A/N:
southern_heaven wanted epistolary fic between the ASBO-5.
d_sieya wrote one called "
Edit" and this is my take on the same prompt. I blanked out all the letters because I am constitutionally incapable of saying the f word. I AM A CHILD, COME AT ME BRO. No, but really, I can't say the f word, even in fic. I apologize if it is too much cognitive dissonance or something for you. Title is from Blondie's song "Call Me" because I get all my titles from songs.

"Alright? That's all the little twit sent me was "Alright?" Alisha tossed her down on the duvet of her bed. So she's swiped his phone out of his coveralls and added her number, she hadn't expected him to even really notice. Nathan'd had done the same thing and regularly sent pictures of his shit to all of them.

And she knew better than to download the picture attached after the first time. Then Kelly, God only knew what went through that girl's mind, f---ing chav, when she replied all with,

Except Simon. He never seemed to be part of their ongoing shit-talking. It was so strange to see his name, and only his name, at the top of the message and a thrill racing up her spine that it was her Simon, the one that only she knew.
Her phone buzzed again, laying against her thigh, and she picked it up, expecting her daily dose of Nathan's bullshit, but instead it said,
to: alisha
from: simon

It was awkward and not exactly a conversation starter but it was Simon and it worked.

She could picture it, that smile on his face. She felt her own cheeks heat up as she imagined it and she bit her lip as she texted back.

She barely got the text open before he sent another one.

She held the phone open, the light illuminating her face in the dark of her bedroom, and rubbed her thumb over his name.

And attached was a picture of him giving them all the two-fingered salute. Alisha shut her phone off for the night with a smile.
