THE CALL
COUNTDOWN: 15 DAYS
Kyle stands in his kitchen, staring at a telephone. After a few nervous seconds, he sighs and picks it up. He dials a number. It rings a few times, then someone picks up.
Stan: Hello?
Kyle (away from the receiver): Aw, shit.
Stan: Kyle? Is that you?
Kyle: Oh, yeah. Hey, Stan. …What's up?
Stan: Nothing.
There's an awkward pause.
Stan: Hello? What the hell did you call about, Kyle?
Kyle: Uh, did you think I could, uh…
Stan (calling away from the phone): Charlie! It's for you! [To Kyle] There, are you happy? I did half the work for you.
Charlie walks up to Stan, who hands her the phone.
Stan (walking away): It's Kyle. He's acting like a total jackass though, so watch out.
Charlie looks at Stan in confusion as he walks away, then she puts the phone up to her ear.
Charlie: …Hello?
Kyle: Oh. Uh, hi.
Charlie: Is this Kyle?
Kyle: Yeah.
There's a moment of silence.
Charlie: Well, what is it?
Kyle: Um… [He pauses, then puts his hand on his forehead.] Do you want to come over?
Charlie: Now?
Kyle: Uh, I guess, yeah. I mean, if you aren't busy or anything.
Charlie: No, that's okay. Do you want Stan to come too?
Kyle: Uh… I think Stan said he was busy with something.
Charlie: Oh, okay then. Seeya soon.
Kyle hangs up, looking a little freaked out.
Kyle: Ah, fuck!
