KAI: I’ve got something to tell you.

MATT: I’m in love with you, too.

KAI: You clown!

MATT: Look who’s talking! Okay, tell me. What is it?

KAI: I’m going on a date with Obi.

MATT: WHAT? REALLY? WHEN?

KAI: Next weekend after bouldering.

MATT: TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!

KAI: He came to Mum’s market stall today to ask me, but he couldn’t get the words out. So, I ended up asking him out.

MATT: I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

KAI: Really?

MATT: Of course. The way he’s been looking at you the past two weeks at bouldering, it was obvious he liked you.

KAI: I was kinda worried.

MATT: Why?

KAI: I thought you liked him, too.

MATT: I’ve got eyes, haven’t I? He’s obviously hot but even if I did like him, it was clear he liked you and not me.

KAI: So, you’re okay with it?

MATT: Of course! So, where’s the posh boy taking you?

KAI: I’m taking him to a place I’ve been to before with my mum.

He’s vegan.

So, I thought I’d start with a vegan place for our first date.

Before I reveal that I’m actually a massive carnivore.

MATT: Do you think that’ll be a deal-breaker?

KAI: I hope not.

MATT: THIS IS SO EXCITING! YOU ONLY JUST CAME OUT LAST WEEK AND NOW YOU’RE GOING ON YOUR FIRST DATE!

KAI: I KNOW!!!
