Staring at my cell phone, I have a conflict in my head.

Text him!

No, I text him too much.

But you know you want to!

I don’t even know if he wants to talk to me.

Yes, he does. If he doesn’t, he won’t answer.

What if he is busy or doing homework?

Then he will say so.

What if he is sleeping?

Sleeping! It is only eight o’clock!

But…

No more buts, just text him! You are out of excuses and you want to talk to him. Do what you really want to do and what you really want to do is text him.

I flip open my phone and go to his number. I start to open a text message. I stare at it until the screen goes dark then throw my phone across the room. Now a new problem a rises, what will I say to him?
