Hey

Sorry to bother you, Mami. Its me, Anthony. Chrissy's friend, if you dont remember

Actually weve met briefly. Playing call of duty with Chrissy and Scotty?

Or remember Slasher from GTA 5 like three weeks ago?

Should Anthony wait for a respond first? Or might as well just typed away right now? Wouldn't it be too wordy, though? Wouldn't it be too direct, for a (quote-on-quote) stranger?

Would she reply back? Would she even read?

For every second the clock ticked, he grabbed his phone to see if there were any Instagram notifications; only to find some likes and comments, but not a message. It had been a little over an hour and Mami hadn't even read his first messages. Anthony became anxious all of the sudden, without really knowing why.

C'mon, it was just a simple chat for help. No big deal; he tried to convince himself that.

By then he decided to wait for the next day. She, at some point tomorrow, would be logged in to Instagram and read his abrupt messages. Hopefully.

Anthony's heart stopped, sort of. So she replied, the next day. She replied just about three hours ago and she remembered him. That was good, less awkward. And somehow he felt giddy all of the sudden.

Its fine. I hope you have a great day! - That sounded so lame, he thought.

Hey Mami, i kinda need your help at the moment

This time, she instantly replied, which Anthony didn't prepare for.

Wait, what time is it there? Am I bothering you?

Alright.

I heard from Marcel that you were doing some artwork for his girlfriend, Simone. Is that right?

So I was wondering if you could do one for me...

Yes. Could you?

Well, that was just... shit

What do you mean?

Ive seen your work on tumblr. I think theyre all great. Besides what i have in mind is more simpler than any of what youve made

Actually i wasnt thinking of an illustration or drawing and painting like those

I was talking about a thumbnail

You know like a Youtube thumbnail

Yeah. I kinda need help with my thumbnail. I havent been able to make one by myself.

No i dont actually - not anymore.

So what do you think Mami?

Mami read. Mami definitely read that last chat but for some reason she just stopped replying. Anthony anxiously waited her, for any sign of her presence. Well, she could be doing something that needed to put down her phone for a little while. It was night at her time and she was at home anyway, perhaps preparing dinner, or washing dishes.

Or she read the message and decided that she didn't want to do it, already thinking that he just wasted her time. So she ignored him instead.

Or her phone died and she was looking for outlet to charge.

Or... she died - no, that was way to much! What the fuck are you thinking Anthony!

- it said on the chat screen.

Well her reasoning made sense in a way.

You know what its fine. I understand completely

I mean, I do youtube and go work at the same time, and i dunno where to put my mind sometimes.

Lots of things i have to deal with, which isnt easy

Yeah
