A Perfect World- FLASH

Sitting in class she checks her phone again.  Nothing. Just the time flashing, notifying her it's been almost three hours since she got out of bed, and it's two hours later in New Jersey.  She sighs, trying not to think too much, but that never works.
     The conversation runs back through her head, the one they should be having right now.  They should be talking and laughing, like nothing is going wrong. He should be telling her about his day, how he slept the night before, the classes he's taking, what time his plane leaves and what time it gets in.  She should be telling him about how she can't wait for him to come home, how she's so excited to see him tomorrow.  She should be telling him how she hasn't practiced since Saturday, but she doesn't feel worried. She'll save that for Tuesday when the performance comes up.
     She checks her phone again and sees that there's a message! From her mom. She puts the phone away and vows to stop checking until lunch, but that never works.
