Zack said, "Are you guys purposely keeping me awake?"
Abigail replied, "I'm totally beat, I'm off to bed. Goodnight, Zack, Nelly!"
Zack responded, "I'm not letting you sleep!"
But with a 'ding', Abigail had left the video call.
Zack turned to Cornelia, "Nelly, you should get where I'm coming from. If I didn't know you guys have a secret, I could take it easy. But knowing that you have a secret and not telling me is driving me up the wall."
Cornelia nodded, "I get it, that's really rough."
Zack pressed on, "Then can you tell me what the secret is?"
Cornelia shook her head, "Can't say now, in about a month you should find out."
Zack was about to lose it, "Another month? Do you guys want to keep me up at night for the next month?"
Cornelia suggested, "You should stop thinking about it for now."
Zack replied, "We grew up together, when you first got your periods and were too shy to buy pads, I was the one who bought them! We three never had secrets, now suddenly you have one and won't tell me! It's not just curiosity. I feel betrayed, like I'm being left out."
Zack went on and on trying to appeal to Cornelia, but she calmly responded, "Zack, that trick won't work on me."
Zack continued, "I'm like this, and you still won't tell?"
