"Thank you for covering for me B, I can't believe I missed the shuttle. Again!" I said putting on my cap while walking out to the play area

My best friend SaBre and I worked at six flags as inventory & hiring managers. I was late for the early morning video chat meeting for the park and asked her to cover for me. Oh yea, we also share an apartment in Trenton, New Jersey.

"No problem, you already kind of already made it up to me." She said smirking, while standing across from me

"Whatchu talm bout Willis?" I said looking around, waiting for customers to walk up

"So currently B5 is here in the park. They stopped by here and played a few games. I tried to stall a little longer but you were taking too long. So, when Carnell asked for my phone number... I gave him yours." She said with a smile on her face

"You did what now?!" I semi yelled

"B, your lying right? Tell me this is a joke!" I said in more of a frantic tone

She gotta be fucking with me right now is how I feel to be honest.

"No I'm dead serious." She said doing a little typing in her phone and walking to me

She pulled up the video surveillance camera and replayed back twenty minutes before I came into work. Indeed there it was, the video of her giving Carnell a piece of paper. I couldn't see if it was my number but I'm not even sure what to do if he text me. He thinks I'm her! He wants her.

"I can't believe you did this. What do I say when he does text me? Do I play it off like I don't know who it is ? Do I say wrong number? Do I just overall miss my chances? What to do?!" I asked her

"Girl, one you need to buck back down. Two you better take that chance and just tell him the truth! Even though he expected me show him you." She said taking the customers that was walking up.

Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate.

701-888-7722
-Hey, it's Carnell.

So what now? He's clueless right now. He thinks he's texting her

I decided to give my phone to B, she texted as if she was me and it's been going on our whole shift. It's been years since I've seen b5 personally. I don't even know what Carnell looks like now, any of the boys really.

I couldn't let go of the fact that she gave him MY number. Why not just say your taken or I could give you my friends number she seems pretty into you. Something that would've told him that number wasn't hers.

It was 10pm and we were closing up our station for the day. Once I told B about the message, she's been texting him back and forth all shift. I have no idea what she's saying or anything.

"Come on B, I gotta set the alarm." I said zippering up my pink puffer coat

It was early fall and during the night and near water, it's always freezing out.

"Coming. I'm going to go get the car." She said grabbing her bag and walking out the door

Putting in my code and making my exit. I locked up and proceed out.

Seeing B pull up I got in on the passenger side and adjusted the seat

"You seriously need to tell Jacob to stop leaving the chair back." I said jokingly

"I told him to put it back up and he just.. you know how guys get."

Jacob and B have been on and off for seven years since we graduated from high school. Things have changed the past two now, that we're older. I was single for the past few years but I really wasn't looking for a relationship but if the opportunity presents itself, I'm gone take it.
