I apologize in advance for any mistake in my English. Feel absolutely free to correct me!

JUNE 12TH
09:42 A.M.
Your reply last night was awfully fast. One could wonder why you were still awake.
10:11 A.M.
It's none of your concern.
10:14 A.M.
My, somebody's in a foul mood. Did something happen?
09:18 P.M.
Honestly, one'd think Matthew would be more grateful. Rose oil is quite expensive, and it barely covers the vile smell emanating from his car.
09:20 P.M.
Okay, that's it. What do you want?
09:21 P.M.
I am sorry?
09:23 P.M.
I don't know you! Why are you so damn persistent in texting me?
09:26 P.M.
Well, to tell you the truth... I was impressed.
09:27 P.M.
Impressed? What do you mean?
09:29 P.M.
I was so worried yesterday night, yet you distracted me quite easily. A remarkable feat, truly. I hoped you could entertain me again.
09:30 P.M.
Your niece ran away again?!
09:31 P.M.
No. But I am being assaulted by a horde of textbooks.
09:32P.M.
Stop messing with me.
09:33 P.M.
(photo attached)
As you can see, I am not "messing with you."
09:35 P.M.
I'm already getting a headache. Why on earth are you reading all that stuff?
09:37 P.M.
I have an exam in two weeks, and I would like to pass it, possibly with a decent grade.
09:38 P.M.
You a student?
09:39 P.M.
Technically, yes.
09:40 P.M.
...Technically?
09:43 P.M.
Aah, how can I explain? Well, I didn't go to university after high school. I had other plans, you see. But they didn't turn out as expected, and after a while it was clear that the future had nothing in store for me.
09:45 P.M.
So I chose to backstep and give myself a second chance. Perhaps a bit too late but, what can I say? I had to try.
09:46 P.M.
… which faculty?
09:47 P.M.
Social work.
09:48 P.M.
That's... admirable.
09:49 P.M.
My, was that a compliment? I'm flattered.
09:50 P.M.
Stop that. Then, how old are you? You have a niece, so...
09:53 P.M.
In name only. She's the sister of some friends of mine, but keeps calling me 'uncle' for no reason. I am still in my twenties.
09:54 P.M.
Oh.
09:55 P.M.
Did I say something wrong?
09:56 P.M.
No.
09:57 P.M.
You know what? I don't believe you.
09:58 P.M.
No, it's just... you are roughly my same age.
09:59 P.M.
Oh. I understand. Well, yes,I agree that this is curious.
10:00 P.M.
You mean weird as hell.
10:01 P.M.
Fate works in mysterious ways. So, are you a student?
10:02 P.M.
No. And even if I were, I wouldn't tell you. You're a stranger.
10:04 P.M.
Night-watch, then. That would explain why you were still awake so late. Or a nurse?
10:05 P.M.
Which part of "I wouldn't tell you" didn't you understand?
10:08 P.M.
Have mercy on me, please. This book is so tedious that it could provide a legitimate reason to commit suicide, and I'd very much like to live for a little bit longer.
10:09 P.M.
I am not a merciful man.
/Incoming call; 10:10 P.M./
"Aesha?"
"Legault, you fucker! Are you still alive?"
"Well, hello to you too."
"'Hello' my ass! Where the hell are you?"
"Aesha, such foul language does not suit a fine young lady like you at all."
"This fine young lady could shove it up your-"
"Okay, okay, I get it! Yeesh, what's up with everybody today?"
"I've been calling you for hours! I was getting worried, you know!"
"Did you? I didn't receive any call this evening, and my phone's on."
"What? I rang you at least seven times!"
"... Aesha, are you sure you called the right number?"
"Of course I did! I am not an idiot like you, what'd you think?"
"You may want to check that out again."
"... Oh, fuck."
"Aah, looks like I've got a comrade."
"Mm? What do you mean?"
"Well, it's a long story... Actually, why don't you come over? If you have nothing else to do, I mean."
"You've got any beer left?"
"All you may desire and even more."
"Count me in."
"Do you mind taking something to-"
"Don't worry. I've got it covered. Serra's?"
"Marry me?"
"Go fuck yourself."
10:14 P.M.
Well, it looks like you are relieved of your duties tonight. Somebody's coming to my rescue.
10:15 P.M.
Thank him on my behalf.
10:17 P.M.
Her. And that was a bit offensive, you know? I think of myself as an extremely pleasant fellow.
10:18 P.M.
I feel pity for the lady.
10:19 P.M.
Hey, that's unfair! I was the one who needed your pity one moment ago!
10:20 P.M.
And now you don't anymore. You've got company.
10:22 P.M.
If you think I'm getting laid, you got it all wrong. She and I, we've been best friends since childhood. The most fun I'm going to get is hearing her tearing down my favourite movies with her sarcasm.
10:23 P.M.
You know what? I like her.
10:25 P.M.
What a bastard. Why don't you come over too, so you two can insult my taste in movies together while I wallow in self-pity and Serra's Thai noodles?
10:26 P.M.
Huh? Serra's, as in Serra's Chasing Dragon Takeaway?
10:27 P.M.
Yep. Wait, how come you know her?
10:28 P.M.
Oh gods. You live in my same city, don't you?
/Outgoing call, 10:29 P.M./
"On my way, Hurricane! What movie am I going to destroy for you tonight?"
"You won't believe it, but I've got something waaay better than that."
