Last night, Paul wanted to talk on the phone, but I was watching the newest episode of Downton Abbey, my eyes glued to the screen. I told him so, and he was a bit annoyed.
Then, he texted, "Just realized I can't call anyway, i have a chem test tomorrow"
And that was good for me, because I could watch Downton Abbey in peace...but I also kind of wanted to talk to him. I imagined the episode would only be an hour, so I told him to call at nine. He said he couldn't, he had to study for chemistry. We said our goodbyes, and I kept watching.
Soon I realized that this episode of Downton was two hours long, and thought it good that Paul was studying, because if he called at nine, I would have to tell him I couldn't talk, which would deeply annoy him.
And then, at nine o'clock, my phone started vibrating. I looked down, and I had an incoming call from Paul.
Frowning, I pressed "decline", wondering why he was calling. He called another time, and then another.
Then he texted, "Um".
I told him he should be studying for chem, and he ignored that. "Answer," he texted.
"But this episode of Downton is two hours long," I replied, trying to pay attention to what was going on between two of the male characters.
"Ugh, I wish there was a thing called Internet where you can watch your TV shows LATER" he texted back.
"I didn't think you were actually going to call at nine," I confessed.
"Me either
But I looked at my notes"
"You really should be studying," I scolded gently, keeping my ears open for what one of the ladies on the TV was saying.
"I was only gonna call for fifteen minutes" he insisted.
"Well I'm sorry, but I'm watching Downton" I said stubbornly.
"Whatever I guess I'll study more", Paul replied.
"Are you upset?"
I wondered if I'd upset him, and it made me feel bad.
"Nah ima go study".
"Ok see ya".
I started feeling really bad, wondering if he was upset...
I decided I'd find out the next day.
