Oh, right. Then you stop after awhile because if you ask them a bunch of times it gets weird. So, you just stop. 

Precisely. Sorry for bothering you though..

Yeah, maybe. What did they sound like?

Just a person, like when someone asks for something but you don't understand so you have them repeat it?

Maybe you just heard voices in your head…

Probably, or maybe it was somebody else. Who knows.

Uh-uh. Those that can’t do, teach, so I want to be one of the ones that can. That sounds like my stack of journals, though I don’t change anyone’s name.

You're thoughts are on point, I admire that. I change names in case anybody decides to read it.

I’m trying. i’m taking creative writing and journalism at the local college. I love writing, but I have this one professor that always says ‘Write what you know’ and I keep thinking that if everyone did that, we wouldn’t have any entertainment.

You make a good point, maybe you should be the teacher. I like writing stories, or writing about my friends and family from a different perspective and I change their names.

Um, no, I don’t think so…

Oh sorry, thought I heard something.

Mine’s to see my name on a book jacket. Hmm…now I wonder how many other people I’ll be during this conversation.

So you're a writer? That must be great, I like writing but I wouldn't become a writer.

I’m usually not that optimistic, to be honest with you, though I do have a dream. …And now I’m Martin Luther King. Mall Rat? If you are, you’ve probably seen me.

Don't we all.. Well I wouldn't say mall rat, but I do work there.

Now that I can understand. You’re nothing with out hopes and dreams. …And that sounded like it belonged in some Disney movie. Sorry.

Hey, whatever gets you through the day, right? You know, you actually look kind of familiar.

Nice to meet you too. I take it matriculation isn’t treating you well? Been there, done that.

Nothing's been too bad actually, I'm just ready to move on to bigger and better things.

Can I change places with you? I’d go back to high school…well, maybe not. I’m Carrie by the way. And you are?

I can't wait to leave high school. Nice to meet you, Carrie. I'm Lily.

I’m sorry. You caught me talking to myself…embarrassing! I’m trying to juggle all of my assignments. Double majors suck.

Yeah I bet, that must suck. I get it though, with high school stuff and all.
