You had recently come down with a cold. You had stayed home from school for a few days now and hadn’t gotten better. Your mom had gone to work and told you to sleep in so hopefully you would wake up better. You woke up feeling slightly better but still felt sick. You were still in bed and dialled your moms number. “Hey mom… I’m still feeling sick… could you get me some medicine or something?” you mumble, still half asleep. Your mom was silent for a moment. “Sorry what?” “Mom come on… i’m serious” you say, rubbing your eyes. “who is this?” “Your daughter?” you say confused. “…I'm not…who are you…?” You suddenly pause. And then you realise that the voice is not your mom. it's a boy.
