Online: UNFRIENDED

004

Nox didn't bother to listen at their banter, she would rather play flappy bird on her phone to pass time than listen to them trash talk one another.

Jess and Val going at each other's throats was a normal occurrence. It gets tiring.

"I told you, I didn't type that, Jess!"

"Fuck you!"

"I told you, I didn't fucking type that!"

"Bullshit."

"Hey, somebody let me know when it's fucking over."

Having enough, she was about to speak when Blaire messaged the chat box.

Blaire Lily: im with jess

"Can you guys like, chat with proper punctuations and capitalization? Your messages are killing me." Nox complains, making Adam and Ken laugh

"Okay, yeah, Blaire. Take her side."

"Girls please! Stop."

"Just take Jess' side. Of course"

"I love you guys so much. Let's be.....What? I didn't type that!"

Then the three of them argued.

"Girls, girls, you're all pretty. Stop this shit." She attempted to stop them only to fail miserably.

"If it's not you then who did, huh Blaire?"

Billie227: It was me.

Billie227: Hi.

"Well, who the fuck is Billie?"

"Ken, you said it was just a glitch."

"Well, the glitch just typed!"

Breath hitching, Nox licked her dried lips and pressed on the account to show its profile. Shocking her more when she found out it's her boyfriend's old account.

"The fuck?" She stutters out.

Billie227: guess who?

"This.. this is Lawrence's account!" Blaire blurts out, shock evident on her voice

"Are you sure?"

"I'm.. I'm positive."

"Not Lawrence Barns." Val groans

"Yes, I'm still friends with him on here, I never like, deleted it."

"Seriously?"

"Who is doing this?"

"Maybe it's Lawrence..." Ken trails off before his eyes flickered on Nox. "Hey, Nox. Are you doing this?"

"What?" She asks in utter disbelief. "No!"

"Are you using his laptop? Pranking us? This is fucked up, Nox."

Nox defensively raised her two hands. "I didn't. Yes, I'm using his laptop but never opened his account. What? Do you think I'm sick in the head to use his account? A dead person's account?"

Billie227: hey baby, don't ignore me.

"Whoever the fuck is doing this, stop it." Nox says vehemently, glaring at the profile.

"Oh come on, it's probably you asshat." Val concludes, rolling her eyes. "You're doing this to fucking trip us all out. You play sick, dumb bitch."

Nox scoffed. "Really? Me? Why the fuck would I try to open Lawrence's account when I'm using my Skype now? We shared one laptop, fucking whore."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Chill out guys."

"If you so could use that very tiny bit of your brain, then maybe you would think of--Oh I don't know, 'If Nox is doing this and her camera is on, then why the fuck is Lawrence's camera off?' Use your fucking brain, it should be there for a reason." She spat at Val

"Going so defensive now?"

"Enough, enough, girls." Mitch tried to stop them

"Guys, stop it, come on now." Blaire too, tried to appease two furious girls.

"You're so fucking stupid. Ever wondered what's the purpose of your brain instead of using your fucking mouth to pass your uni?"

"Woah! Hold on, Nox." Jess exclaims, "Guys, come on."

"Holy shit, I must be high to hear this shit." Adam added

Val gasped, "How the fuck do you know that?"

"You just proved my bluffing right, stupid motherfucker."

They both gave venomous glares that could easily kill anyone if it could actually harm someone.

"Maybe it's his brother." Jess suddenly says.

"Why the fuck would he hack a dead boy's account? Especially his brother's?"

"To scare us?"

Nox groans, rubbing her face with her palms in a stressful matter.

"He's a weirdo too."

"Jess, not because he didn't like the screw with you means that he's a fucking weirdo. Get a fucking grip."

"Shit, you tried to fuck with Lawrence's brother?" Adam asks, eyes agape at the information.

"No, I--"

"Yeah, deny it all you want nasty hoe."

"Why are you even defending them?"

"Because I'm a decent human being that would include someone that isn't even present here. Ever thought of that?"

They all kept quiet, before Ken spoke again. "Maybe it's a troll?"

"What's a troll?"

"An Internet troll? Like, someone that harasses people online. They wanna get reactions from people."

"Can we--can we hang up on him?"

Nox eyes all the button provided on their screen call. "The end button isn't here.."

"What the fuck?"

Val irritatingly rubbed her temple, "Fine. If we can't hang up on him then I'll take care of him. Hey, hi, Billie. Listen sweetheart. You're a fucking asshole, and if you don't take these down right now, I'll come over there and knock the trash out of your ears!"

And just like that, Billie chatted.

Billie227: sounds great

Billie227: but you wouldn't like it here

Holy shit.

"Who the fuck is this guy?"

"Guys," Nox sighs for how many times this day, "It's not ideal to threaten someone online. If you wanna threaten someone, try doing it face to face."

Billie227: Correct. Have the actual balls to confront me, Val. Pretty face with a useless brain.

"Fuck you, asshole!"

Billie227: you're not my type, and I have Nox.

Nox fidgeted with her blue cigarette tin, opening it to take another stick to calm her fucking nerves. It creeped her with every working nerves she has when he replied that.

That was how Lawrence messaged anyone who tried to sleep with him.
