Shepard

Where are you?

You’re late.

It takes a minute or two for her to get back to me.

A minute or two that seem like a day.

Such a long day that I’m ready, so fucking ready, to call her and fucking demand to know where she is, blowing my cover. Thankfully, the text comes at the last second, though. Or rather a flurry of texts.

Isadora

OMG! I’m so sorry!!!😮😮

I totally forgot!!😦😦😦

Well, I didn’t forget. Time just ran away from me.

I let out a sharp breath.

Shepard

Are you going to stop it from running away then?

Another minute passes that seems like a very long day.

Longer than before and I’m not amused.

Isadora

Okay, don’t be mad but I can’t call you right now.🫣🙈

I sit up straight in the bed, my chest heaving with agitated breaths.

Shepard

Why not?

Isadora

Because I’m not at home.

Shepard

Where the fuck are you?

Isadora

You’re getting mad.

Shepard

Answer me.

It’s a point in her favor that she doesn’t make me wait like before and answers immediately.

Isadora

I’m on my way to go see this guy.

But I don’t think earning points with me is going to help her right now.

Not after her reply.

Shepard

Explain.

Isadora

God, you’re scary. I never knew how scary you could be.

I’m this close to saying fuck it and giving her a call when her next text flies in.

Isadora

Okay, fine. So I have this huge assignment due day after tomorrow and I’m sort of struggling with it.

Shepard

What assignment?

Isadora

History assignment. It counts toward half of my grade.

Shepard

Struggling how?

Isadora

Struggling as in, I haven’t really finished it.

Shepard

How far along are you?

Isadora

On the first paragraph…?

I stare at the screen for a few seconds.

Then, pinching the bridge of my nose, I type:

Shepard

Are you saying that you haven’t even started the assignment that’s going to count toward half of your grade?

Isadora

I did start it! I wrote a whole paragraph!

Well, half of it.

I breathe out a sharp sigh.

Shepard

How many lines?

Isadora

Three.

And a half.

Another sharp sigh.

Shepard

What does this guy have to do with your assignment?

Isadora

Okay, so he’s a genius, see. He sits in the front row, always has his hand up during class. He tutors people. He was supposed to go to Harvard.

Shepard

So what’s he doing at a fucking community college?

Isadora

Hey, don’t knock community college! 😠

Shepard

Fine. What’s he doing at an establishment as fine as Bardstown Community College?

Isadora

🙄

He got kicked out of Harvard in his first semester, okay? But that doesn’t mean he is any less of a genius. So I want him to help me with the assignment. I looked all day for him but no one knew where he was. Until I got a text from one of my friends that he’s at this party. So I’m going there to find him.

Shepard

Why did he get kicked out?

Isadora

That’s not important.

Shepard

Why.

Isadora

God!!!😖🤬

For dealing weed on campus.

Again, I stare down at the screen for a few seconds. Then, with as much patience as I can muster in this situation, I type out my reply.

Shepard

So you’re going to a party in the middle of the night to look for a drug dealer so he can help you with your history assignment.

Isadora

He’s not a drug dealer! He just sold some weed. It’s not a big deal.

I know you’re an athlete and all that and you have high standards but I’ve done weed. Weed’s harmless, I promise.

Not to mention, legal.

Shepard

You still can’t deal it without a proper license.

Isadora

So he made a mistake, so what. All I need him to do is help me with my history paper, for which time’s running out.

Shepard

And why’s that?

Isadora

Why’s what?

Shepard

Why’s your time running out? What were you doing before? If it’s half your grade, I’d assume you’d pay more attention.

Isadora

You know what, Shepard, these days I don’t even recognize you anymore. You sound like an eighty-year-old stuck-up professor. 😒😒😒

My fingers flex around the phone.

In agitation. In anger.

Every time she says his name, I want to command her to say mine. I want to demand that she keeps saying it. So she only knows the taste of me on her tongue.

Soon, though.

Four weeks.

In four fucking weeks, I’ll teach her my name in such a way that she’ll never forget.

Shepard

Why didn’t you do your homework before?

Isadora

Because I was busy with rehearsals.

My brows bunch up. That’s news to me.

We’ve been talking for two weeks now and she hasn’t mentioned any rehearsals to me. As my twin brother or myself.

Shepard

What rehearsal?

Isadora

So omg get this!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 My department finally has enough funding to put on a show. We’re doing this amazing play in a few weeks and I have the lead role! Can you believe that?! My debut!! Finally!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🎉🎉

But it’s been crazy busy. We’re doing everything on our own. Costumes, set, music. It’s been exhausting!!! And I got busy with practice every day that I completely forgot about this stupid assignment and now I’m in this bind and only Jordan can help me. So I REALLY have to go find him, okay?

She is in a bind; I can see that.
