Minji POV

I was pulling up to my house completely filled with dread. I saw my dad's truck in the yard meaning he was here. Fuck.

I was short on the money I was supposed to pay him so that's a problem too but maybe he'll be too drunk to notice it.

I hopped off my bike with my helmet in one hand. I slowly walked up to the door taking a very long deep breath before unlocking it and making my way through. The first thing I saw was my dad on the couch watching some football game.

He turned his head to me and sighed, "Why are you so late? You were supposed to be here with my money when school ended."

"Well why are you early?" I said, then realizing I probably should've kept my mouth shut when he stood up and started walking my way.

"Don't get fucking smart with me, Minji. Now like I said where's my money?" He said pointing a finger in my face. I swear I just wanna take it and shove it right up his- "Stop standing there looking fucking dumb." He said taking me out of my thoughts.

I sighed and closed the door taking my bag off my shoulders. I dug in one of the pockets and took out a band of money holding it out to him.

"It's all there right?" He says taking it and shoving it in his pocket. I nodded even though I was lying. "Good, next time don't make dumbass decisions."

I was fighting back a comeback when I decided to just grab my bags and make my way to my room. I jumped onto my bed sighing deeply before taking out my phone. I went onto Instagram and thought for a second before searching "Hanni Pham"

I scrolled through some accounts and came up with nothing. Well duh, I don't know who puts their username as their name except for old people who don't know how to use social media and like celebrities'.

An idea suddenly popped in my head, Danielle and Hanni are friends so they should be following each other. I took a deep breath before going to Danielle's account. I looked at her story and some of her posts since I haven't in awhile.
I miss her sometimes but it was better that we broke up anyways. I went to her following and found "Ih3art_han"

Thank god I found it pretty fast, I clicked on it and the account was private. Shit! Would it be weird if I sent a friend request? No right? I mean we're friends I guess.

Fuck it! I pushed the follow button and immediately threw my phone across the bed and put my head between my pillows. Why do I feel so nervous about this? I don't know at all. I just hope I don't come across as stalkerish.

Hanni POV

"Hanni, have you already picked a costume for tomorrow?" Danielle spoke out through the phone. Niki's Halloween party was tomorrow and I had to prepare. I also might get a chance to be with Niki for a little bit.

"I watched Death Note recently and I was thinking about going as Misa Amane." It's only been a few days since I finished it and I was in love. Misa was totally my favorite, man she deserved better.

"I have no idea who that is but okay! I'm still thinking about mine." Hanni replies. I was going to say something back but a notification popped up.

always.minji is following you

Well that was unexpected I wonder how she found my account. "Hold on Dani, I'll call you back." I said quickly before hanging up. I went to my insta and gave her a follow back. I scrolled and looked at some of her posts.

Wow a guitar? I didn't know she played, as a kid I used to always want to play. I even owned a small one that I begged my parents to get me but I didn't understand a single thing so i stopped.

Also some photos of her, alot of them with a cigarette or some type of drink in her hand. I scrolled back up and went to message her. I thought for a second before beginning to type.

Minji POV

I finally got enough courage to go back on my phone and i saw she followed me back. Okay well that was pretty quick. I went to her account and saw that she does makeup? Wow and she does it really well, she had a few photos of her clients and they all look amazing.

I scrolled a bit further and saw some photos with her and another girl I guess they were friends from her other school? I know Hanni moved here recently. Suddenly I got a notification that she messaged me.

Hanni: Should I be calling you my stalker now?

Well shit. Okay what to say..

Me: Shit, you got me there princess.

Hanni: Still with that nickname? Anyways, you doing anything right now?

I love teasing with that nickname, might be my new favorite thing.

Me: Nope, why?

Hanni: Want to facetime?

Oh shit, she wants to facetime. Alright!
I jumped out of bed quickly going to my mirror.

Okay, I don't look like a total mess right now. I jumped back on my bed and on my phone.

Me: Of course!

A second after, my phone started ringing and I picked up putting my face in the camera. Hanni did the same with a small smile on her face.

"How are you?" I said looking at her through my phone. She had her hair styled in a ponytail, I can't lie and say she doesn't look really pretty.

"I'm good!" She replied. "Oh, I've been planning to ask you're going to Niki's party right? I'd be surprised if you weren't"

"Definitely. What are dressing you up as?" I'm the type of person to never miss a party. I mean free drinks? I'll be there.

"Well if you ever heard of Death Note before. I'm going as Misa Amane!" She said seeming overly excited about it.

I'm surprised she knows about Death Note, I watched it awhile ago. Light is my favorite, he should've beat that white haired bitch!

"Woo! Death note. Misa is a good choice." I said wondering how she would look like in a Misa cosplay.

"Mhm, and what about you?" Hanni said leaning out of the frame a bit.
"I was thinking of getting someone to do Tate Langdon makeup. So I guess that's who I'll be. One problem, I have nobody to do it for me." I said with a small chuckle.

I watched American Horror Story recently and I've been wanting to try his look.

"Well you might've just found the perfect person for the job. I do makeup on the side usually for my friends. I might be able to do something." She said with a big smile.

"Shit, that's perfect." That saves me alot of trouble.

"My parents are leaving for a business trip tomorrow morning. Probably won't be back for a week or two. You can come over an hour or so before the party starts, we can get ready together!" Hanni exclaimed.

"Alright that works."

Well this surprised me. Definitely not how I expected this whole thing to go.
For about 30 minutes or so we talked about Death Note and American Horror Story turns out we have a lot more in common then I thought. Hanni is a very interesting person.
