Caroline was hanging in the Grill when her phone rang. She let out a deep sigh when she noticed it was her ex-boyfriend Matt. “Hey, Matt” she said. “Caroline, hi, I’m glad I can finally reach you” Matt replied. “What do you mean?” Caroline asked avoiding. It had been two days since she last spoke to him and she had very consciously ‘missed’ his calls. “Is something wrong? Are you avoiding me? Because if you do I would understand. I mean, I did break up with you” Matt softly said. “I’m not avoiding you, okay? I’m just hooked into something, I can’t explain it” Caroline sinabi hesitating. “Can’t you try? During lunch, maybe? I’d like to talk to you…about us.” Matt suggested. “There’s no us, Matt. Like you said, you broke up…But girls have to eat, so maybe lunch might be not so bad. Can I call you back on that?” Caroline asked. “Promise you will” Matt said. “Okay, I promise” Caroline sinabi and she ended the conversation.
“Boyfriend issues, huh?” the girl susunod to her at the bar said. Caroline turned around to view the clearly underage girl drinking beer. And it wasn’t the first one. “You know it’s rude to eavesdrop a conversation you’re not part of” The girl drank from her beer. “I wasn’t eavesdropping. You really need to lower your voice a bit” “You shouldn’t be drinking. You’re a minor” Caroline sinabi cold. The girl laughed. “Okay, yeah, I’m a minor, but that doesn’t make you my legal guardian, you know. And don’t take your problems with Matt out on me” Caroline’s mouth dropped open from unbelief. “I’m not taking anything out on anyone. God, why am I even talking to you?” she muttered, madami to herself than the girl. She walked away, the girl watching her leave.
