To make out a conspiracy charge, the facts must show that you and someone else mutually agreed to engage in criminal conduct. In this case, it appears that the conspiracy exists in the selling of an illegal pill or drug. Calling your friend for a particular pill is not necessarily a conspiracy within itself, but if the pill is an illegal substance in which the unauthorized sell of such drug/pill is prohibited by law, then a conspiracy charge could be made out from these facts.
