Annie-Mae: "Well, I do declare! Fancy meeting you here, Ashley."

Ashley: "...And who are you?

Annie-Mae: "I'm Annie-Mae Abney! We met before class?"

Ashley: "Oh yeaaaaah. Sorry. I never pay attention to anything involving class."

Annie-Mae: "Well, as long as you're here! Do you fancy a cup of coffee and getting better acquainted?"

Ashley: "...Is that a joke?"

Annie-Mae: "...No?"

Ashley: "Whatever." *totally thrown off her game* "I was gonna go play pool and I guess you can come if you want."

Annie-Mae: "Oh! Pool! That sounds fun."

Annie-Mae: "Thanks for letting-!"

Ashley: *walks off*

Annie-Mae: "-Me come."

Annie-Mae: "I haven't played pool in ages!"

Ashley: "You play?"

Annie-Mae: "Not great. But I like to play from time to time!"

Annie-Mae: *happily humming*

Ashley: *rolls eyes, but smiles despite herself*

Ashley: "You're pretty good at this. Why did you say you weren't?"

Annie-Mae: "I am? I never knew!"

Ashley: "Huh. Maybe you aren't the lamest thing since sliced bread."

Annie-Mae: "I think you've mixed a metaphor."

Ashley: "Whatever."

Annie-Mae: "A cookie please! And one of the lattes!"

Barista: "Which latte?"

Annie-Mae: "There's...more than one?"

Barista: "Oh honey."

Mood.

Annie-Mae: "She didn't...leave? Did she? I didn't even get to say goodbye. She just walked off..."

~~Uni townies do that, dear. Don't take it so personally.~~

Ashley: "Well, it's been less boring than expected. If you're out and about, say hi next time."

Annie-Mae: "Will do! It's been a lot of fun! You're a lot of fun, Ashley."

Ashley: "Snrk. Thanks, Babe. See ya round."
