21. Congratulations!

I almost laughed out loud at their exchange. God, how I missed her.

"We have two weeks and some days to graduation, almost three." Chloe said smiling sadly at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I have no plans after graduation. All I know is I want to be independent somehow."

"We'll see about that when that time comes."

I decided to call her phone just to see her reaction. So I hesitated over tapping the call button against her name but I eventually called.

Her phone started vibrating in her backpack, she raised one finger at her friend to retrieve it.

The colour on her face dried up as she looked at the screen. She watched it ring in utter shock her mouth hanging open.

Her friend snatched the phone from her hand and scanned the screen too with her eyes, her mouth dropped open too.

"Pick it up." She pushed the phone back into her hands. Chloe shaked her head instantly. Her face looked as if she had seen a ghost and it hurt me to see her watching her phone ring until it died
