Kylee glanced at her phone for the tenth time in thirty minutes, shifting uncomfortably in her seat in class. She usually wouldn't have her phone out of her backpack during lecture, but Dennis has been quiet lately. Sure, he's been texting her, but it was shorter responses than she was used to. Still, she didn't pressure him to respond.

After her day of classes, Kylee sat in her bed in her dorm. Leigh was editing a video for her YouTube channel and when she went to refill her water in their shared bathroom, she paused to tilt her head at Leigh.

"You and that stranger still talking?"

Kylee looked up from her book and nodded. "Yeah."

Leigh frowned a little. "It seems like he's been busy, yeah?"

"If he's in college like he says, then yeah." Kylee shrugged.

Leigh glanced at Kylee's down-turned phone. Then she smirked. "You miss him," she sang.

Kylee through her book at her.

i'm back!
