"Right!! Like what was he even thinking!! Oh im justy gonna walk by the shell and it wil woosh cabam!!" I chuckle. "Say, Emu?" "Hm?" "What do you say about helping me out today?" "Sure!! With what?" "Well.. i kinda said yes to organizing papers this afternoon due to peer pressure. And the student council assigned me so much!" "Oh im glad i'll be helping then!!"
~~~
"Here you two go. Make sure that when you're done you go for the stack in the back as well. Sorry for putting this on you two. WIsh ya luck!" The boy waved as he left the classroom. "Well lets get started!"
"How are you always so enthusiastic?" "I dont know.. I guess i look forward to things like this, because im not alone." "Yeah i guess." "PFFFTTT" "What..?" "DID YOU WRITE MY NAME ON THE SCHOOL PAPER?" "N-NO!!!" I yell, erasing it as fast as i could. "YOU DIDDDD~~" "DID NOT!" "Its okay, i'll write yours too! SEE! Y/n <3!" I blush. "You do too much, Emu."
~~~~ "FINALLY! I FINISHED STAPALING AND LABLING ALL 27 PAPERS!!" I exclaim proudly. I look up at emu, holding the stack. She gives me a smirk look and points to the stacks at the back. I deadpan. "WEll looks like we finished at the same time! I'm gonna grab the other stack." I nod. She grabs the other stack and walks toward me. Its already 6:30?/ How will i get home.. - "OH SORRY EMU!!" I yell, as we both bumped our heads and fell down. "I'll help you pick up all these papers." "Thanks y/n-san." In a rush, i quickly grabbed my phone and dusted my skirt off. I held out my hand to Emu in which she took it. We both nodded and continued with our work.
~~~ "tHat was so muchhhh why couldn't they have done it themselves?? Heck I should be called the student council president!" Emu giggles. "Emu, i hope you know it is almost 7 pm. We both missed the bus. Any idea on how we are gonna get home?" "Yep! I already planned that out! My dad is on his way!!" "REally?? AHH YESSS!!" She laughs.
"Thank you for the ride, Mr. Otori-San. I appreciate it very much." "Of course dear." I wave goodbye as their car disappeared out of sight. I walked into my house, in a cheerful mood. "Where have you BEEN??" "M-Mom! I was just doing a project with my friend in school and i lost track of time." "Yeah ok, but you didn't bother to get me a beer? How do you think i feel? I let you run around making out with boys till 7pm and this is what i get? You're so damn selfish!!" I roll my eyes. No point in arguing with her. She's drunk.
I rush upstairs, Taking out my phone. I'm so excited to- wait a second.. This isnt my phone.. I panic. Looking at the pink case with a star charm. "Did me and Emu switch phones!!"
Emu <3 ( ) Hey emu! I think we switched phones!!
Emu looks down at what she believed was her phone. "Huh?"
Y/n :) ( ) "Oh my god. I didn't even notice!! I'm sorry Y/n-samaa!! I'll be sure to give it back to you tomorrow!"
I freeze up.
"Okay! Don't forget."
I turn off her phone. She saw the contact name i gave her!! I am gonna kill myself. THIWS IS SO EMBARRASSKIG I SHOULDVE ORGANIZED THE PAPERS MYSELFF I squeal.
~ding~
Y/n :) ( ) haha okay i won't.
I sigh and turn off the phone again. This is so humuliatinggg
~~~~
I can't sleep. Why am i always so restless these nights? I glance back at Emu's phone next to my pillow. It wouldn't hurt. She won't find out anyway. I unlock her phone. What should i look at.. She doesn't have any social media.. I guess the only thing interesting is her messages.. Is this wrong? Totally.
I scroll through her contacts. Who's this Dad? There shouldn't be anything embarrassing here.
( )
Dad :D
Hey dad Can you pick me up Today? Me and Y/n stayed at school Doing paper work.
Sure.
Nothing out of the ordinary.. Let me scroll up.
Please dad! You can't destroy the stage! I promise! I'll work hard! Please! Don't destroy grandpas stage! He hasn't gotten his dream yet!
Emu. We've talked about this. Ever since your grandpa passed, you've been loosing it. WE arent here to keep useless memories. WE have to move on. I OWN THE PARK NOW. I can do as i please. Besides, you failed two whole years of putting that rusty thing to use. What makes you think you can make a difference now?
I can! I can! I swear! I promise! Emu. The stage is getting demolished next friday. I can't stop business orders. Move on. Its over. Grandpa never got his dreams. Oh well. Life is life. Nothing we can do about it.
I click on the other contact, labeled " Shousuke :>"
Hey brother! I just wanted to check up on you. How are you! Also i was thinking, for the stage we can maybe add some glitter and bling to hang with the woosh fact! Thank you for helping me out!
Emu. Im fine. And i only said i'd help you so youd stop annoying me. Im really busy right now. I don't have time for this.
Oh, thats okay! Maybe a unicorn can swope in and save you from all your chores!
LOLLL WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Thats so stupid, Emu. You're so child-like. Grow up will you?
You're right haha, i dont know what i was thinking. Thank you brother!
Oh my god emu, i had no idea. I don't think i want to look- hey is this one of the student council members? Oh thats the guy who asked me to help out today.

"Hey- Wait up y/n!! Also- you didn't tell me you were getting cyberbullied!!" I freeze. I tried to avoid her all day today. "W-What do you mean- hey! You snooped through my phone??" "You act like you didn't do the same!" She pouts. "Okay true." "But still! You could of told me! Thats what friends are for!!" "yeah and you never told me about your grandpa! Soo" She froze. 'I- "Im sorry. I shouldn't of brought it up."
"Its okay, you know now, so theres no use in trying to hide it. I know about yours too, Y/n. And what happened that night." I froze. "H-How.." "You write everything into your notes app, of course i'd find out. I'm sorry for that. I'll always be here for you, y/n." "I'm glad i get to know something about you Emu. Its always about me and my problems, but i never thought a certain enthusiastic girl could have such harsh problems in her life." "I guess that makes two." She smiles as we hug.
