The phone rang abruptly. "I'll get it!" Brian ran out the room. "Hello?" He picked up the phone.

"Hi, is Angela there?" A small, shy voice asked at the other end.

"Yeah, may I ask who's calling?" Brian rolled his eyes, wondering who is could be.

"May I speak to Angela?" Not bothering to answer Brian's question, the caller asked.

"Okay." Brian dropped the phone, picked up the cordless as he hurried back to the game room.

"It's for you." Brian handed Angela the cordless.

"Thanks." She took the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi, Hammy?" The voice asked from the other end.

"Amanda? Oh, my god, how are you?" Angela gasped in surprise and happiness. Amanda, she had been Angela's best friend ever since 3rd grade. She's caring, sincere, understanding, a good listener, always being positive and supportive.

"Good, you?" Amanda's voice came though the phone.

"Good."

"I called your house and your dad told me that you moved, why didn't you tell me?"

"Sorry, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"It's okay, who was that guy that answered the phone?"

"It was Brian."

"What about me?" Brian jumped at the mention of his name.

"Nothing. She was just wondering who you were." Angela answered.

"Is he your boyfriend or something?" Amanda asked.

"Nah, just a friend."

"I wanna talk too! Who are you talking to?" Nick complained, grabbed the phone from her.

"Hang on, it's my best friend since..."

"Hammy? Are you still there?" Amanda yelled from the receiver.

"Yeah, hey, I want you to talk to someone." Angela handed the phone to Nick.

"Hello?"

"Hi, I'm Nick! And you are?"

"Amanda."

"Why do you call her 'Hammy'?" Nick chuckled.

"No! Don't tell him!" Angela snatched the phone from Nick.

"Hey!" He protested.

"You still there?" Angela said.

"Yeah, give me your address before I forget! I might be coming down to Florida this Friday."

"That would be great. Do you have pen and paper?"

"Go ahead." Angela quickly told her friend the address of the apartment she and Sarah shared.

"Thanks, I'll talk to you later." They said their good-byes and then hang up.

Angela and Sarah got an apartment not far from the guys. Nick wanted Angela to finish high school, but since it's obviously too late to register, so Angela's gonna start at the fall semester instead.Meanwhile, she just hang with Nick or the other guys. The first time of Angela's life, she felt relieved and relaxed. Nick gave her a new life, a life that she would love and enjoy with him.
