    I like how easy it is to relate to this.
    I like how you describe everything in a way that makes it feel real without sounding like the narrator is whining. I like how you put the idea of there being another girl last, because it’s the worst of all the possible options and the one you don’t want to think about.
    This is really well written, well done.

    Oh my God. I love this. I literally can't get over it. It's something that every girl in the universe can relate to, and it's still written so uniquely. There's nothing overdone about it, and it's in no way cliche.
    I know basically all drabbles are to the point, but this one seems different. It didn't play games with anything, it just happened, then finished. No added side thoughts.
    The little details were nice too, though. Like wondering what happened, and the trying to distract. Everyone can relate to it, and it's very natural.

    I know this isn't a layout commenting sort of thing, but I just thought I'd share that your layout is beautiful! I'm in love with the beautiful simplicity.

    Okay, review time ^.^ The opening paragraph of the dribble is so honest and real it's fantastic. I think this is a perfect explanation of the unfortunate life of a present day teenage girl, we wait by the phone to see if anyone cares to talk to us outside of our surface encounters. The simile was perfectly used too!

    The Tick. Tick. Tick. just made the clock's mocking more obvious. In a good way though, it emphasized the cruel role that time can play in a situation. I could imagine the girl standing on the edge of a cliff, you have a way with imagery it seems!

    All in all, it was amazing! I think I spotted a grammatical error, but I don't remember it /: ahh, well. It's no big deal! Nice job!

    I agree that this is something most people can relate to.
    You took an idea and portrayed it beautifully.
    I thought this was really good and very well written.
    I'm kind of wondering why she was waiting for a call. Like, what happened before all of this.
    I like when stories make you think/wonder.
    And, of course the layout match nicely.
    Good job.

    I really like this one, especially because I can relate to it so well. I love how you repeated the words 'tick' and 'down', just for that extra effect. And I also really like how you use really long sentences, which are kind of a ramble, but also really short ones. It really balances it all out.
    And the layout matches it all so well, too. Especially the picture. You've done a great job.

    Ah, this is certainly a drabble most can relate to. I've never found myself waiting for a call like that, but I can relate. The part that really stood out for was when she asked the questions regarding his welfare. I've often asked myself those things when someone suddenly stopped talking to me over chat or the phone. It's a real nerve-wrecker.

    Not only that, but you turned a really common situation into something more- something poetic, even. You really did a terrific job here.

    I loved it.
    The only spelling error I saw was where you put drab instead of grab(:
    It was a really good read though(:
