“Poor choices.” Summer stomps. “You know what Garret does. He makes women –” She throws both hands in the air. “Insane with his penis.”

I take a deep breath, ignoring her, and look down at my phone, reading text after text.

Remi, it’s very important that we reach you…

Matter of great importance…

Emergency…

“Are you even listening to me, Remi?” Summer huffs.

“Look, I have to go. I love you, and I promise we’ll straighten this all out later. I didn’t know, I swear. But right now, I really have to deal with something. Let’s grab lunch. I’ll order in, and we can eat in my classroom. Okay?” I ask without waiting for an answer and walk out. I press the call button on the phone and lift it to my ear, hurrying out the back door before I remember I left my car at the bar.

“Need a lift?” Adler walks up beside me and looks at me sympathetically. So, I simply nod.

I finish listening to the final voicemail just as we get into the car, and I hang up, putting my phone back into my purse.

“A penny for your thoughts,” Adler chuckles from the driver’s seat.

“Just one?” I exhale, “It really fucking sucks being tomorrow’s Remi today.” Fuck.

The End….
