Girl 1: Jess and Caroline are pretty tight these days.

Girl 2: I know.  You would think they were BFF or something.

Girl 1: You sound a bit green!

Girl 2: Well Jess and I go way back.  We’ve been chilling together since we were lighties.   And suddenly she drops me for Marilyn.  It’s just not cool.

Girl 1: But you’re going to the party at her folks’ pad on Saturday, right?  So she hasn’t really dropped you.

Girl 2: You’re right.  I am just being a hater because Marilyn seems to have it all and I guess I’m jelly.
