April fool


Sara?!  What’s up?


Please come down to the music store on 6th.  


Do you know what time it is?  


No. 


It’s 5:37 am!  


COME GET ME RIGHT NOW.  


Okay… I’m walking out the door.  


HURRY! 


Be there in 10. Go sit in the coffeehouse on Bourbon Street?


No.  I…. can’t.  He threw my clothes in the trash. 


He… WHAT?  Never mind. Take deep breaths.  


He called me names, abandoned me. 


Geesh.  During the lesson?  I’m almost there. 


No… after… we… um… mmmm.


Right.  Can you stop seeing him?


Maybe.
