"Tell me when to press it..."

"Press it."

"Kay tell me when."

"Now."

"Now what?"

"Luke if you don't press that call button in five seconds I will do it for you."

"But..."

"Five... Four... Three... Two... O-"

"Fine I'll do it!"

"Thank you."

"Okay tell me when."

"Luke!"

"Fine."

Arden and I had been arguing like this for the past ten minutes. I was too nervous to call Mikey so each time she threatened to press the call button for me.

I closed my eyes and shakily moved my hand towards the button.

"Luke you're pressing a button you're not about to stroke a shark.."

"What?"

"I don't know, I was trying to prove how stupid you were being."

"You do it then! It's a lot harder than it looks!"

"Fine I'll do it!" As she said that, she hit the button.

"Arden!"

"You told me to do it!"

"I didn't mean it!"

"Luke it's bang on six, he's probably sitting there waiting."

Just as he said that, the screen that displayed Arden and I moved into the upper left corner. We moved our eyes down the screen and was met with a plain blank screen.

Arden quickly hit the mute button in case there was someone on the other end.

"I'm sorry Luke."

"It's fine I expected it."

A few moments later, the blank screen began to move. We sat up in our seats to take a closer look.

A few moments later, it stopped moving again. We both sighed and slouched back in our seats.

About a minute later, we saw it moving again but didn't pay any attention to it.

Until, the blank screen was replaced with two boys. One had slightly wavy dirty blonde hair with a bandana pushing it back. The other had slightly tanned skin compared to the other with dark brown hair. Neither of them were Michael though.

Arden sat up and took us off of mute.

"Um which ones Michael?" She asked slowly.

They turned to look at each other and I'm guessing they muted themselves as their lips were moving but we couldn't hear anything. I reached over and put us on mute as well.

"Arden clearly none of them are Michael." I whispered even though we were muted.

"You don't know that." She replied in the same voice. "It could be like Catfish"

She was referring to the program Arden and I had become obsessed with over the summer.

"You don't think... Do you?"

"There could be a possibility."

I turned back towards the screen and took us off of mute. I'm guessing they did as well as the dirty blonde haired one spoke up.

"Erm I'm Michael."

"Oh well I'm Luke... Obviously."

"Um I'm Calum by the way." The tanned one said now known as Calum. "I'm his best friend."

"Well in that case I'm Arden." She said whilst glaring at the two boys. "Luke's best friend."

In the background I could hear another persons voice, very faint but it was still there.

"Um bye Luke we have to go." Michael quickly said and hung up before I could even say bye.

"What was that?" I asked Arden.

"Honestly Luke I don't know, we'll figure it out though." She sighed.
