Hey Me, It's You: Part 2

The man came back out with the ugliest phone I had ever seen.
“It’s called the, well, it doesn’t have a name.” said the man. It was so ugly. A greenish color, I hated green. It did have a full keyboard, though. But the letters and numbers were all spread out. In fact, they weren’t numbers or even letters. Just symbols. Hieroglyphics’s? Dewy Decimal System? What was it? The screen was so small and just the phone itself was messed up.
“Thanks anyway,”.
“Wait!” called the man grabbing my hand. “This phone is very special. I know it seems like nothing now, but it will help you in the near future. This phone cannot be returned, though. You won’t want to return it. It will be your best friend. Buy it, please. You’ll be the first, the one and only to have bought this phone!” Being the first was always what I wanted. The first female president. The first one to do anything, really. And to be the first one to buy this phone? Awesome!
“I’ll take it!”
“Good…..”.
