Room 304, Thursday night

[chasingangela]

Angela was playing Tetris on her new-old phone when her old-new phone rang. She picked it up, noticing her parents' number on the caller ID.

"Hello?" she said, figuring her mom was scheduling stuff for the weekend. Graduation weekend. That was weird

Parker was wandering. And avoiding phone messages. So seeing Angela's door open, she knocked on the frame. "Hey, Angela."

Angela glanced up. "Hey," she greeted, gesturing for Parker to come in. "Ready to be all graduated?"

[mparkerceo]

"And how." Parker smiled and laced her fingers together, stretching out her arms. "Two weeks. Then I take a flight to Moscow. I'm going to miss this place, but any time I think of staying... I end up shuddering. You ready?"

[chasingangela]

"I get two weeks too," Angela said. She flexed her fingers thoughtfully. "It's not so much a shudder, but ... I don't know. I'll miss people, but it somehow feels like time, you know?"

There's a knock on the door and a head peers in. "Hey. How's it going?"

[chasingangela]

"Good," Angela said with a gentle smile.

She reached under the bed for Bridge's box. "I have a present for you."

[oatmanspatient]

"Oh?" Marty said with a grin. "Did I miss a special occasion? Or is it just because I'm awesome as a boyfriend?"

[chasingangela]

"Call it a graduation gift," Angela offered, finding the box and passing the phone over. "Bridge Carson made it," she explained.
