Deciding that standing around and watching his mirror-image do emberassing things was too much, Lulu-as-Nina pulled out the cel phone he'd swapped with Nina (pink, it was...ew.).
He ducked into an unused classroom, spent a minute copying down all the numbers there. Then he dialed Johnny's number...
Johnny had been making something for he and May to eat. Some soup, very simple to make but oh so tasty when the right seasonings were added. He was getting rather good at this cooking thing.
That's when the cellphone rang. He walked to the small stand it rested on, and picked it up. As he walked back into their tiny kitchen area he answered it.
"Nina? Is that you?... Uh, no I'm not... I've been taking care of May. Are you okay?" Johnny was a little concerned. Nina never took the time to call him from school before.
"Oh?...It's not all that important, I just haven't seen you for a while Johnny. Well, i'll leave you alone if you're taking care of May." And then, just barely audible under "her" breath, a tiny whisper. "...I love you." Click.
Johnny stared at the phone in a long moment of silence. He was thoroughly confused. It wasn't like Nina to phone him out of the blue at school, just to make a statement like that.
Something seemed off. He'd have to remind himself to ask her in person come Monday.
