Challenge
Write a scene entirely in dialog. "He/She said" is permissible but adverbs that end in "ly" are 100% off limits. Be subtle, but do not be boring.
"Hi. What's your name?"
"Um..."
"Okay, Um, I'm Selena."
"Oh."
"What do you want to do?"
"I dunno. And my name's not Um."
"Notum, then! Do you want to play tag?"
"I said, my name's not-"
"I know your name's Notum. You don't have to remind me."
"But-"
"Tag or no tag?"
"Tag..."
"Okay, Notum! You're it!"
"My name's not Notum..."
"Notum, Notum, you can't catch me!"
"I don't like you."
"That's okay, Notum, because I like you. We're friends."
"Well... I guess I like you a bit..."
"Friends?"
"Friends."
"Catch me, Notum!"
