sooooooooo...
Bea
But on the serious note, Abby, apologize.
Abby
Aren't you the one who should apologize first? Like, to me?
Bea
Well, I'm sorry, okay? I just want you to have fun, too.
Bea
His name's Rowan, by the way.
Contemplating if she should, and if she could, Abby worked on her homework first while she was thinking about it.
Abby
I'm sorry for being rude earlier. Bea keeps on giving my number so I just snapped. I know that sounds like an excuse but I'm really sorry.
Rowan (?)
Hi. Apology accepted! ^_^
Rowan (?)
Did you have dinner? I just finished mine.
Abby
Bea told me that you're a senior. Are you classmates with the President of the Student Government?
Rowan (?)
I just saw you earlier. Black and white striped backpack, right?
Abby
This is weird. You know me but I don't know you.
Rowan (?)
You passed me by during lunch.
Rowan (?)
Your locker's near mine, too.
Abby
Now, that's totally unfair! Can we connect on Facebook so I can see some pictures?
Rowan (?)
LOL! I'm not handsome so I don't take pictures. I can send you a friend request but I don't have pictures on my Facebook, too.
It took Abby some moments as she was unsure how to respond to his last one.
Rowan (?)
I would just greet you at school.
Rowan (?)
We're friends now, right?
Abby
Sure, a friend that I know nothing about.
Abby
You haven't introduced yourself, you know.
Rowan (?)
My name's Rowan.
Rowan (?)
I thought you said you know 'nothing' about me.
Abby
Bea told me so that doesn't count.
Rowan (?)
Anyway, my name's Rowan Sto. Rosario.
Abby
Avery Alano but just call me Abby. Nice to meet (?) you, Rowan. I guess?
Rowan (?)
I think it would be better if we'll say...
Rowan (?)
Let's meet tomorrow.
Abby
I agree. See you tomorrow, then.
Rowan (?)
Goodnight, Abby! ^_^
