Zoe (messaging):

Emily (aloud): I am going to lose it.
Her phone, ringing: CALL FROM: Markus ♥
Emily (answering): What is it?
Markus: Whoa! Hey! You alright?
Emily: Yeah, just pissed off.
Markus: Why, what's happened?
Emily: Nothing, just - nothing, it's fine. What did you want?
Markus: Um, to see if you'd like to grab lunch?
Emily: Well, my plans fell through, so, sure.
Markus: Okay. Me and the guys are at the Wholefoods caf, so -
Emily: Your wanker mates?
Markus: C'mon, they're not wankers...
Emily (picking up her notebook off the ground): Ok, ok... I'll be cool, calm, and collected when I get there, I promise. See you soon.
(Cut to Emily sitting, stewing, a black cloud around her head, at a table with Markus and three of his friends.)
Markus: Yeah I've been in a real writing flow too!! I've got all new stuff for the next Slam Night, Em and I will -
(The others converse with him, but their words are paraphrased by narration saying): ALL TALKING ABOUT WHAT POETRY NIGHTS AND PUBLICATIONS THEY'RE GOING FOR AND WHATEVER
