For the first time in a while, I don't have math after band practice. I find myself home earlier than expected, until I suddenly realize something. I told him 'I don't need your math lessons anymore', but I never told him 'I can't give you your lessons anymore'. This means I'll have to contact him again. With a sigh, I grab my phone.
You:
Hey Jexie, I realized I forgot to tell you that, in addition to me not needing your lessons anymore, I won't be able to teach you as well. Sorry for the late notice.
Within a few seconds, I get a reply.
Jexie:
Are you sure you can do it without me?
The answer annoys me. But before I can react, another text comes in.
Jexie:
You went home, didn't you? I'm coming over.
I send him multiple texts telling him not to, but he doesn't even receive them. So I head to my only friend, who is also my biggest foe: Christine.
"Christine, please tell him I'm not home," I beg her. "I can't see him right now."
