"I think stupid people were put onto this earth to test my patience."

Jaimie-mae was sitting in a bathroom stall at her school, trembling. She could hardly hold her phone as she scrolled through her contacts, that's how shaky she was.

The silent tears ran down her face as she waited for Fabian to pick up. 

"Hey Jaimie," Fabian whispered.

"H-hi F-"

"Are you crying? What's wrong?"

"I-i," she stopped to swallow back down a sob.

"Jaimie-baby i need you to hang up. I can't talk now out loud. I'll text you though. Okay?"

"No please don't go. I need you," she choked out.

"I know, i know," he sighed quietly. "Look, i'm at an interview right now, so the only way i can communicate is through text. I want you to hang up please."

"I am so sorry. I didn't know you had an int-"

"No. Stop apologizing. Just hang up please. I promise i'll text you right after you do. And then i'll call you back after my interview."

"Okay," she said reluctantly.

She hung up the phone and not even five seconds later a text popped up on her phone

Hi

Hi

Deep breaths please

What? Why?

I know your hyperventilating over there

No i'm not

Yeah, you are. I just got off the phone with u

Oh right. 

Stop! You're going to make me laugh in my important interview

Oh, sorry

Didn't i just say stop apologizing

Yes

So why are you not listening?

Because

That's not a proper answer

So, you do that to me all the time

Yeah, and?

See you just did it again

Did what?

That!

I told you to stop making me laugh

I don't mean to

Quick change of subject. And I don't mean to make this awkward, but my dad found the blood sheets from last week

Oh my gosh. That's so embarrassing. What happened?

He thought i got in a fight again. He got super mad. You should have seen his face, it was so funny
