I didn’t need to ask who it was to know it was Lucy on the other end… Her soft voice sailed peacefully through my ears.
“Hey Lucy… How did you get my number?”
Somehow I knew what she was about to say, but it didn’t really strike me until she said it.
“Kayla, I didn’t know you guys knew each other. We’ve been friends since like 6th grade, but we haven’t talked in while. I saw her yesterday and she started talking about you, so i asked her for your number.”
My mouth hung open. Oh my God…
“Er, can I call you back? In like 30 minutes?”
“Ok, lemme give you my number.”
I wrote down her number and went back to Paul.
“Paul! That was Lucy, and she got my number from Kay.”
“Does she know you guys went out?”
“No…”
“Dude, going out with an ex’s friend is like against the Girl’s Code.”
I knew that already…
“But she doesn’t have to know right?”
“Yea, but you can’t keep that up forever Tom…”
I sighed.
“Aight, I gotta go, take care man.”
Paul hung up, but i held the phone for a long time.
