  • pleased tobe reminded.

      tobe = to be
  • always some damn
    • Katie Thornhill
       
      do you mean "one" where you put "some" because that might make more sense
  • It was always some crazy problem that had to happen right away.

      I'm not sure I get what you mean here. Maybe you need to word it better?

  • Her lips tightened, her fists clenched against her side, her breathing speeding up.

      you switched tense - it should be her breathing sped* up if you want to stay consistent
  • Iwant

      Iwant = I want

  • my hair was

      changed tense
  • flip phone—clearly, an old and disheveled phone
    • Katie Thornhill
       
      a little bit awkward - might have something to do with the "clearly" in there because nothing about the part before indicated to me that it was "old" or "disheveled"
  • They thought I would just break it.
    • Katie Thornhill
       
      Maybe you could have something here like "of course, I have dropped this phone about a million times" or something to that effect because that would help to build the character as a bit careless (if you intend her to be) rather than just her parents thinking that she is

  • “FRANK WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!”
    • Katie Thornhill
       
      You seem to like all caps a lot, but there are other ways of indicating volume or frustration or whatever, try describing how she sounds sometime, it could be awesome
  • before
    • Katie Thornhill
       
      just a little thing - by saying "before" you're implying that after she hung up the phone she answered him, which would be super weird. You might want to change that to "without"
