Anastasia Again!
“Anastasia put down her book and walked toward the kitchen, thumping her hand along the wall.
"Who is it?" she asked her mother, "I don't know. I didn't ask," "Boy or girl?" What a dumb question. Boys never called her.
"Girl." Of course, She took the receiver and stretched the cord so that she could take the phone into the pantry.
"Hello?" "Hi, Anastasia. This is Robert." "Who?" "Robert Giannini." "Oh. I thought it was a girl." Good grief. What an incredibly dumb thing to say. It wasn't Robert Giannini's fault that his voice still sounded like a girl's. Anastasia sat down on the pantry floor and wanted to die on the spot.
"No, it's Robert." Maybe he hadn't noticed the incredibly dumb thing she had said.
"Hi, Robert." "Hi." If only she had paid more attention to the Cosmopolitan article on being a spritely conversationalist. It had had a section about Phone Flirtation. Not that she cared.
Robert wasn't very spritely at conversation either, for pete's sake. Now they had each said hi twic...e, and no one was saying anything.MoreLess
