Serenity texts me about how she has new headphone covers for Nate’s headphones, which I think is ironic as Nate is getting ear surgery. Serenity then sends me a picture. “No way.” I text back. “No {word}ING WAY!” “Yes way,” she texts back. “Your ears…you have earrings! Your parents kept the promise!” The earrings were pink flowers. They weren’t those dangly types though. I don’t know what it’s called because I’m not a girl. “Omg Serenity has earrings! Lucky!” Abby peeks into my phone, which I immediately put down. “Abby! Stop it! I told you not to touch my phone!” “Geez, ever since you got a new phone, you’ve been ruder than when you had that stupid hand-me-down phone.” “You’re just jealous that I have a phone.” Abby storms off as I smile. “Win to Florian.”
