For the past two days

I was receiving missed calls from a number I didn't recognize. I called back a few times but didn't get an answer. Then yesterday I got a text from the number saying: "dis chris." I was like oh shit! It's my old co-worker Chris that I haven't spoken to in a while. So I called again, but this time I got his voicemail. It was one of those messages where the person rambles on. It went something like this:"I'm unavailable to answer your call, or you're somebody whose shit I am fed up with. If that's the case then don't even bother saying shit. Just hang up the phone." I was like damn. Chris has gotten an edge to him the last time we spoke. A mean streak. I was proud. About an hour ago I received yet another missed call from the number. I was like fuck this, I'm going to call and make sure he picks up. Well, there isn't any way I could make sure he would pick up, but you get the point. So I call and he picks up and sounds groggy. I say:"YO! Waddup Chris!" The reply was:" yea yea yea yea." I was surprised. I thought he would sound more enthusiastic about talking to me. I mean he did try to contact me first. Then I say:" It's me. *inserts real name*" Then he says:"Oh sorry. Must've been a wrong number." Fuck. Talk about a waste of time. Shit man. Chris homie, where are you? Are you alive. Now that I think about it, I should have struck up a conversation and made a new friend. Missed opportunity. I am Baliwala. Please leave a detailed comment with your name and phone number. That is all.
