“Hi Jen!” Answered Suzy after a few rings.
“What’s up? Aren't you in class?”
“No, it’s lunch time” Jen replied.
“Oh, I didn’t realize it was already noon... I haven’t done much besides lay in bed all day...” Suzy replied.
Her voice was still a little gruff, but sounding much better than it had on their last call.
“Are you feeling better?” Jen asked.
“A lot... It’s mostly just drainage now. The things I’m coughing up are nasty.” Suzy laughed.
“That’s gross!” Jen replied.
“Ha ha, sorry...” Suzy laughed.
They continued to chat for the next hour.
Jen couldn't help but notice that Suzy sounded a little apprehensive...
Eventually the conversation wrapped up and Jen said, “Hey, it was good to chat with you and I’m glad you’re feeling better... Don’t forget I really want to see you on Sunday. It’s super important.”
“Sure, I’ll see you later!” Suzy replied.
Just as Jen pulled the phone away from her ear to hang up she heard Suzy say something else but didn't quite make it out.
“Sorry, did you say something?” She asked, pulling the phone back.
“Yea...There’s...There’s something I've been meaning to say...I just...I really...”
There was a pause...
“...No...Never mind...I’ll see you on Sunday Jen.”
Suzy quickly hung up after that.
“That was odd,” Jen thought. “Does she know about my curse?”
“What else could it have been? Maybe she realized how long we’d been talking and thought I was skipping a class?”
Jen felt like something was off but tried to forget about it...
Her sister would be home from school in only a couple hours and she decided that it was as good of time as any to put some pants on.
She pulled on the sweatpants from earlier since they were the most comfortable, but didn't bother with panties. It’s not like she had anywhere to go...
