(Alan’s home)

Alan: I can’t believe from Monday our term starts.

Brad: Ya it’s only 2 days.

Alan: Well we got today tomorrow and Sunday that’s three.

Brad: It’s already afternoon.

Alan: See that’s your problem bud you just don’t value time.

Brad: Ok and you do. I was aiming to be at the top 20 at the first exams. I have a good schedule unlike you Alan Timor.

Alan: Ok stop that. You remind me of Tabitha when you say that. I spoke to her last night and she bored me for nearly 2 hours.

Brad:2 hours?

Alan: Well she was asking about some journal to impress her boss to up her salary.

Brad: Isn’t she a intern?

Alan: Well she is already an employee---listed.

Brad: See that is time value unlike you Alan. I mean concerts,parks……

Alan(interrupting): Wooo…….you are only saying that Violet is A top league ahead of me. I mean no one can beat a hot giel……………..even not me.

Brad: What do you mean Alan?

Alan: Well a year ago……you always wanted to be with me. But since Violet has been your girlfriend everything has changed.

Brad: Ya you are right though.

Alan: Look don’t take it personal ok. I mean I helped you meet her and yes she is the top of the cool chain maybe evn good than me or Jane or Eva. But you shouldn’t insult your best buds man.

Brad: Ya I know but seriously cool chain………..you need to change your creativity dude. If I have changed, then so have you. I mean not last month but since like when you hung out with Amber.

Alan: Well maybe but still you do insult me like Jane.

Brad: Well you do sometimes talk like my sister……………………… Ok bud I’m sorry ok.

Alan: Ya me too. And speaking of my sister I had to give her a journal.

Brad: Ya you were talking about her.

Alan: Ok where was I?……………..Ofcourse she wanted my journal to so that she was funloving and enjoyable to please her boss to raise her salary for the next month.

Brad: And a journal will do that?

Alan: Dude she is an Engineer. They have to work all the time. Only journals or gifts will please their employers.

Brad: Really and your journals?

Alan: See the insult is back……………..But that doesn’t change the fact that I am quite extrovert and fun-loving.

Brad(laughing): What you are Shakespeare now?

Alan: Ok encouragement is what you lack……….i did study some English.

Brad: Wait tell me you are joking.

Alan: Why?

Brad: So Alan Timor has a diary then?

Alan: It’s a Journal ok.

Brad: When I read it I will know.

Alan: Well only if you sign a contract.

Brad: What………….bullshit contract for what?

Alan: For no insult and not showing anyone else.

Brad: Ok. But will you let me take it I will bring it at Monday ok.

Alan: Well Tabitha took the original.

Brad: Ok.

Alan: But I do have a duplicate.

Brad: Really bud?

Alan: Well actually she took a photocopy before she went to Colorado. You know her. She is calculative and knows what to do before a long time ago.

Brad: So why did she ask you then?

Alan: She actually wanted to make me feel good infront of dad. That’s all.

Brad: Looks like you are looking forward.

Alan: Well that was boring?

Brad: Buying lions,leopards and Tibet,Nepal and India is boring? Really.

Alan: She didn’t went to Nepal. She was bluffing.

Brad: Bluffing and Helena?

Alan: Ok look the diary is for me to look cool and involving her activities would make her cooler ok. I mean if somebody heard us going to Tibet or Katmandu or Gujrat would take us to another level.

Brad: Katmandu?
