When Lynx woke up her phone was going off. Not thinking, she answered it.
"Hello," Lynx tried to introduce herself but she was cut off.
"Lynx, thank god I thought you'd done something. Listen I'm sorry okay? I really thought Jamie's mother was sick. She told me she was dying Lynx. I know why you are mad, and I get why, but I wasn't trying to hurt you. I promise."
Lynx felt her eyes tear up. She knew this deep down, that Lauren hadn't meant to hurt her, but she had wanted to be mad. She wanted to throw a fit like a two year old.
"I ..I know Lauren. I just got mad. Thank you for apologizing. I forgive you, just promise you don't ever do anything like that again."
"I promise Lynx. How's Japan been? I hope you can still have a nice trip." Lauren babbled, trying to change to a less awkward topic, but falling.
"I'm going home today actually, there is no way I'm staying alone in such a big place."
The rest of the conversation was just as awkward. Lauren invited Lynx over to her flat, and of course Lynx accepted.
Lynx packed for her flight, and continued her day. Her flight was uneventful, and do was her ride home, when she finally got home however, something very interesting happened.
Lauren- u going 2 the dance?
It was a weird text. Lynx wasn't going, and didn't plan to. She quickly texted back.
Lynx- no
Lauren- why not
Lynx- nobody wants to go with me
Lauren- what if I took you
Lynx stared at her phone intensely. Did she just get asked to a dance by Lauren? The same Lauren she's liked since fourth grade? Had the planet also stopped spinning? Wasn't Lauren dating Jamie?
Lynx- sure if you want to
Lauren- k I'm picking you up at 8
Shit, Lynx thought, and threw on a dress.
