"Oh, my freaking life... !"

Cara gasped loudly, causing the silent, busy people waiting along at the bus to give us an uncanny stare.

I facepalmed myself. "My bad. I should've brought the announcement speaker for you. Might've been less embarrassing."

We both travel together daily because of a few very obvious reasons. For one, we've been neighbors for almost six years now. Two, we went to the same university together. And three, our working places are in the same area. This is something I never imagined to come this smoothly to me. And of course, our shining star, the chirping bird of our trio; Ben. Without him, we are so incomplete.

"Hey! A famous person not just talked, but even followed you! You do realize how big that is now, don't ya?" Cara laughed and nudged me playfully. "Astonishing, you did what you said. I'm impressed."

I gave off a faint smile. "I do and that says nothing about taking it so damn seriously. Aren't you aware of that annoying trick people use to get followers? They like your stuff, comment, or even talk to you, and then they follow only to unfollow right after you follow them back. Now you tell me how is this different from what Wade Samuels just did?"

Today morning, the first thing I did - well, I had no other choice - was sending the screenshots of my conversation with Wade Samuels to my joker buddies.

Oh, a piece of advice here for people who have jumpy, enthusiastic friends; never pick up their call after sending them information about situations they forced you in. If you do, then always take precautions. Always. Your eardrums are likely to blast. This was my second experience in a row.

When the bus arrived, we hurried inside to get to our usual third seat to the right side. As it was only seven-thirty in the morning, it was easier for us to get the seat of our liking with fewer folks on the bus.

"Yeah, but what do you get to lose? You're already following him." Cara looked disappointed by my explanation.

"Why are you getting upset over something that's literally nothing? We pretty well know how these things with famous folks go. They do whatever they're told to. So, I kinda don't blame them either." I shrugged my shoulders.
