Lily looked at her phone; she had ten miss calls and fifteen texts from her friend Severus all within the space of twenty minutes. Really, she thought to herself if I was available to get back to you I would, no need to call me and text me. She gradually opened the text messages.

Hey Lils, where you at?

Lils, what's going on?

You ok Lils?

Why won't you text me back?

Please Lils call me

Lillyy why won't you pick up the phone?

Lily, Lily, Lily oh why won't you call me?

She stopped reading and pressed the call button at the top of her phone.

"The person you are calling is currently unavailable please try again shortly or leave a message after the tone, BEEEP," the automated message said immediately.

"Really," she hissed, "I call you back at the first opportunity and your phone is unavailable."

Sev, she typed into the message box, I was at work and was unable to answer my phone, what is it you want?

She pressed send and then started to eat her lunch and after a moment, her phone vibrated on the table.

Soz Lils, she read, I forgot you were at work today.

Sighing she responded, Still no need to text me like a million times, it's really annoying.

I'm sorry, he responded almost immediately.

As she went to respond her phone rang.

"Hey Sev," she greeted as she answered the phone.

"Lils," he spoke, "I know you said you were busy tonight but let's do something."

"I don't have to hang out with you every night Sev," she responded, "You're not my boyfriend"

"Come on Lils," he begged, "What you doing that is so important that you cannot spend some time with little old me."

"Look Sev, I have plans with the girls tonight," she replied, "Seriously why are you such a creep these days?"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Sev, I need space from you," she stated, "Sometimes I feel like you suffocate me, the constant ringing and texting, it is really annoying"

"Sorry Lils," he replied, "I still don't understand why you would rather hand out with the girls than me, its Halloween we spend it together."

"We are not kids anymore," she hissed, "I don't need to spend every Halloween with you."

"What you going to do get dressed up and go partying?" he said angrily, "Stupid Halloween Traditions!"

"Halloween is a stupid tradition?" she sneered, "You only say that because my plans with the girls don't include you."

"Go out, get drunk and end up shagging a stranger," he hissed at her, "see if I care."

"Fuck off Sev," she shouted and put the phone down.

Sighing she finished her lunch and headed back to her desk. Worst Halloween ever.
