⋆ ࣪. VOICEMAILS FOR ISABELLE
⋆ — Stupid Song by Olivia Rodrigo —

I had decided to get one phone for my personal life and another for social media and work. Sometimes it frustrated me to log into Instagram and have tons of messages or notifications, or not being able to share everything I saw on TikTok. So I figured this would be better.

Until one day, my personal phone started receiving messages from an unknown number. I was talking to someone named "Isabella," though sometimes I called her "Izzy" or "Bells." I couldn't understand why she hadn't realized she was calling the wrong number, since she did everything: sent messages, voice notes, stickers, photos—everything. Like any conversation, and always with that excitement, as if someone were actually replying.

I talked to my friends and told them about the situation. At first, they told me to just block the number and that's it. But I was too gossipy to do that. After all, the girl had some good stories and was really funny.

I wouldn't tell him or send him a message, at least not until now.
