"Go away, Derek."
"No, not until you tell me what's wrong."
"It's none of your concern. So please be so kind as to leave me the hell alone!"
"Nope. Don't feel like it."
"You're such an ass sometimes."
"Can't help it when you're being a bitch."
"I am not being a bitch! I just want to be alone!"
"Why?"
"It's none of your business. It has nothing to do with you. So why do you have to know?"
Long pause.
"Because…"
"On with it or leave, please."
"…Nevermind, Casey… I'll leave you alone."
Feet shuffling.
"Derek! Wait!"
"What?"
"I'm sorry… I just need some time to sort out my head. Some stuff has been happening and I'm just upset. I've been taking it out on a lot of people."
"And I just happen to be your favorite."
"Of course."
They laugh quietly.
"So… you're alright now? Get it out of your system."
"Not entirely. But… why do you care so much?"
Another long pause.
"Because you're upset. I hate when you're upset."
"Because I'm a bitch?"
"No. Well, yes actually, that too. But also because you're my… friend… I guess and it's probably my fault."
"I'm happy to see you care that much."
"Whatever, Case."
"Hey, I know what you mean, Derek. I get it and thank you."
"Sure."
"You know, I care about you too."
"Good to know."
"You don't always have to be so sarcastic, Derek."
"Well, I like to be."
"Jerk."
"Princess."
He puts a hand out.
"Friends?"
"Friends."
They shake.
