Aww this one was cute, and different! It would be the perfect romcom movie.

June is stuck 85 years in the future after falling into a wormhole. She has been there for 5 years, hidden as to not destroy all of space and time.

In the present we have Mikey, gym teacher, good guy, and who knows June. The buttoned up teacher that he does not really have any contact with. But then he gets a weird phone call, from June, from the future. He was the only one that she strangely could contact. And she needs his help, befriend present day June so that she does not fall through the worm hole!

Future June is fun and quirky. Present day June has anxiety, a crush on the math teacher, too many responsibilities, and finds it weird when Mikey keeps talking to her.

Full cast, I was really living through it. Great narration from everyone, and it did feel like a movie. It was funny, I did not know how it would end? Obvi June and Mikey belonged together, but we have 2 Junes!

Fun, short! I like short, and enjoyable

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights.

But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled. Problem is, the phone can only call one number: her work nemesis, gym teacher Mikey Shannon.

Now future June must help Mikey befriend present-day June to keep her from disappearing. But present-day June doesn't even want to be in the same room as Mikey, let alone become besties. And Mikey isn’t exactly...talkie. Yet he’s spending hours a day with future June on the phone, and even more time trying to befriend present-day June. Volunteering with June at school, check. Facing his fear of roller coasters to make June smile, check. Adopting a puppy and letting her name it. Check.

But what does succeeding in the present mean for future June, and for the serious feelings she and Mikey are starting to catch for one another? Stopping time travel is one thing—but can they stop themselves from falling in love?
