Kate
When I woke up from my nap I noticed that I had about ten missed calls from
Brittney. Now why the heck did she try calling me that many time, I thought to
myself. I dialed her number and hit the call button.
“It’s about time,” Brittney said into the phone when she answered.
“Why’d you try calling so many times,” I asked her.
“Well, there’s something that I wanted to talk about,” Brittney said going serious
