~Your Abby~ <3
It had been just over a week since Abigail and Jake had made up, and Abigail was trying, yet again, to get Carli back too. Since their conversation last week, she had rushed home everyday after school hoping to find a reply to the e-mail she had sent. Her heart would leap every time she saw the little number that indicated “You’ve got mail”, but it was only ever spam.
The ‘sent’ message appeared just as Abigail’s phone rang loudly; shattering the silence of the empty house (her mom was still at work). She walked over to where she had carelessly thrown it onto her bed and picked it up. She didn’t need to look at the caller ID before answering, she knew who it was already.
“What’s up, Jake?”
“Guess.” Abigail could hear an unmistakable smile in his voice.
“More homework help? Wouldn’t it just be easier if we did it together? By the way, no one makes calls anymore.” She replied, smiling.
“I do.” He answered so seriously, Abigail had to try hard not to laugh.
“I can see that. But why not text? We both have unlimited....”
“If I texted you, I wouldn’t be able to waste your minutes, now would I?”
“They’re your minutes too, you know.”
Silence on the other end. This time, she couldn’t help but let a laugh escape. She had stumped him.
“I’ll be on IM then, next best thing.” He answered eventually.
“See you. Remember, Abby4eva!”
“Well someone certainly thinks a lot of herself.” He was the one laughing this time.
“Oh, ha ha, funny. I’m not the only one. This-Guy-Got-Swag? Pshhh, I don’t think so!”
“That hurts, Abs.” When he spoke, he definitely sounded wounded, but Abigail wasn’t buying it.
“Sure, sure. Just get your butt online.”
“Kay, cya!”
The line went dead. Still smiling, Abigail turned back to her laptop and waited for Jake’s IM icon to appear.
