I turn off my phone, ignoring Ruby's huff on the other side of the screen, and I proceed to analyse the situation: my room's a total mess, full of clothes spread everywhere and a barely full suitcase.

Maybe the baggage is too big... Or I'm not sure about the clothes I'm going to wear...

The flight is tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, and the state in which my bedroom is at the moment is not helping at all. Besides, tonight I am supposed to go hang out with some of my colleagues from class together with Ruby, but clearly I won't be able to go.
