Lil: How do you think poor Heather is feeling right now?

Jordan: Very upset. I didn’t mean to upset her Lil, I was just trying to impress Julie.

Lil: Really? Well that was a crappy thing to do.

Jordan: I’m sorry Lil. I’ll apologise to Heather, give her a hug and we’ll be friends.

Lil: That is if you find her. I want you to stay in this room until Heather gets back. *leaves the room*
