"Evelyn, I'm giving you this telephone, okay? Please put it near your bed."

OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO CALL MY MOM OH NO

I snatched the telephone and dialed the number frantically.

She picked up almost immediately.

Like it barely had time to ring..

"Evelyn, you're late! Did you forget to call..??"

"..no.." I lied.

LISTEN TECHNICALLY I DIDN'T, OKAY ?!

I heard her sigh in frustration.

"Okay, what happened today? Did you meet somebody this time?"

"Well, actually! I did. There's this boy named-"

Before I could finish, I heard her sigh nervously at the mention of a boy.

???

"This boy named Alex. He's pretty cool. He seems the cool, silent type." I smiled, ignoring it.

"Just be careful, Evelyn. Boys can be terrible. Please be careful. Don't forget it."

A pang of anxiety hit me as she said that.

"Yes, of course mom. I love you!" I decided to cut it short.

"I love you. May God bless you."

"God bless you!" I giggled before the call quit.

I closed my eyes, and fell asleep, hoping I didn't forget anything.
