Kennedy

Closer to about eleven, I touch up the drawings of me and my friends as Undertale characters. Since it's Friday, I can stay up late.

Anyway, as I draw, I notice that Annaka hasn't called me all night.

We usually call on weekends or nights we can stay up late, because Annaka like watching me play Undertale. But tonight, I received no calls from her.

She might've already went to bed, but I'm sure she would call me before she went to bed. I put my pencil down and check my phone one more time to see if she called. Nothing.

I exhale a breath and put my phone back down. Maybe she was busy or something. We do have that big project coming up and I know she's serious in getting work done, i reason. I shrug it off and walk downstairs for a quick snack to help fuel me for drawing.

I grab an apple and head back up to my room. As soon as I get back in, my phone buzzes. I rush to it and pick up the phone.

Instead of Annaka's face appearing on the screen, it's a split screen with Juliana, Nya, and Alyssa.

"Hi!" Alyssa exclaims. "We were wondering if you wanted to do a roleplay with us."

"We decided on an Undertale one," Juliana adds in.

"But we would also need Annaka. Think you can get a hold of her?" Nya asks. "We've been trying to, but she's not picking up."

I shake my head. "She won't pick up to me either." I sit down on my bed. "I'm kinda starting to get worried. I haven't heard from her all night."

Juliana shakes her head. "Us either. But I'm sure she'll pick up."

"Maybe try texting her," Alyssa suggests.

I nod in agreement. "On it." I go on to messages and tap on Annaka.

I text her:

Hey Annie. You haven't answered all night and I'm just texting to ask if everything's ok. And if you want to do and Undertale roleplay with me, Juli, Nya, and Alyssa. Please text back if you receive this.

I send the text and wait a few minutes. Still unread. I sigh and go back on the call.

"So?" Nya asks.

"No answer and unread. I'm getting really worried, guys. What if something bad happened to her?" I say, worriedly.

"Let's each try texting her," Juliana suggests. "Maybe she only wants to talk to one of us."

Each of us nod in agreement and take turns texting her, yet none receive fortunate results.

I sigh. Dead end.

"Maybe we can just start the roleplay without her," Alyssa throws in.

"That's what you're thinking about right now?" I ask.

"Hey! I'm trying to get our minds off of it, Kennedy," Alyssa says.

We all nod and start the roleplay.

But my mind is anywhere but the roleplay.

.

When we pause the roleplay for the night, we didn't get very far. But we pause for the night anyways and say our goodbye's, then end the call.

As soon as the call is ended, I flop onto my bed and sigh. We still hadn't heard a thing from Annaka, and I am this close to going over to her house, even though it's midnight.

I yawn and realize that I should get some sleep. Everyone else is asleep so I turn off my lights and hop into bed. I plug my earbuds in my phone and listen to music to help me fall asleep.

I close my eyes, even though my mind is far, far, from sleep.
