Just some chitchat between roommates...
Note: Minnesota's inhabitants, no offense please.
It's not my real opinion ^^'

"In the Minnesota?" The girls exclaimed.
"Yes, it might be a long trip."
"And how it will be long! She lives in the middle of nowhere." Azul underlined.
"But not to that extent, no." Ellen contradicted.
"Oh yes, could you fit it on a map?" Azul asked her, in a defiant tone.
"Wait a minute, you don't mind." Ellen accepted the challenge.
And quickly, she returns with a plan, which she spreads on the kitchen's table.
"Just here." Ellen pointed at the state, in a split second.
"Well! Hands off, I wouldn't have found it." Azul reacted, impressed.
"But it's easy. It's one of the only states which have a curved shape." Ellen specified.
"Yeah, seeing it like that."
On these last words, the three roommates contemplate the state on the map.
"What's it, Azul? You seem worried."
"No, it's just... I don't know why but I get the feeling you're heading for troubles." Azul confessed, anxious.
"Azul, please. For once, I feel good about this and I found a job. Couldn't you be happy for me?"
"Hey, I never said I'm not. Which concerns me here, it's the fact you'll come for, I don't know how long."
"Wait, that's what scares you? And for holidays, so?"
"It's not the same thing."
"Azul, are you really awake we'll not stay definitively together here? That we'll finish to go our separate ways?"
"Me, yes. And believe me, when it happens, it will be the best day of my life. I'll have some privacy at last."
"If it concerns bathroom's episode, we told you it's not our fault."
"Continue to apologize, I'm still not buying that..." Max claimed, irritated. "Pigs." He whispered.
Followed this unflattering adjective, Ellen keeps from laughing, and Azul puts one hand on her face, exasperated.
"I know I can be vindictive, but with you, we reach a level, it's incredible."
"Well, to come back about our talk. Azul, you don't need to get hysterical. Maybe, he'll go back with her." Ellen anticipated, self-confident.
"Listen, she's nice, but I think she wasn't born yesterday. Besides, I'm almost sure she's already with someone."
"I can place bets, you know."
"Really? If that's it, I'll call Ernesto, we need a witness."
"We don't already have one?" Ellen questioned, by appointing Azul of the hand.
"What?! Ah no, no. I don't want to be involved in your crappy bets." Azul protested.
"That's what I thought it was. So, I'll call him later. To be short, Ellen, I have a good shot to fleece you."
"Blah-blah." Ellen teased him.
"And as for you, Azul, you can sleep soundly. Everything will be alright."
On this moment of rare confidence, Max was right. But he didn't except what he's going to wait him there.
