I look over at the time and see that it's 11:10. Helen told me that if you catch the clock at exactly 11:11 it means someone is thinking of you.

I turn off my phone.

I want to be a nobody right now. Asher and I would always call each other at 11:11, even if he was in the middle of  baseball practice. I came to every game. Gosh. I miss him. I felt the tears flood down my face. I lay on my bed for what felt like forever. I look at my phone. It's 11:11.

I decide to call Helen and ask her for advice. "Hey Siri, send message to Helen 🤡 saying: I needs helps 🙏"

"Your message to Asher 😍 says: helps 🧹. Are you sure you want me to send this"

"Yup, wait! Asher? No!"

"Message sent"

Shit.
