It had been 6 months since Johnny Taylor had moved out of the Dumping Ground. Everyone would have thought that it would be Tee who would have missed him the most, or Rick, or even Tyler. But no, it was Carmen.

Every morning she would wake up and immediately check her phone, and then at lunch time, in the afternoon, dinner time, and at night. And most of the time there was no new texts from him, until Saturday morning where she had a missed call from him.

Seeing it, she quickly pressed on his contact and clicked the call button. Putting the phone up to her ear, she nibbled on her thumbnail from nervousness, until he answered the call.

"Hello?" Johnny asked, sounded like he was doing something and not really concentrating on the call.

"Johnny? It's Carmen." Carmen replied, getting up to look in the mirror and ruffling her hair slightly, then tapping her foot on the ground.

"Oh, hey!" He replied, dropping the book he was carrying and then blushing slightly, waiting for her to reply to him, which felt like a lifetime.

"I was hoping you'd call. I miss you..." She trailed off before sighing softly, hoping he wouldn't hear her.

Johnny heard, but pretended he hadn't.

"I miss you, too. Do you want to come over, or something?" He asked, hoping she'd say yes and go over to his house to see him.

"Sure. I'll be right over." She replied.
