Plastic Taste { Joji a.u. }

the one where they miss one another

She ran the rest of the way home from the bus stop.

She was holding down a job at a bakery in town.

She looked at her watch and kept running.

The time difference between them was enough to create a bit of a problem.

She needed to get home fast.

Tonight was a night in which George and Emi had time to Skype, and she was determined to get as much time as she could with him, even if it was through a laptop.

She entered her front door and slipped off her shoes as fast as she could, which resulted in her slamming into the wall and tripping.

She tossed her shoes at the front door, taking a moment to catch her breath before she called out to her mom and ran to her room, grabbing her laptop and signing into Skype.

She caught her breath only to have it immediately pick up again when the notification that Joji was online.

She stared intently until a little message from him popped up.

'U ready?' It read.

'Always.' She responded.

Then, her heart soared when that familiar tone popped up, signalling a call that she accepted faster than she could blink.
