After a while of waiting for Jasper to return from wherever he'd went to after our argument about the issue of his 'girlfriend', I got a video call from Klaus. Overjoyed, I immediately accepted it. It's been days since I talked to them! I mean, of course we chat in our 4-member group everyday and every hour, but that isn't the same as seeing them face-to-face and hearing their bright voices. On every holiday, especially during the long summer holidays, I missed Karly and Klaus very much. I missed their bright voices making my day as bright as the sun, I missed that wide grin on their faces when they meet me in the morning, I missed the lunchtime when we share our lunches and run around school afterwards. Not many kids miss their school when it closes for vacation, but I do. In fact, I prefer school over my own house anyday because spending some time with my friends and annoying people like Ava is better than living in solitude inside my bare, empty house. And now, I missed another person too - Dorian. Our new best friend.

"Hey July!" Klaus' peppy voice rang through the phone. A smile immediately plastered itself onto my face.

I chuckled, "Hey pal, you still alive or what?"

"Fortunately, yes, and we're so sorry for not having called you earlier. We totally forgot that you were away," he answered with a shrug and a sad pout. Before I replied to that, I heard Karly's muffled voice through the other side saying something like, "Give it to me, Klaus! I need to talk too, y'know."

He responded back in a half yell-half whisper, "Shut up! Don't you know that interrupting someone while they're talking isn't manners?"

Though Karly was far behind him, I could already sense her eyes widen and her teeth grit at Klaus referring to her as being 'mannerless'. Out of everything, she hated being called a mannerless fellow or an uncultured person.

"I did not interrupt you!" Karly yelled back, "I told you that after you were finished talking to her, dumbass."

"No you didn't, freak!"

I rolled my eyes. Not this again, I thought they were biting each other head's off at school and at home, but no, even while they're on call they're as bad as ever. I wonder how they were even born as siblings. But then again, most siblings are like this; I just didn't know much since I'm a single kid.

"How dare you call me a freak when you're using my phone, idiot? Give it to me this second or I'll kill you!"

"Excuse me, your phone? This is mine."

"What about the one on the charger then?"

"That's mine too."

"Fuck -"

"Stop it, you two!" I cut in between, not wanting to hear them curse each other even while being far from them. But of course, they couldn't hear it in the midst of their loud yells and shouting. My voice was far below their level of tones when they fought with each other.

"You only have one damn phone, Klaus!"

"So what? You use every shirts and watches I have, so why can't I use your phone?"

"Because unlike shirts and watches, my phone contains private stuff which I obviously don't want you to see! Don't you know that using someone else's phone is equal to intruding on their privacy? That isn't manners either, ha."

"Oh my God, Karly, do you send nudes?"

"No!" Karly groaned in anger, "Nudes aren't the only stuff that's private, you jerk!"

Klaus burst out laughing, nearly making my eardrums explode at his squeaky voice.

"Why are you laughing?"
