You FaceTime Sarah that evening

That evening, I was lying across my bed when I decided to FaceTime Sarah. I hadn't talked to her properly in a couple of days, and with spring break coming up, I figured we'd have plenty to catch up on.

She answered after a few rings, her face appearing on my screen with a big smile.

"Hey, you!" she said.

"Hey, beautiful." I grinned. "How's my favorite person doing?"

"Pretty good. Better now."

We spent a few minutes talking about the usual things. She told me about a test she'd been studying for, I complained about the workload I'd just finished, and we joked about how much we were both looking forward to graduation.

Then Sarah got this particular smile on her face. She seemed almost too excited to keep whatever she was thinking to herself.

"What?" I asked. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like you've got some big secret."

"Maybe I do."

I sat up against my pillows. "All right, you've got my attention. What's going on?"

Sarah leaned closer to her camera, practically beaming. "So, what are you doing for spring break?"

"Honestly? Probably sleeping in, going to the gym, and enjoying not having classes for a week. Why?"

I said that knowing full well I’m probably going to be balls deep inside a ton of sluts that week.

"Well..." She paused dramatically. "I might have made some plans."

I narrowed my eyes playfully. "Should I be worried?"

"No, idiot." She laughed. "I'm coming to visit you!"

I blinked.

"Wait. Seriously?"

"Seriously! I talked to my mom, figured out the travel arrangements, and got everything sorted out. I'll be there for spring break."

I sat up straighter on my bed, breaking into a bigger smile. "Wait, you're actually coming here for the whole week?"

Sarah laughed. "Yes, Ethan! How many times do I have to tell you?"

"That's amazing, babe. I'm serious. I've missed you so much." I leaned closer to the screen. "We're going to have so much fun."

She grinned. "Good, because I've already started thinking about all the things we can do. We can go out to dinner, maybe take a little day trip somewhere, watch movies, and just spend time together without having to worry about when we can call each other next."

"That sounds perfect," I told her. "We'll make the most of it."

And I meant enough of it that my enthusiasm didn't feel entirely fake. I did miss Sarah, but I’d have plenty of time with her after graduation and I move back home.

This was supposed to be a week with no classes, no real responsibilities, and plenty of opportunities to have some fun and fuck as many girls as possible.

Now Sarah was coming.

I couldn't exactly tell her I'd been looking forward to spending the week chasing other girls.

"So, are you excited?" Sarah asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I looked back at her smiling face.

"Of course I am, babe. I can't wait to see you."

She beamed. "I knew you'd be happy!"

“I am, babe. I can’t wait to see you.” I glanced at the time. “Hey, though, it’s getting late, and I’ve got an early morning tomorrow. Mind if we call it a night?”

“Of course! I love you.”

“Love you too. Talk tomorrow.”

We said goodbye, and I ended the call. My smile faded as I tossed my phone onto the bed.

Spring break was going to be a lot more complicated than I’d planned.
