been doing sports outside of school. Maybe I should call my friend and ask him to go instead
of me.

her about him.

You? How is this possible?

What the heck are you doing here? I’m not supposed to be meeting with you.
Friend (guy):
Probably a minor coincidence.
Friend (girl):
It might be.

therefore they have sent us.
Friend (girl):
Indeed. So what should we do now?
Friend (guy):
Well I would say let’s have the meeting, let’s get to know each other.
