”Never mind, then.” We arrived at the school and I hopped out, slamming the door. As much as I hadn’t wanted to be angry with Ash, she could’ve at least tried to understand what I was saying. Pretend at least.

      “I’ll see you later.” I mumbled. Today was a Wednesday, the only day of the week that I didn’t actually need to worry about taking Ashley home. Today also was one of my days that i only had two classes. Thank God!

      My cell phone rang, and i slipped it out of my purse. Unknown. I clicked talk on the touch screen, and held the phone next to my ear.

      “Hello, this is Ariana Jemean, may I ask who’s calling?” There was a slight sigh of relief on the other end of the line.

      “Ariana.” It wasn’t a question. The voice was a sweet, young women’s voice. It seemed so familiar, yet, I couldn’t place it.

      “Yes?” I waited, patiently walking towards the office for my first class, office aid. They never mind if I use my cell phone, that’s always a good thing.

      “It’s me. Sarah.” Sarah. The only Sarah I knew at this school was…actually, I don’t remember ever meeting a person named Sarah, especially never giving anyone named Sarah a phone number…except for my… “Okay, just listen to me. It’s Sarah Jemean, I know, I’m not actually dead, but I’m a long ways away from you. I love you, sweetie. I never stopped loving you, but I couldn’t put your life in danger. You’ll understand all of this once you open your letter at midnight tonight. Happy Birthday, honey. I’ll see you soon.”

      She hung up. I clicked end, and slid it into my purse. I sat down wherever I was standing, which wasn’t the smartest idea. Students tripped over me, sense I ended up in the middle of the hall. I didn’t care, until my stomach churned, and I felt like I was going to puke, right then and there. I rushed towards the bathroom, and pushed my way through the line.
