Izukus pov :
Now that I've finally accepted the fact that I'll be forever lonely, I have work to do!
Cleaning my room? Check!
Organizing my books by color? Check!
Crying over the dumbest friendship in the history of my life? Check!
Cleaning out the mini-fridge? Check!
Setting up my PC? Check!
Freeing up storage on my phone? Oh...
Well that's what I was missing!
Hopefully this should be quick, deleting a few contacts and offloading a few useless apps shouldn't take that long, right?
I decided to start with the contacts, it's better to get rid of the more time-consuming knowing that I have more spam numbers saved into my phone than real contacts from people I know personally.
I don't have that many apps on my phone anyways....
Oh right! Let's start!
Top of the list.. let's see..
+** ********..
I don't recognize the number..
I'll send them a text?
^Izuku: hi! who are you?^
I'll check on the response later.
Next we have...
+** ********!
I think this might be my old librarian partner from school?
I'll send them a message anyways, just to be sure.
^
Third number! We have...
+** ********
This number has no messages or calls saved whatsoever. It can't be spam...
^Izuku: hi! who's this?^
They won't respond that quick- right. Onto the ne-
*ding*
oh. They responded.
^???: Depends, who am I talking to?^
What the fuck? That's so creepy..
I'm kinda freaked out..
^Izuku: Uhm... my name is Izuku, if that helps.^
^???: hmm.. okay.^
^Izuku: You still haven't really told me who you are though..^
^???: You can call me Shota, then^
^Izuku: Okay Shota, how the fuck did you get my number?^
^Shota: Don't lie to me, I know you got mine, kid!^
^Izuku: Do you mind if I call you liar instead then?^
^Shota: might as well stick around if we both "don't know" how we got eachothers numbers, as long as you don't cause any trouble, kid.^
^Izuku: Fine. But would you stop calling me kid? I'm probably older than your age doubled!^
^Shota: Maybe, it depends. Are you over 60 years old?^
^Izuku: What kind of stupid question is that? Do you think some old shitty man would be texting some random creepy person with a creepy name and creepy tactics to get peoples numbers?^
^Shota: I'll take that as a no, so to me, you're still a kid.^
^Izuku: If you're over 60 years old I'm blocking you, jsyk.^
^Shota: I guess we won't have any problems then.^
^Izuku: Good!^
^Shota: Which part of Japan are you from?^
^Izuku: WHAT? That's so fucking random!^
^Shota: No harm in innocent curiousity..^
^Izuku: To me, there fucking is! I'm from the part called Nanya, it's filled with meadows and gardens and people who don't steal others peoples numbers!^
^Shota: Could you let go of the number thing? We both know I didn't cause this mess!^
^Izuku: "We both know I didn't cause this mess" my ass! Then who did? Casper the ghost?^
^Shota: No, I have to go now, talk to you later.^
^Izuku: ttyl^
That guy is weird.
