Ring....riiiiiing.....ring....riiiiiiiing...

Eden waited veeery patiently for the ringing to stop. She heard Professor Moxley's voice and smiled a little. She was so cool and funny and quirky in the best of ways. Before Eden could think of what to say....the beep BEEPED and she.....panicked.

"UM--"

She hung up the phone.

GAH.

GAH.

GAH.

She took a deep breath. Right. She should probably write down what she wanted to say beforehand so that she didn't FREEZE like she just had. So she scribbled a little something down and dialed the number again, waiting, breathlessly, for the phone to finish the ringing and get to Moxley's voicemail.

She was prepared this time.

After the beep, Eden smiled, took a deep breath, and began. "Hi, Professor! This is really cool--it makes me feel more at home--I love it--hope your day is going well! Your class is awesome--bye! Oh--Eden--" and the thing cut her off.

Sigh.

SIGH.

She hoped Moxley would know it was her.
