No offense. Second, you’re up to one thousand followers so I’m sure they won’t mind if you’re a day late, and third, I can do your research for you.”  \n“How?” Paige asked as her phone beeped. She reached for the cell ontop of her pillow and stared at the letters on the screen.  \nIt’s Marissa. If you’re checking this text message in the middle of our conversation, then yes, the depth of our interaction has just decreased due to technology.  \nPaige glared at Marissa.“You’re unbelievable.”  \nMarissa smirked.“So I’ve been told.”  \n“Don’t you ever have assignments?”  \n“Um, yeah. Art History isn’t easy, but I’m much better at time management than you.”  \n“Excuse me but I’m markedly organized.”  \n“I never said you weren’t. I’m saying that you need to schedule in recreation. Ever since the break-up, you became way too serious and way too busy. You’re totally doing it on purpose so that you don’t have to deal with your feelings.”  \n“Thank you for the psych analysis. Please mail me the bill.”  \n“That was on the house. You can show your appreciation by coming ton—”  \n“Rissa! I have to get this stuff done.
