A Flower Back ✔

[River walked through the school halls as he wondered about a girl he barely met, but as if she heard his thoughts, his phone pinged.]

[It was a message, from her. Knowing she was alright he had the urge to hear her voice. So he did what he did every other night. He called her.]

9.49AM

Outgoing call to
Petunia 🌸

[End Call]

"Riv?

"Hey petunia."

"Riv aren't you at school rn?"

"I am. But what about it?"

"Isn't it weird?"

"What?"

"I don't know. Something seems weird."

"They don't know I'm talking to you."

"Right.."

"Oh by the way, I'm sorry. I was really exhausted yesterday so I couldn't answer your call."

"It's fine. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah I did-"

"River, did you talk to Lixin? No Sabrina. I didn't. If you care so much call her yourself."

"She's probably still mourning her parents' loss. Sabrina. Shut up. I'm not buying your lies."

"Everyone here should know that her parents live across the country. How would you know unless she told you herself?"

"H-huh? Now if you excuse me, I'm talking to my girlfriend."

"River. Did you just tell Sabrina that you're my boyfriend?"

"It was just an excuse petunia."

"Although... I wouldn't mind that being true.."

"You flirt."

"Only for you. Hey I need to go the bell will go off any second now, I'll talk to you tonight. Ok?"

"I'm a little busy tonight, y'know packing and stuff."

"But tomorrow morning? Just like today?"

"Sure. Text me before you sleep. Bye petunia."

"Bye sunflower."
