That night, like any other night, Ali was texting Sophia.
She was very worried about 'the talk' that Ali would be having with his parents and she waited anxiously for their usual chat.
'Hey' - Ali
'Hi' - Sophia
'What 'cha doing?' - Ali
'Waiting for you' - Sophia
Ali gripped his phone and was grinning away like some idiot.
'Well, I'm here now' - Ali
'I can see that. Did you manage to talk to them yet?' - Sophia
'Yes' - Ali
Sophia waited for a while but Ali didn't say anything after that. She couldn't even see the usual 'Ali is typing...' at the top of the chat.
Sophia frowned.
'That bad, huh?' - Sophia.
'No no' - Ali
'Then?' - Sophia
Sophia waited again and this time, she could see the chat text stating 'Ali is typing....'
She waited.
And waited.
Finally, in exasperation, she texted, 'Nevermind. Bye'.
Ali panicked.
