“That is I.”
“Oh, hello Its Drew.”

“Okay, I’m just checking. I mean I saw you two talking at lunch and I was thinking if I was doing the right thing.”
“Oh, You are were just friends.”
“Okay, just checking you could never be to sure about somethings.”
“True.”
“So what did you want to do after the dance?”
“I don’t know whatever.” Nat’s phone beeped for another call. “Look Drew hold on I have another call.”
