Wrong Number

Chapter 7

"Do we have to go out tonight?" I moan to my roommates, dramatically throwing myself across the couch. "Don't start. You promised!" Haley pops out of the kitchen pointing a spatula in my direction.

"What did she just say?" Sean walks in, freshly out of the shower. "It's just been a really long week and-" "No. No, no, no. We are going out. We haven't gone out together in forever and I need this El," Haley says moving closer. I glance at Sean for any kind of support.

"Don't look at me, I need this too," he raises his brows spiritedly. I stare up the ceiling shutting my eyes with a defeated sigh. "Fine. Just Joe's right?" I wait for a response and when I don't get one I reopen my eyes giving them each a pointed look.

Sean shrugs at Haley like it's all yours before walking away and shutting the door behind him.

"Haley," I sit up. "Just Joe's right?" She swallows hard and nods with her green eyes looking past my head. "Mhm. Just Joe's." She turns back to the kitchen immediately after.

I'm too tired to even bother calling her on the obvious lie.

"I'm not going anywhere else but Joe's!" I call out so they'll both hear on my way to my room.

Yodel: I'm dead
Yodel: I'm actually dead
Yodel: I'm never texting you again

P: YOU'RE dead? I'm the one who woke up at 6 in the morning!
P: And you're texting me right now dweeb

Yodel: At least you didn't stay up until 4 in the morning!
Yodel: And I'm only texting you to tell you I'm not texting you anymore

P: YOU texted ME

Yodel: I couldn't sleep! :-(

P: Well congrats you played yourself 🤗

Yodel: You're mean when you're tired

P: Ditto

Yodel: I resent that

P: Would you like me to bring out the receipts mr. 'what do you want'?

Yodel: That was the morning and I hadn't had any coffee yet
Yodel: You know what low caffeine does to me

P: Well now I have to go out with my friends so if I die of exhaustion just know it's all your fault 😌

Yodel: Well I have to deal with the airport and people and when I collapse in the air they wont be able to help me and you're going to feel bad for being cranky with me

P: Ha ha jokes on you bc I wont feel bad

Yodel: ☹️

P: Like I said, you did this to yourself Leroy 🙃

Yodel: Oh is that my name today? Lol

P: Yes. And I'm right. Right?

Yodel: No

P: How am I supposed to know if you collapse in the sky if I don't even know your name?
P: I'll just read it online somewhere and think 'wow sucks to be that guy'
P: I'll have no idea

Yodel: If you hear about someone collapsing in the air just assume it was me

P: 🙄🙄🙄🙄
