The Call (short Story)

The first call


It was a normal sunny day. Everyone was laughing and being real friendly.   

It was my moving away party at work. My desk was cleared, the only thing on it was the cake Marge baked. I said goodbye to everyone. And they all kept eating cake and smiling. I put all my things in my trunk. I then got into my front seat, when I got a call. 


It was my best friend Kelly. The party goer, and of course, the wild one. I thought she was just calling to say one last goodbye. I answered the phone and she spoke, "hello, how are you doing?" It was not what she normally said but I went with it. 

"Hey, what's up?" I said. 

No reply...

I said it again, "hey, what's up, you there?"

She finally spoke, "yah, sorry. Must have been spacing off." 


She didn't sound like herself. It was really wierd.


"So, why are you calling?" I said starting my car.

No reply...

"Hey are you felling alright?"

"Oh yah, sorry." She said again.

"Well... I best be going..." I said awkwardly. 

No reply... 

"Bye..." I then hung up and drove away.

The second call

 

I got all my things into the moving van with some help of some friends. We all went inside to to cool off and say our goodbyes. I said goodbye to Charlie, Marisa, Taylor, and Emily. They were all happy for me, finally piecing my life together. 


Everyone left and I got in the back of the moving truck to make sure everything was secure. When I looked around I saw this shadow for a spilt second. I got chills, on a very hot day... I thought it must be Kelly pranking me. After all, that's what she likes to do on her free time. 

"Haha Kelly, very funny." 

No one said anything.

"Kelly, you can come out, I know your there."

Nothing. Just silence. 


I closed the truck and locked it so nothing could fall out. I got in my truck, when I got a call from Kelly. 

"Kelly, your not funny."

 

"What are you talking about?" She said.


"Stop playing dumb,I know your pranking me." I said. "First the call and now the figure in my truck, your not fouling me."


"What are you talking about Kay... I haven't had my phone today, it was getting fixed..."
