Chapter 255: Boyfriends, Part 2

Sometime later, I awoke to Aunt Beth banging on my door. "Chloe, dinner's ready."

I bolted upright, turned on my phone screen, and squinted at the time - 6:15 PM. No way! I'd slept the entire day away, which meant I wouldn't be sleeping tonight. That was just great, especially when I had school tomorrow.

"Coming," I said, forcing myself out of bed.

My phone showed two missed calls from Trent and seven new messages. I wanted to answer them all right now, but doing so would probably upset Aunt Beth, so I resisted the urge and headed downstairs.

Everyone else was already at the table, and I took my seat. Dinner was a quiet event tonight, and it was over quickly. As soon as I finished my chores, I raced back up to my room and snatched my phone.

Trent: ARE YOU AWAKE YET?

Trent: HELLO?

Trent: YOU MUST STILL BE SLEEPING.

Trent: WOW. YOU'RE REALLY TIRED, HUH?
