Chapter 24: Home Sweet Home

♣️♠️♥️♦️

"So..." Tamara started. "Care to tell me why you're snooping around my fucking house and trying to steal my fucking key card?"

Sayaka didn't answer. She's busy overthinking.

"Damn it, Sayaka! You should've just pinned her location on your phone and left! Now, look at what your curiosity got you! She cannot find out the reason why you're spying on her. Think about an excuse, Sayaka! Think!" she said to herself.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She checks it and looks at Tamara who's looking at her with prying eyes from the kitchen.

"I-It's my Mom," she answered.

"Oh~ Can I talk to her?" Tamara stops what she's doing and washes her hands.

"I-It's fine—"

"Wonderful!" she blurted before snatching Sayaka's phone from her hand.

"Hey!"

The black-haired girl gestures for her to be silent and being the taller one of the two, she makes sure that the purple-haired secretary won't reach the phone while she's talking to the latter's mother. She gave her one last don't-you-ever-try-to-taser-me stare before putting a smile on her face and answering the call.

"Konbanwa, Mrs. Igarashi," Tamara greeted the other line. "This is Tammy Edwards..." she looked down at the Student Council Secretary who was glaring at her. "...your daughter's friend."

Sayaka tries to get the phone from Tamara again but this resulted in the black-haired girl keeping them at arm's length. Again, she gave her the death glare and this time, the other girl shrinks on the spot and becomes silent. The purple-haired girl glares at her from time to time when she's not looking.

"...Yeah, apparently your daughter has an... Hmm... What do you call it? Right... 'exceptional' skill in information gathering and situational awareness that we become friends instantly." 

The purple-haired girl is somewhat relieved that Tamara didn't tell her mother about what she's up to in these recent weeks. If she does, she'll get in bigger trouble.

"Sorry Mrs. Igarashi if your daughter can't come to the phone right now... Oh, couz she's busy glaring at the huge 'math' problem she's dealing with right now." 

"Uhm... No, Ma'am, we are not having a sleepover, don't worry... I'll help your daughter with this huge 'math' problem she's solving... We'll eat dinner together too and make sure that she gets home safe before 10." 

"It's nice to make your acquaintance too, Mrs. Igarashi. Thank you for calling, have a great night!" 

Tamara ends the call with a smile and gives the phone back to Sayaka. "Your Mom seems to be sweet and caring about you," she said. "My mom could never," she added and laughed.

"Stop glaring at me. I might think you don't like me," she told her.

"You 'think'?!" the purple-haired secretary replied sarcastically.

"I mean I'm the one and only Tammy Edwards!" she boasted. "What's not to like?" she leaned closer to Sayaka and posed with a finger gun under her chin. "Hm?"

The Student Council Secretary's cheeks turned red and she immediately turn her head away from Tamara to hide it.

"OH. MY. GOD!" the black-haired girl suddenly shouted and put her hands on her mouth. "OH MY FUCKING GOD!"

"You have a crush on me!" she yelled.

Sayaka's eyes widened after hearing what the other girl had said.
