Alvin in the Fourth Scene 12

When the phone rang, I nearly jumped out of my skin. As I reached for the receiver; lifted it off the wall unit and before I could say anything, one quick glance at the Caller-ID caused my soul to squeal with delight… I knew her number by heart.

I placed the receiver to my ear and said, “Hello?”

“Hello Mrs. Holloway.” Sang out Jacquelyn’s voice.

“No, this is Alvin!” I said while moving to the pantry cupboard and closing myself inside with the phone.

Who cares if she thought I was my mother. It was Jacquelyn calling me!!!

“Hello.” Someone else had picked up the phone too. It was Grandmother.

“No Grandmother I got it.” I said into the phone.

“Who is it?” Grandmother asked.

“Grandmother I got it! You can hang up now!” I said with annoyance.
