The phone vibrated across the wooden drawer, almost falling to its doom. I grabbed it quickly and saw it was a text from her. Confused, I replied to her as fast as I could.

What's wrong? You know that school doesn't start until 9:45 today, right?

Oh, that explains it.

I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

When I saw her, I pulled her in for a hug. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just needed to get out." She gave a weak smile, covered in tiny white lies.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. We have two hours to kill. Want to go to the pet store?"
