"Get the fuck outta my face with that phone before I slap the hell outta you." I put on a fake smile.

She turned her face up. "You know where Tory at?"

"Do you know where he's gonna be after school?"
"Obviously not if I asked—"
"You're his little girlfriend right? If he didn't tell you then he didn't tell me go ask him or don't ask at all. Damn you irritating." I turned around and started walking towards the classroom.
