"hello?" I say, answering the unknown call.

"talk to me." A boy demands, shakily on the other end.

"who is this?"

"just please i - i need you to talk to me."

"um... what's your favorite color?"

"black."He replies

"mine is blue." I say.

"together we're black and blue." He chuckles half-heartedly.

"that sounds painful." I try to joke.

"trust me, it is." He says almost to himself.

Then he hangs up.

"is it you?" I say.

"yea."

"what's your name?"

"just... call me Eli." He replies.

"okay." I sigh. "your music is up really loud."

"of course my music's up loud. i'm trying to drown out everyone's stupidity."
