I didn't eat. I didn't move. I just sat. And here I am, still sitting. First of all, I didn't want to eat her food. She had made tuna salad. I hate tuna salad. I always have. When my mother made a tuna steak for lunch one time, I had to lean my head all the way out the window to get rid of my stomach ache.
I look at my window, and see the moon in full view. It has to be at least midnight, maybe later.
My phone buzzes next to me and I pick it up, only to see that it's Clara.
I hesitate and then flip the phone open.
"Clara?"
"Mon ami, Comment je vous ai manque. My friend, how I've missed you." I can hear the smile on her face, though I don't know why she is smiling.
"Pas ce soir Francais. No French tonight."
"Alright." She's still smiling, I can tell.
"So," I start, but she butts in.
"Are you not excited that he is coming there!" I hear her clapping faintly.
"I guess." I look at the door just to check if anyone is listening.
"Why do you sound sad?" I know her smile dropped with the tone in her voice. I've seen it before.
"I'm not sad...Listen Clara, I must go, it is late here."
"Ah, I forgot. Bon nuit, mon cher ami!" I then hear her hang up.
I close my phone and set it back down on the bed side table.
I sit for a moment, and then flip of the lamp.
