CHAPTER 27 (part 1)

She thumbed down the console as her eyes piercing right to the screen. She didn't even blink. It was her versus Grace. They've been fighting about half hour and no one seemed to give in easily.

She had her feet on the table as she leaned
comfortably to the arm sofa whilst chewing her
bubble gum.

"Amber, why are you here? It's Saturday
afternoon." Conan stated as a matter of fact. He
took a bag of chips and filled it inside his mouth.
He was just arrived at Olivia's place and didn't
expect the taller girl to be there since she is usually ditching her friends to spent more time with Tara.

"ReeRee is going shopping with her friends." She
replied shortly. "Damn it," she muttered under
her breath. She was about to lose one of her heart because of the other short creature beside her.

Grace didn't respond.

"Sis, you will lose to Grace," Olivia  snickered. "Just wait for it, wait for it..." She laughed loudly. "Bam!"

"Damn it, Olivia!" She shouted, slammed the
console. "What's with you all disturbing my
game, seriously!"

"I won! Wohoooo!" Grace punched the air.

"Woah! That was tiring," she smirked smugly.

"Whatever, I'm not playing that again," she
sulked as she snatched the chips from Conan hand and grabbed a hand of it and ate it in one go.

"Oh you cry baby!" Grace mocked her. "Come
on, one more game." She handed her the main
console, ready to pressed the play button.

"Go play with Claudia, she's way to quiet." Claudia  wasn't paying attention to her friends. She was looking at the table blankly.

"Yo Claud!"Amber threw a peanut successfully landed on her head making her jumped.

"What the heck!" She combed her hair to find the peanut.

"Play with Grace," she said easily.

"I don't want to," she replied, irritated.

"She's been moping about' I-can't-even-know'
a lot lately" Olivia quoted it with her hands. "Tell
her to spill it, sis."

"You heard her, Claud. Spill the beans already,
what's up you?"

"Come on, Amber! One more game!" Grace poked the console to her head.

"Yah!" She shouted. "One more and that's that,
Grace. You're a game freak, gosh,"

They starting a new game as the others do their
own business like watched the battle or eating
snacks or dumbly mistaken the nutshell as the
peanut and spitted it out right after.

"What is it, Claud?" Amber saw the scene at the corner of her eyes. "You're weirder than usual."

"Nothing," she mumbled.

"It's clearly something, stop that long face and
talk to us." Conan chimed in.

Claudia sighed. "Amber? Do you know Irene?" Claudia said cautiously.

"As in Irene Kim the Satan? Yeah I know her,
why?"

Claudia frowned at the statement. "What do you
think about her?"

"Plankton," she replied shortly.

"What?" Olivia laughed. "Are you really talking
about that plankton?"

"Uh-huh." she nodded. "Now I come to think
about it, she's more like Squidward. Grumpy,
pretentious, cynical, that's what I thought about
her."

"YES!" Grace shouted! "You loser!" She shoved
Amber's shoulder who was face palmed at her own bad game.

"Whatever, not playing that again." She tossed
the console to Conan. "Why are you asking about her anyway?" Amber scratched her arms and yawned loudly.
