8 – THE ONE WITH OREO’S LOOKALIKE 1.8
"What was that, young lady? I didn't hear that?" I said weakly as she apologized.
Oh, she's so strong. I can't help but smile, like an idiot.
"I said---" she stopped when she noticed me smiling. Yes, I couldn't help it.
HAHA! The boss everyone fears apologized to me. Is this an achievement?
"What is that?"
"I said, STUPID." she insisted, then glared again and turned away.
I didn't criticize what she said or what she was going to say. I stayed where I was while smiling like an idiot.
Cythera Arentsvelt apologized? I watched her as she walked away from me. This little midget is really something.
It's different when the person who bullied you apologizes to you, but that person has such high pride. I feel like I want to slap myself, just to check if I'm dreaming. Wait a minute...
I was about to slap myself, but I quickly stopped myself when she turned back in my direction. I immediately hid behind my back the hand I was about to use to slap my face.
You're acting like an idiot again, Sky.
"Yes?" I asked quickly because she was staring at me seriously again.
"Where's your phone? Get it." Her command was so authoritative that there were no questions asked and I quickly took my phone out of my backpack. When I opened it, I saw the time. Shit! It's almost twelve o'clock!
"Now type..."
"Huh?"
"I said type."
I couldn't understand what she was trying to say, but I just opened the notepad to type whatever she asked me to type.
"Young lady, what---"
"09215 " she said, mentioning a number that I was sure was a cellphone number that I quickly typed into my notes.
Wait---is this her number? She probably just gave you a random number.
"Text me before doing anything stupid." she said briefly, then turned around and was about to walk away again.
"Wait. I don't have any load." I interrupted her. Well, I'm not loading. All my messages are online.
"And how is that my problem?"
"I'm not loading, just once."
"So what's the point of you having a SIM then?"
"Uhmmm, because it's necessary?"
We just stared at each other because there was no point in me making excuses.
"I mean, because almost all of my conversations are online. Don't you have a social media messaging app? Like messenger, viber, whatsapp, that kind of thing? Even Twitter, Facebook, Insta?"
"No."
As I said. No matter what I search for her, no social media accounts come up. You'd think she was a serial killer hiding from the police.
"It's just a waste of my load when I only have to send one text. I'm loading just to say goodbye," I complained.
"Email me then." she suggested, raising one eyebrow again.
And because I felt like I had lost, I just sighed and bowed.
"It's up to you." I whispered softly to myself, which seemed to be heard by Thera because her forehead furrowed.
"Sorry. I'll email you then."
"I h-have a---" she said stuttering.
And why does she stutter? I thought it was because of confidence.
Wait! Why is it so cute that she stutters?! That's unfair!
"What is it, young lady?" I asked because it seemed like she couldn't finish what she wanted to say.
"I have a..." she said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "A Tiktok account." she added seriously.
"Pffttt..."
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that what she's ashamed to say? Thera has a Tiktok?!
"Laugh and I'll fire you." She threatened seriously, so even though I wanted to laugh, I held it back with all my might.
"I created that account only to watch the videos my siblings are sharing on that app. I only want to make sure that what they're doing is appropriate." she explained defensively.
I just nodded while biting my lip to keep from laughing.
"Now, share this information with Dahlia or anyone in this house and I'll make sure to fire you. Not even Priam or Anthea know about this. Just you. So if I hear someone saying things about me having a Tiktok account, you're fired, Parker." she threatened but I was not afraid.
I'm laughing because it's defensive. HAHAHAHA!
"Nod if you understand"
I quickly nodded to end her threat.
"Now typing."
I opened my phone again and got ready to type in the notes. Now, all I need to know is her username.
She let out a deep sigh before speaking again. "Username is 15PhoebepsyD. So that's 15, then the name Phoebe, then psy, and capital D."
Pffttt...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Why the fxck are you laughing?!"
Idiot! I couldn't stop laughing. The username, the character on Friends and I know what psyD is. I suddenly remembered the night I saw her wearing a jacket with psyduck on the front. Why is her username like that? HAHAHAHAHA.
"Sorry, hahaha! Sorry, I'll stop, I promise. Because, pfft..."
"Stop. You're annoying me." she said while giving me a death glare.
"Sorry, here it is. Is that Phoebe, the spelling, like Phoebe's from Friends?"
It seems like Phoebe is the favorite character. Who else has a brain that's full of holes?
She was a little surprised by my question. She probably didn't expect me to mention Friends. I actually did it on purpose to catch her reaction.
"I don't know. But, maybe, yes." she answered confusedly, clearly feeling a little lost.
So what if her favorite is Friends and Psyduck. She's so cute. Her scaryness has been reduced by about 20%.
I stopped laughing and saved the username she said. I'm learning a lot from her, just today.
"Now, go back to your room and stop bothering me."
"Huh? No, I'm going home."
"No. Go home tomorrow."
"But---"
"No buts. Go home tomorrow. It's not safe. There's a serial killer around, remember?"
She just looked at me seriously for a moment and then walked away again. This time, she didn't stop and walked straight towards the elevator. When the door opened, she immediately got in. The elevator door closed until she was completely out of my sight.
I just walked back to my room in silence. Slowly walking through the dark hallway on the 5th floor while I couldn't wipe the smile off my lips. I was scrolling through her Tiktok account.
