I was in Spanish Class today when my phone started vibrating. I looked at my phone and my sister was calling me. I sighed and clicked the button to ignore the call. I couldn't talk to her in class. I sent her a quick text, "In class." She responded, "One of my coworker's is selling books, what authors do you like?" In any other circumstance, I would have called her back immediately and gave her my whole list. I love books. I'm nerdy like that. But, it just so happens, I had a test to take in a few minutes. "Got a test. Txt you later," I sent her before putting my phone away.
Once I got out of class, I texted her back. She said she was sorry. She didn't know I had a test. I laughed, neither did I.
Two hours later, I was in my writing class. The computer room had been hot and sticky, so my teacher let us go outside to have class. We were sitting in the pavilion talking about a student's piece when my phone vibrated again. I looked at the phone. My sister had texted me. I rolled my eyes thinking you have really shitty timing. A few moments later, my phone vibrated again. I looked at the text from my mom. "Pa has broken back going to Frick," it said. What!
Pa, meant Pap. My mom isn't a very good texter. The problem remains that my grandfather was in the hospital with a broken spine and I was sitting outside enjoying the weather with a bunch of fellow writers talking about commas and voice.
I couldn't just leave class though, so I sat through class waiting for it to end. Luckily it ended early. I called my mom, she didn't pick up. Called my sister, she didn't know anything. My dad finally got home, and he said my pap broke a vertebrae. I shook my head. It's never a dull moment in this Boring household. Anyway, I'm off to see him at the hospital in about an hour.
STAY SAFE!
