Maggie and Sam

Maggie: Did you find that class as boring as I did?
Sam: Huh?
Maggie: Did you think that class was boring?
Sam: Not really. I actually thought the lecture was interesting.
Maggie: Oh. I thought it was pretty boring.
Sam: Okay.
Maggie: I'm Maggie, by the way.
Sam: Hi, Maggie.
Maggie: What's your name?
Sam: Sam.
Maggie: Nice to meet you, Sam. What's your major?
Sam: History.
Maggie: Don't you want to know mine?
Sam: Not particularly.
Maggie: Excuse me?
Sam: I'm sorry. What's your major?
Maggie: Economics.
Sam: Nice.
Maggie: You're being an asshole.
Sam: What?
Maggie: You heard me. You're being an asshole. You could at least try to engage a little bit in conversation with me.
Sam: I'm sorry if I've offended you somehow, but I'm actually being very nice. You're the one who approached me on the sidewalk and started talking. I was listening to music, and I took my headphones out to hear what you were saying.
Maggie: You weren't trying to be nice at all. You just want me to go away.
Sam: You're right. I want you to leave me alone. But that doesn't make me an asshole. I'm in a hurry to get to my next class, and I don't even know you. 
Maggie: You have no respect for me as a human being. You think you can talk to me like that because I'm a fat girl, and no one cares about fat girls.
Sam: Okay, hold up. I didn't judge you based on your appearance. You're not even fat. I was trying to be nice while getting to my next class as fast as possible. I'm definitely going to be late now, so it doesn't even matter.
Maggie: You don't think I'm fat?
Sam: No, I don't. And I think you're a fine person. I didn't intend to be mean to you. If I had, I would've just said, "Fuck off."
Maggie: Then why wouldn't you talk to me? You didn't want to ask me what my major was.
Sam: That's not because I think you're fat. Even if you were, I wouldn't care. And that's exactly my point. I wasn't trying to be mean. I just don't care.
