"Oh my! Imagine meeting you here!" "Yea, this comes as rather unexpected...umm, how’s your sister doing?" "She’s cool... she just started with Varcity this year!" "Cool, tell her that I send my regards!" "I’ll do that..." "So...umm, how have you been?" "Fine...fine...and you?" "Oh, just great! I’m just swamped under a lot of work though." "Oh, I hear you...I’ve got a hectic exam schedule..." Exams, yea. You don’t have to tell me anything about exams. You've always been my worst subject. I never could understand you, you know. And it’s not like I had the benefit of lecturers, or extra tutoring, or reserved books in the library where I could study the intricacies of your very being. I failed in You, miserably. I never had an excuse (I don’t have a dog that could have eaten my homework.), or a sick-note. You’re Greek to me... but I lo... "Dean, are you okay?" "Sorry, what...?" "You zoned out a bit there...did you want to say something to me...?" "No...no...I was just thinking..." "Oh, well, I geuss I’ll see you some time then?" "Yea, take care now..." "I’ll do that...good luck with the exams!" "Thanks, you too..." "Bye..."
