unknown calling...

"let me guess, it's you?"

there was no answer except for some warbled yelling in the distance.

"so... green app... text?"

for some reason, nova got the feeling that this strange man had been living under a rock for most of his life.

"can you hear me?"

nova spoke a little louder. maybe he was holding the phone within hearing distance this time.

"hello?"

"you heard me!"

"your voice sounds familiar. have we spoken before?"

"just a couple days ago."

"you were curious about something, yes?"

"mhm, you've been butt dialing me a lot actually."

"butt dialing? how does one's butt dial?"

nova giggled to herself.

"it's a figure of speech. you say it when someone calls you without actually knowing that they did."

"dean doesn't teach me these things."

the man sounded troubled.

"is dean your friend?"

"more of an acquaintance really."

"that's nice."

"i don't believe i caught your name?"

"it's nova."

"like a supernova?"

nova smiled.

"you could say that. i don't believe i caught yours either-"

there was a loud crash in the background, causing nova to flinch.

"i apologize. the kitchen has been compromised. maybe my butt will dial you again soon. goodbye, supernova."

the next sound she heard was the buzz of the dial tone. nova sighed. surely next time she would get his name.
