Two weeks until college, Eviana Rose thought it was a good time to do a prank call. After a prank call gone wrong, Eviana caught herself talking to Kasen Rivear. What happens when college starts and she finds out that she has been non stop talking t...

For one week straight, I would stay up until Kasen called. It became a routine, I would stay awake an extra hour just to speak to him and then I would leave. It wasn't extra long calls and we mostly spoke about TV shows and random things like that. I still didn't tell him my name although every day he would ask.
Cassandra and I barely speak on social media, only in person. That's just how we are. I haven't seen her since she came over last week so I haven't gotten the chance to ask her who the hell was this person. It was already ten minutes past eleven. He would have called by now. Should I call?
No.
He's a Stanger.
I'm an idiot.
I got ready for bed and settled myself below my pink duvet. I kept twisting and turning. Maybe I should call. It kept bothering me and I concluded I couldn't sleep because of it.
I picked up my phone from the nightstand and called his number. "Stranger, I was just about to call," he says, followed by a yawn. "I butt dialed you," I blurted out the lie quickly. "Hmm...I totally believe you, now...how was your day?" Kasen happily changed the subject.
"Fine," I answered.
"Well I went to the beach today and I'm completely tired yet I knew I wanted to call you," Kasen expressed. "Why's that?" I was curious to know why he wanted to call me. "Because I want to know your name..." he says softly.
"It's lucy," I lied and he laughed.
"That's a lie."
"No, it isn't," I defended myself although it truly was a lie. "Yes, it was because I've asked you for seven days and you've never told me," Kasen points out and I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me.
"Whatever, it isn't Lucy," I admit and Kasen laughed.
"I know."
"You sound like an Emily, or maybe Rose, or Casey," he continued to go on and on about random names.
"It's Eviana."
Why would I tell him that?
I'm so stupid.
"What?"
"Eviana, that's my name," I repeat and the line is quiet for a couple of seconds. "I believe you," Kasen whispers into the phone.
"Good."
We talked a bit while he informed me of the silly things he and his friends did at the beach. I learned that he's a college student and not a high school student. That would be weird. "Hey Kasen, how old are you?" I ask randomly. "Nineteen and soon to be twenty, you?" He casually responded. I could hear the tiredness in his voice yet neither of us wanted to end the call yet.
"Twenty three," I lied.
"Somehow I think that's true," Kasen admits with a chuckle and I roll my eyes again. "Is my name familiar to you?" I questioned with the thought of Cassandra. Maybe I should ask him about her but I don't trust him. I told him my name, yes but I was good at lying.
"No it isn't, why?"
"I think you forgot about my friend," I point out and he groaned. "Great, now I have to figure out who's that friend..." Kasen huffed. Say goodbye, Eviana. Before you get any closer to this unknown man. Maybe there was a reason why Casandra didn't tell me who he is.
"Yup, anyways, goodnight Kasen," I forced myself to say. "Goodnight Eviana," he whispered into the speaker before the line cut. As expected, there was a frown on my face.
