Dismiss her.

"Well, I've got a lot to do, Mom and I'm sure you do too," you say. "I don't want to talk about this any more right now. We'll talk about it another time."

She looks crestfallen, but nods curtly. "I'm sorry again, Parker. Tell me if there's anything I can do to make it up to you." With that, she walks out of your room.

As soon as your mother leaves, your phone rings. You pick it up. "Hello?" you say.

"Parker? Is that you?" That's definitely Emily's voice.

"Emily!" you say. "Yes, it's me. Where are you?"

"You're not Parker," she says. "Who is this?"

"No, really, it's me, Parker," you say. You start to try to explain everything that's happened to you in Rosestead. You're met by dead silence on the other end.

When you finally pause to take a breath, she says, "Look, I don't know who you are, but this isn't funny. Parker told me this was his personal phone. I call him up and some floozy answers and then has the nerve to claim to be Parker. Well, you tell Parker that it's over between us." You hear a click and the phone goes dead.

Ah well, you think to yourself, now that you are a girl yourself, you've got more important things to worry about than a girlfriend anyway. Besides, she never really seemed to like you much.

You sit down at your desk to do your homework.
