A settled down on my bed, a soft blanket wrapped around my shoulders. I grabbed my phone, and went into text. I pullled out my notebook, and copied the number onto the screen. A hesitate before typing anything. Slowly, I type, Hey. I tap the small arrow, and wait for a reply. A small bubble with three dots pops up, and my heart beats a bit faster. That was quick. The reply comes up; Hi, is this Fawn? I gulp and continue our conversation.

Yup.

Great, it's good to talk to you, or kinda I guess. 

Heh. Ya.

Your a lot different when I get to know you, you seemed shy and quiet and first.

OH! Not like that!!!!!!  I mean you seemed like, calm and soft, kinda I guess.

Huh. I guess.

I smile. I wonder why he sat at my table. I have always believed in fate. Fate is why I'm silent. Fate is why Emma moved away. Fate is why Zeke came and sat at my table. I blink, and roll onto my back. The pale cream roof was dull as it sat above my head. My eyes flicker to the window. The moon was shining, it's crescent form standing out against the stars. The blanket of black made the stars and moon look like a black bear in a blizzard. The dim orange light of streetlights below cast shadows on the houses. I pause, and sit up.  I sigh and hear my phone buzz, sounding like the bell at school, but softer, and calmer. I reach for my phone, reading the text. On it, it says,    Hey Fawn! How's school going? I miss you!  Emma! 

Hi, Em. It's going fine. How are you?

Good. Have you made any friends? I don't want you going to school alone all year. 

Ugh. You worry too much. And I have, I think.

Oh, great! Who?

His name's Zeke.

Cool beans. 

Uh huh.

Bye.
