Agent Vinel Is Delusional!

Chapter 2: So Dramatic.

"Reminds me of this one time mama took me and my small-brained brothers to a sketchy ass mall. We were getting her new earrings... or was it her new handbag? One of the two... it's hard to keep track of all the crap she goes on about sometimes. She was in her whole 'eliminate all traces of former wardrobe' phase which was literal hell. Can you imagine having to listen to her bitch out all her tailors every day? I soooo wanted to replace my ears with beach balls, drive a corkscrew through 'em and let them burst into a million rubber pieces!" 

"Anyways, we went to the mall, and she was all like 'Tunji, stay with your siblings.' But my brother's a jerk, so he was all like 'But moooom, I have better things to do like eating dirt!' or something stupid like that. I wasn't paying attention. He's always whining, so I just tune it out. It's so annoying! Like you're the oldest, act like it! My mom basically said the same thing, so he was stuck with us."

"But while she was gone, he saw this redhead chick and got distracted. Which first off, eww why is he like this? And second, what's up with redheads getting all the guys? I think I could do better than Ed Shearan's twin sister-" Kenny ranted.

"The hell does this have to do with anything?" Emeric interrupts, rubbing his temples in irritation."I was getting to that, Beckett!" Kenny snaps, glaring at him before resting her head in her hands.

"Anyway, like I was saying, Tunji went to go hit on the girl with the Karma Akabane hair. So I was left alone with the younger one—"

"Aren't you twins?" Emeric cuts in again, earning a groan from Kenny.

"This story would be a lot shorter if you'd just shut up, Em." She grumbles.

"So, we're just standing there, awkward as hell, in the lingerie section— oh lingerie! That's what we were getting! Right, so we're waiting around like lost orphans when this massive guy runs past us. I'm talking a behemoth of a man. Must've been nine feet tall with a family of Mormon birds living in his disgusting beard. He practically knocked my scrawny baby brother halfway across the planet. So I was like, 'Hey, what the hell? You can't just do that!' But I guess those birds were nesting in his ears too, 'cause he totally ignored me! I would've chucked one of those skimpy blue panties right at his head if my brother hadn't stopped me," Kenny huffed, her irritation growing with every word.

The other two sit in silence, waiting for her to wrap up her highly exaggerated story. But when Kenny pulls out her phone, they realize that was the entire thing.

"I'll ask again," Emeric says, deadpan. "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"

Kenny looks at them, confused. "Weren't we talking about rude people shoving us?"

"No, we were talking about the 'Olympic runner' Chloe met last night.'

"Oh." Kenny turns to the blonde girl who offers her an awkward smile. "What was that about again?" She asks, popping a piece of gum past her cherry-colored lips. 'Was she even listening?' Chloe resists the urge to scowl at her curly-haired friend.

'You knew she wouldn't care. Why even bother?' Chloe had been shaken up by last night and thought her friends might help her decide whether to keep the necklace. 'I really need to start forming my own opinions,' she sighs inwardly.
