An Exchange Between Two Friends

"I hate you" was what Joseph said to his friend upon entering the same hallway.
"What?" asked the friend, who went by the name of Stephen(pronounced Stef-on)
"I said I hate you."
"Why do you hate me."
"I hate you because of the way you feel about Tskara. You know the way I feel about her and you are going to pursue her in an emotional relationship anyway."
"I didn't know the way you felt about her. Sorry. I'll stop."
"No don't."
"Why not you said you hate me."
"Yeah I know."
"Then I'll stop pursuing her in an emotional relationship."
"Don't."
"But you'll hate me if I do."
"Yes I will, but don't."
"Ok, I guess bye then."
"Ok, bye, I hate you."
