||
| − | *{{d|pj}}: [''trying to shout over the other voices''] Omg, it is possibly one of the most expensive private schools in the country{{em}}and that is because literally no one in my classes have heard about that, trust me; I've asked around the whole wide world because I was voted ''MISS CONGENIALITY!'' |

| − | *{{d|pj}}: Oh bother, it's not like it's about you. |
||
| − | *{{d|xim}}: Have you got a crush? |
