I walk quickly. Waiting for someone to pick up the other end of the line.
Ring, Ring, Ri-
"Hello?"
"Yah! Why didn't you pick up right away!?"
"I didn't notice my ce-"
"I don't care. Just listen to me. Before we closed...."

[After telling the whole story....]

"Are you serious?!"
I nodded and said
"Uhuh!"
"Kyaaaaaaaa!"
I cover my ears in pain.
"Don't scream. I'm not yet home. I'm walking home right now."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"At my house? We could go to the park...."
"At your house. I want a comfy bed to rest on while I listen to you getting all giggly and red and stuff."
"Hahaha. Alright. I'll call for pizza when I get home."
"Should I hang up?"
"No! It's so quiet and creepy here."
"Mom! I'll be going to Althea's house tonight! Yeah! We'll eat pizza there! I'll come home whenever!
Oh! Althea, I gotta go. My mom's asking me to do something and I have to take a bath. Good luck anyway."
"No!"
beep beep beep beep be-

Now I'm alone. It's so quiet here.
