It made our cold waffles a little warmer.
As I got ready for school in the bathroom, my phone pinged with a text in my band’s group chat. It was now named “Like Airplanes ” instead of “Oliver’s Garage Band ”. I’d thought someone had deleted the chat, but all our old conversations were still there.
Oliver
Meet in the break room at the animal shelter as soon as you arrive
I blinked, not sure what was happening. I’d been positive that everyone was done with Like Airplanes. Oliver had told us to take his instruments out of his garage. Even Hayden had admitted defeat. Had they changed their minds?
Hope rose in my chest, but I tried to squash it before something else would.
Caleb
Only if there will be snacks
Dallas
Wait what’s going on?
Hayden
Yeah what’s up?
Oliver
Just meet at the shelter so we can talk things out there, all of us
If everyone else is down
Caleb
Like I said, only if there are snacks
Hayden
Don’t getmy hopes up dude
Oliver
I’m not playing around
That’s Caleb’s job
Caleb
I never play around
Always serious
Oliver
Okay, Fresh Chips
Caleb
Still think it’s a bomb name
Hayden
