I was making breakfast in the kitchen when my cell phone rang.  "Can you grab that, Grandma?" I called, since she was closer.  

"Alright."  She picked up the phone and cut the ring tone off as she answered.  "Hello?"

A moment of pause.  "Sorry."  My Grandmother said.  "I can't here you."  She turned the volume up as high as it went.  

"Hello."  Taki's amplified voice said, and it was loud enough for me to hear it.  "Is Ethan there?"

My grandmother looked at me.  "No, this is his sister's phone."  She said, while using charades to tell me, "there's a boy on the phone!"

"Well, do you know what number I can use to contact him.  He's my best friend, you see, and I haven't see him in a week.  Nii-chan's private jet isn't leaving til tomorrow, and so I wanted to--"

"You don't have to tell me your life story, young man."  My grandmother told him. "Here's Ethan's sister to give you his number."  She held out my phone.

"Hey."  I said in a slightly higher than normal voice, trying to sound as much like a girl as possible.

"ETHAN!" Taki yelled, and I had to hold the phone about a foot away from my ear.  I turned down the volume.  

"I'm Ethan's sister."  I explained.  

"You sound just like him on the phone."

"That's what everyone says."  I ended up giving Taki a totally random number and told him to have a nice vacation.

"You sounded rather stressed talking to that boy."  Grandma commented when I hung up.

"Really?"

"Yes.  Do you two have a history?"  

I laughed. "You could say that."  Not so much a history as a soap opera, only he didn't know it yet.
