Non-Sprout

A few days ago, I decided to get back to being nice to my dear dear blog inspiration (read as: ex-best bitchy friend), so I called her up, and we began our random chit-chat good for nothing conversations.
(Somehow, I'm in a 'conversation-typing' mood off late)

Character list:
Nut Case (pain-in-the-ass) = My 'best' friend
Pea Brain = Guy who asked her out
Me = Blog Writer (like you wouldn't know)

Nut Case: (with perfectly fake enthusiasm) OMG! Hi! Where have you been? Very busy and all, haan?

Me: (with much more perfectly fake enthusiasm) Oh! Nothing much, I've been busy (yeah right), playing and enjoying vacation and all..

Nut Case: (disappointed) Oh..... Okay...... You know what! 'Pea Brain' actually asked me out!

Me: (in utter disbelief) No way!

Nut Case: (gloating with pride) Yeah he did, he has been asking me out since so long, but I kept refusing him, you know, I've been so busy with work and the shifts have been so tiring, but it looks bad to keep refusing na like that, so I thought I'll go out with him...

Me: Yeah....

Nut Case: (flying on cloud nine) Its nothing much actually, we're just going to Bandra, or maybe we'll go to a shopping mall, or Cafe Coffee Day, the one by the beach....
Then later, we might just sit on the beach and talk, you know, the casual stuff....

Me: Yeah and...

Nut Case: (excitedly) and you know, that beach is so famous! We might even see a few film stars there! I'm so excited....

Me: Oh wow! (duh!)

Nut Case: (blushing uncontrollably) and you know what he said??

Me: err... no. What did he say?

Nut Case: (flying again) He said, that we won't travel by train, because he wants to see me all the time, and if we travel by train, then for one hour, he will be in the gents compartment, and I will be in the ladies na.... so he won't get to look at me, can you believe he said that! I was so embarrassed! (giggle giggle)

Me: Wow! He's really head over heels....

Nut Case: Oh! I'm getting another call, I'll call you in a while.... bye!

Me: Bye..

(two days later - Saturday - day of the date)
(my phone rings)

Me: Hello

Nut Case: (excitedly) HI!

Me: (damn!) Oh! Hi Nut Case.....

Nut Case: (giggles) Hi!

Me: You didn't come out yesterday? We expected you to be there...

Nut Case: Oh I was out shopping, I bought this new pair of corduroy pants, but the shade was too light, so it wouldn't go with anything, so I went to exchange them....

Me: Oh ok ok! Cool.. Sooooo you exchanged them?

Nut Case: Ya ya! You know what?

Me: Nope.....

Nut Case: He called up again, to confirm, if we were still going out!

Me: Wow!

Nut Case: He said Bandra would be too far, so we'll go someplace close...

Me: Oh (trying not to sound very disinterested) So you decided what you're gonna wear?

Nut Case: No No! This isn't a date or anything, I'll just pick something up from the cupboard and wear.... (yeah sure you will)
You know, he called up last night, from his friend's cell! His battery was low...
And he called in the morning also!

Me: Oh wow!

Nut Case: I thought I'll just call up and tell you, since you seemed really inquisitive....

Me: (wtf!) I sounded inquisitive???!

Nut Case: (matter-of-fact type tone) Yeah, so I just thought I'd tell you....

Me: (very bluntly) I wasn't inquisitive.....

Nut Case: Hey I gotta go now, I'll call back later, chal bye, take care....

Me: Bye
(drops dead)

Note to readers: Its Tuesday, the date hasn't happened yet......
