I Stare At the Phone

I wake up to my alarm and groan as I turn over to turn it off. I really should've turned it off since I wasn't planning on going to school. I peek out of my curtain to see that Chase has just woken up and started getting ready for school.
I crawl back into bed and slide all the way under the covers. Can I really avoid him for this long?
I listen to Chase start his car and wait for a few minutes before driving away. I check my phone to see he didn't even text me to see if I was going to school or not.

I check my phone to see that Chase should be in English class right now and still hasn't messaged me. Gwen messages me:

Gwen
Still hasn't contacted you at all?

Me
No. He didn't even know I was skipping school today and just left without so much as checking on me to see if I was running late

Gwen
Wow

Me
Yeah...

Gwen
No boy I know listens that well to a girl needing space

Me
*shrugs*

Gwen
Give it time, you still have the rest of the day to see how he feels

I stir to the sound of a car engine turning off and check the time, school's out. Looking out of my window, I see Chase walking into his house... with another guy following him. Weird.
My phone buzzes with a text and I secretly hope it's Chase, but it's from Gwen:

Gwen
Still nothing?

Me
No. He just got home tho and another guy is with him so *shrugs*

Gwen
Damn

Hours pass with absolutely no notifications. I fight the urge to look out of my window and spy on him. If he doesn't seem to care, why should I? It's clear he's made new friends, anyways.
