The call

"Hello?" I ask the unknown number.

"Well hello, there Grace!" I recognize the voice immediately.

"H-hi. Long time no see, huh?" I thought that she blocked me or was just ignoring me. I never did save her as a contact after that time.

"You didn't forget about me, did you?" Her voice pouts. She's teasing me, but I don't enjoy it as I used to. I used to laugh and smile with her. But nothing's ever the same.

"How could I? We were pretty recent, it's not like it's avoidable..." I don't like this phone call. Why is she calling me?

"I'm guessing this is one phone call you never expected." She's still teasing me and I hate it. I kind of want to hang up on her. Knowing her, she'd probably call back and spam me.

"I guess you could say that. Or maybe I've just been avoiding it." Now it's my turn to tease her.

"Tch, you always were one for rude remarks every once in a while." She scoffs. She probably wants to hang up too, but she knows this phone call is torturing me. She's enjoying every second of it and she knows it. Two can play at that game.

"Oh, you know me ALL too well!" I am fluent in sarcasm and she knows it. I know it drives her mad.

"Yeah, like you ever knew me." Sarcasm just isn't her thing and she knows I'm about to drive her insane. I would never do it before, but why not at this point? She acts as I deserve it, but I'm not going to let myself be manipulated.

"Man, I just love you, you know that?" Is it bad I'm enjoying this? I can even feel a smile coming onto my face, but it's not one of happiness. It almost feels evil, but right at the same time. I guess we never really got along despite trying to.

"I could say the same about you."

"Wow, some real sarcasm! I knew you had it in you!" I'm about to laugh while she's about to blow a fuse. This is too good!

"Did you ever really care?"

I can't hold back, I start laughing. "Haha, you're just like always, aren't you? Making accusations and questioning everything just over a little comment. You never really do change."

"Is this all just a joke to you?" Man, she's pissed. I love it.

"I mean, sorta is now that I think about it."

"You never really care or love anyone. I should've known."

"And you're being manipulative as always. I always tried to think we got along in the end. I was just telling myself white lies. You're the one that never cared, bitch." Checkmate.

Now I've done it, she's yelling. "Do you think this is a JOKE?! You haven't said my name ONCE this whole conversation. Shows how much you care!"

"What can I say? Just thinking of your name gives me a salty taste."

"Oh really? Maybe you're just used to the sweet life."

"The SWEET life?!" Now I'm pissed. My life isn't a cakewalk. Even if it was, I can't help being depressed. "I WISH, ok?! Is that what you want to hear, MCKAYLA?! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!" Dammit, I made her smirk over the phone. I can feel it as if we weren't thousands of miles apart. Fucking bitch. You win.
