"Why didn't you reply to any of my messages?"
Alison forgot that she had blacklisted him," I didn't receive any."
"That's impossible."
Jacob didn't believe it at all. "Give me your phone."
He had a feeling that Alison had blacklisted him.
Just then, Alison remembered that Jacob had kept texting and urging her to play online games with him at night when she was doing her homework.
Alison had told him that she needed to
study, but he texted her every half an hour.
Then on that Thursday night, the screen of her phone lit up when she was memorizing French vocabulary with Luis. The latter asked her who the sender was.
Alison didn't think much of it or check her phone. Instead, she told him it was an old classmate of hers. However, when she was doing exercises, Jacob's text message came again.
Luis took her phone and asked her if she was familiar with the sender. Alison shook her head, and Luis put Jacob on a blacklist.
In the past few days, Alison hadn't received any text messages from Jacob again. The moment of peace made her drop the idea of removing Jacob from the blacklist.
She was not familiar with Jacob, to begin with. Now that she had been transferred to another school, she would have no more contact with him, and blacklisting him was not much of a problem.
To Alison's surprise, the other party came over.
"I didn’t bring my phone to school,” she said with awkward diffidence.
Alexa was about to speak up when something suddenly occurred to her. "Who are you? What makes you think she'll do that as you ask?"
Jacob frowned but knew that Alison was no liar. Since she said that she didn't bring her phone, he would not make things difficult for her.
He pursed his lips, saying, "It's my birthday this weekend, and we'll throw a party at Silverarc Room 286. Be sure to come."
