NATALIE
(Looks at Josh in disagreement)
Well before all this Ibiza stuff, we really need to focus on more important matters
JOSH
Like?
NATALIE
Like our GCSE’s coming... or have you forgotten about that?
JOSH
Of course not but that doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead, *sighs* just relax, I’m prepared don’t worry, it’ll be alright.
