Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
9:01 AM
As Basil sat in his living room reading "The Jungle Book", specifically the first short story "Mowgli's Brothers", he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing. Looking away from his book, Basil looked to his phone laying upon the coffee table.
It was an unknown number. That was suspicious.
Picking up the phone, Basil answered it and said: "Uh, hello?"
"Hey, Basil! You are never going to guess what happened at school!"
Basil furled his brow. He did not recognize the voice. It was a guy's voice, teenaged like himself and high-pitched, that was the extent of his knowledge and how was he supposed to tell who it was just from their voice? It was probably someone he had never met.
The first thing that Basil inquired was: "Who is this?"
"Blompkins was forcing us to make clogs and Lee Ping saved us!"
Basil just sat there, an annoyed expression upon his countenance. Whoever this guy was, he hadn't told Basil who he was. Still… Who would have guessed that Blompkins was… Alright, there was probably some people who would have seen such a thing coming a mile away!
"Great, thanks. Now who are you and how do you have my number?" How did this guy have his number? How did anyone at A. Nigma have anyone's cell phone number? He did not recall putting his cell number in the school news, so what was going on here?
"Oh, well, you see…" It was at that point that whoever the caller was hung up. Basil was left staring into space with that same annoyed expression upon his countenance. Just when he thought he was going to get an answer.
