Melody

I looked away from the broken mirror after a while and then dragged on an oversized grey turtleneck and jeans. I finally took out my phone for the first time since yesterday and felt an instant migraine as I saw the amount of missed calls, text messages, and notifications I had.

Hey Mel, I'm sorry I told.

I was just worried about you.

Please call me back.

Emma Murphy; 4:30pm

Hey Mellie. I hope you're not mad at me.

Call me when you can.

Carson White; 5:43pm

Hey Mellie, please don't be mad at me.

Emma and I didn't plan anything...

She just texted me after she told Ms. Foster.

Please call me.

Carson White; 6:14pm

Mel, I hope we're okay.

I want to talk.

Please call me!

Emma Murphy; 6:33pm

Hey girl!

Just wanted to see how you were doing!

Alani Reynolds; 6:52pm

Mellie, are you sleeping?

Carson White; 7:08pm

If you want space, that's cool...

But if you need to talk, I'm here.

Alani Reynolds; 6:52pm

Hey, Mel! Emma is freaking out.

Are you cool?

Harvey Fuller; 7:22pm

Mellie, I'm a little worried.

Please call me.

Carson White; 7:31pm

Hope everything's okay...

Emma Murphy; 7:32pm

Hey friend! Just thought I'd send you a meme!

Noah Phillips; 8:13pm

Melody! Hope all is well.

I have a casting for you tomorrow morning.

Pick you up before school.

Gavin LeBlanc; 8:45pm

I sighed, feeling the stress rise in my chest. I took a deep breath and decided to text Gavin back first.

Sounds good.
