"Rob!" a voice hisses, and you frown suspiciously at the phone.
"Hello?" you answer.
"Oh thank God it's you."
"Who is this?"
"It's Sue!" the masculine voice hisses.
"Sue doesn't sound like that," you tell the voice and hang up.
Weirdo prank caller, you think, and start walking away, only for the phone to ring again.
"Hello?" you answer.
"It's Sue, dammit! Don't hang up, Rob!"
"Huh?" the penny drops, and a flat "oh" escapes you.
God, how embarrassing, you didn't even recognize your own voice.
"Uh, Sue?"
"Yes, yes it's Sue. And you're Rob. Except I'm not in the Sue-body, now am I?" she asks impatiently.
"Uh, no?" you ask uncertainly. After all, how are you supposed to know what body she's in. This could even be a prank call from some friend of... well, someone.
"No you idiot, I'm at your friend, uh, Jack's!"
"Jacob," you correct automatically. Wait a minute. "Shit, I'm supposed to be at the sleep-over!"
"I am! I mean, you are, you idiot! I'm you!"
"No, I'm me."
"You're me!"
"I'm you!"
"Would you shut up and listen?"
Well that was rude, you think, and hang up again just to spite her. The phone rings an instant later, even those sounding pissed off. You let it go for three rings then pick it up just before the answering machine can kick in.
"Yes? Are you going to be nice to me?" you ask sweetly. |
