Hey What are you up to tonight?

I knew that whatever it was, it wouldn't be e while I was out exploring the great big world I felt pretty guilty about it, but I felt even uilty about the fact that I hadn't kept in touch with her when I went to college My phone chirped with her response

Hey girl! Nothingready to head home You?

I didn't kno to respond, so I just lied

Same

I immediately felt like an idiot She knew I didn't have a job so there was nothing I could really be cleaning up, except for my dorm room Still, she probably wouldn't call me out on it My phone chirped

Oh, ok Enjoying that New York City night life?

I laughed This next text wouldn't be a lie

Not tonight

Her next text caught me by surprise

Did you confess your love to James yet?

That was Tessa, always blunt and to the point I didn't love him, I just wanted to fuck him I knew that I knew it I didn't kno to answer her, though Should I just lie to her? Should I tell her that it was none of her business Should I tell her everything?

I fiddled withfor Tessa to wait Her face popped up andthat the easiest thing forup That would be so rude, though, and it would just ht here, ere just texting

Eventually I hit the green “Answer” button “Hey Tessa!” I answered, sounding cheerful

“Dish,” she said in a deadpan voice
