Rae was not sure whether she was absolutely furious or frustrated with this news, but she definitely was one of the F's.

'Imane?' Rae asked, eyes pleasingly directed towards her best friend who was avoiding her gaze. 'Imane, please. Don't do this to me. I absolutely cannot stand him. I just can't. I'll die.'

Imane rolled her eyes, 'Rae, that's a bit too overdramatic. And I really really cannot help it.' She shrugged, pouting. 'When I met him, that's when I realized he's the same James, Alex had been talking about.'

Rae tsked, shutting her eyes as she groaned. 'How did you not know!'

'Yes.' Imane said mockingly. 'Yes, it's me. I should have known that Alex's friend is James, the same James who's Sykkuno's twin, someone we had no idea existed.' Rae pouted at Imane's rants. 'Yes. I am at fault, right?'

Rae sighed. 'Now who's being overdramatic? Huh?'

'That's what happens when I am with you!' Imane said, smiling.

'Yea but you're going to leave soon.' Rae pouted again, playing with the half eaten noodles.

Imane saddened a bit at the thought. She was moving in with Alex after their official engagement party and even though Rae was very happy for her best friend, she just couldn't help but be so really sad that Imane wouldn't be around here.

'Don't say it like that!' Imane said, stretching her hands and wrapping them around Rae. The sad girl just chuckled but didn't hug back. 'You know I love you right.'

'Yea yea.' Rae said, smiling, 'Prove it by uninviting this onion guy.'

'Argh.' Imane groaned, taking her hands off Rae and collecting the plates. 'Come on Rae, it's just a weekend and a small party. I don't think it's going to be that bad!' Imane said, shrugging as she emptied the leftovers in the bin. 'Plus, there are going to be people around, so I'm a little less worried.'

Rae furrowed her brows as she looked at the kitchen where Imane was, 'Less worried because that stupid onion wouldn't say anything rude?'

'Nah.' Imane chuckled, looking at Rae. 'Less worried because you'd won't be able to react violently in front of everyone.'

'I hate you bitch.'

Imane just chuckled at that. 'But I love you.'

Needless to say, Rae's mood was downhill the next few days. She really needed a break from work and life in general but having the person who got on her nerves by just standing was going to be a be a task to handle.

Maybe she could just ignore him.

That would be cool.

She would ignore him and he'd ignore her. And everything would go great for the both of them. And then she wouldn't want Imane's party to be ruined because she couldn't be mature to handle an idiot.

Yea. Ignoring him sounds easy.

She was streaming and playing Valorant but her cam had heated up again and she couldn't get it on. So she had kept herself on mute, trying to figure out the cam when her character died while the game went on.

'Sorry chat.' She said, unmuting herself. 'My cam is heated way up. Gotta chill it. Sorry sorry.'

The chat went as usual with their supportive comments and Rae continued playing Valorant with Ryan, Abe, Sykkuno, Toast and Ash. She didn't wanna drop to Iron like Sykkuno and wanted to raise his level too, so they had to win every game.
