Yes

"Yes, It's 611-978-1598"

Brad quickly put the number into his phone.

"611...978...15..."

"98. Use it sometime."

I walked away.

That night I was working on my homework, in my bed when my phone lit up. I quickly checked my phone, it was Brad.

JUSTIN: Hey.

KATE: Oh... hey.

JUSTIN: What up?

KATE: Homework. Sorta. U?

*

My mom walked into my room.

"Kate? You know I don’t want you on the phone when there’s homework." She said to me.

"I’m using the calculator," My phoned pinged again. "And helping a friend with homework."

"Do I know this friend?"

"Do you know any of them?"

This time my phone ringed. I glanced at my phone.

*

FACETIME CALL: JUSTIN.

*

"More homework?" She said.

"We’re working on this math problem."

I quickly answered. Justin looks hot even on Facetime. But Mrs. Brock snatched the phone.

"Hello Brad. Kate is doing her homework."

"Oh, uh, hey, Mrs. Brock. Yeah, we’re, uh, working on a... math problem." He answered.

"All right, then. Let me know if I can help."

She handed my phone back to me, she left the door ajar as she walked away. I quickly got up, closed her door and locked it.

"So. Hey." I said.

"Hey."

"You needed help with a math problem?"

"No, I just said that to..."

"Because I’ve got homework of my own, Brad. I can’t just talk on the phone all afternoon."

"Oh. I’ll call back."

"No! I mean -- which problem did you need help with? The one about... uh, the trains?"

"The trains?"

"Two trains leave at different times. But when do they meet?"

"Oh. Ohhh! Yeah. Uh. Train A is leaving my house in a few minutes. Train B is leaving your house..."

"In fifteen minutes." I said finishing his sentence.

"Fifteen minutes seems awfully slow for two trains going full speed."

"Eisenhower Park at the bottom of the rocket slide!" I whispered into the phone. After I ended the call I squealed with delight.
