146 Chapter 146

My friends were still sleeping, and so were my parents, so I decided to take my phone and go hang out in the kitchen, waiting for my sister to call. Normally, it would be pancake day, but I wasn't sure if my dad would go to all that trouble with my friends here. Sometimes he did; sometimes he didn't. Either way, it didn't stop me from having a bowl of Cheerios while I stared at my phone.

When my phone finally did ring, I answered it on the first ring. "Cadence?" I hoped I sounded happy to hear from her and not like someone who has been staring at her phone forever.

"Hey, Cass. You sound wide awake. How's it going?" my sister asked, and I thought I heard the sound of springs groaning like she was still in bed.
