"Hi?" I say carefully as I sit up in bed.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah, but it's fine. Are you okay?"
"I, uh, couldn't stop thinking about you so I called."
"At least you have the privilege of calling when you can't stop thinking about me. I've been worried sick all week and there was no way I could reach you."
"I'm so sorry. I only replaced my phone earlier tonight and-"
"It doesn't matter." I cut him off. "How've been?"
"Miserable. I moved out, by the way."
"I know. Where are you staying?"
"I got an apartment uptown but they're still furnishing it and everything. I should be able to move in tomorrow."
"In the meantime?"
"I'm at my grandma's."
"Your grandma doesn't mind you missing school?"
"She's a cool one. She's also been giving me baking lessons so-"
I laugh at the smile
