Right you were
So you've sent me a text. What next?
Did she leave any other instructions?
Funny
I'd like to think so
We should hang out again. Somewhere other than that tea shop
Agreed. I think you'll start associating me with garbage bins after this
Oops, I think it's too late for that
A minute went by while I fiddled with my thumbs, tapping them against the sides of my phone.
Can I call you?
I sat up as if he'd just walked into the room.
Right now?
If you're free
Yeah
I am
Lemme just leave the room. Dorm mate's asleep
Sure
I slowly got out of bed with the thought of his abrupt request.
"Hey," I spoke into my phone.
"I would've called you."
"Doesn't make a difference."
There was something about hearing someone's voice over the phone for the first time, adjusting to the difference in sound.
"Student loans?"
I gave a chuckle, mindlessly walking farther away from the dorms. "Good point. Where are you?"
"Behind you."
"Of course you are."
"Did you check?"
"No."
I did.
He snorted. "Right."
"So why'd you call?"
"Sort of have a job in mind for you."
"Yeah?" I leaned against a wall in the hall.
"Yeah. Meet me at the store tomorrow. I'll walk you there."
"Do I get a hint?"
"Nope."
"Nice."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
I glanced down at my phone after he ended the call.
You could have texted me that
No
Yes
He didn't leave a reply.

We took a trip up the mountains which is why I couldn't talk to you for a bit. Sorry about that. Nic enjoyed it, I think. He cried a little on the way up and I felt like doing the same, the bumps we had to drive over were infuriating. I think I banged my head against the window at least a billion times.Anyway, Dad drove and Mom sat next to him on the passenger seat while Nic and I sat at the back with Ian. It was nice seeing my dad like that, doing things like normal parents would. Road trips. I wish it wasn't a few years late, though. I would have liked it a lot better when I was a kid. I used to dream about it. I would be sitting at the back with Devin and we would be jamming to whatever we listened to back then. Probably some Fall Out Boy.
