After 50

Hangover

-Fuck - I said when I woke up I didn't close the curtains last night and now I can't see because the sun is burning my eyes out.
-what? - Tara asked as she rolled from one side to the other
-the sun is up
-yeah, so? Let me go back to sleeping - she said and put the pillow over her head
-fine - I grumbled and got up. It was 9 am I saw as I looked at the digital clock on my desk. It was early, well it was early for getting up after a night out. I stumbled into the kitchen and started making my coffee when Lisa appeared from Jane's room. We always sleep like that when we go out, our apartment is in the middle of the city so it's easier if we all sleep here.
-Good morning - Lisa said as she opened the fridge and took out the milk
-Hi. You look energetic
-Yeah well I slept 4 hours so I'm good
-Is Jane awake?
-Nope
-We can go out to the balcony and drink our coffee there
-Sounds good - Lisa said and grabbed her mug. I opened the balcony door and stepped out. It was a pretty small balcony. We had two chairs and a really small table on it and that was it. More than two people probably couldn't even be out here. - Just out of curiosity have you looked at your phone yet?
-No, why? - I was suspicious
-Nothing, I'm just curious if Ryan or Hugh saw your story.
-If you have the energy to look for their names under the story then go for it - I laughed, usually 10 000 people see my story I gave up a long time ago to check who's seeing my stories.
-Give me your phone - she said
-Here you go - I unlocked it for her
-Can I take a picture here and upload it?
-On your or my insta?
-Yours, and only story
-Yeah sure, I trust you. Do I have to pose, will I be in it?
-Hmm...Yeah...Uuuuu we can put our mugs together - at first I didn't understand what Lisa wanted but she coordinated me well so eventually we got the picture taken. It was mostly me smiling at Lisa and her hand was in the picture as we collided our cups. The picture was good, I looked good my hair was messy but looked fine my shirt was old but looked cool and my mugs were the most stylish mugs ever made. (It was the basic blue IKEA mug. Those came with the apartment)
-Aaaand I uploaded it. I actually have amazing ideas - She complimented herself
-You're not wrong, but sometimes your ideas can be risky or dangerous. Like that time in Paris when you didn't want to pay for your ticket for the club
-That was fun! I would do that again
-Well you weren't the one escorted out by the security
-Good morning - Jane peaked out of the apartment
-Good morning - we said it together
-Tara is in the kitchen making our coffees, do you guys want to come in? I don't think the four of us could go out there
-We tried it one time don't you remember - Lisa said as she stood up
-I kind of remember - Jane said after thinking
-Well we were all very drunk, so it's good if you even remember a little bit - Lisa said
-I don't remember - I said
-Who wants scrambled eggs? - Tara asked from the kitchen
-Me
-Me too
-Me three
-So everyone. 8 eggs is good? - Tara asked and we nodded
After breakfast we got ready because we had a class together at university. We decided to take one together which was like a Spanish 101. We sucked at it, but it was one because we all were there.
-So Ella, what is the next step on getting with Hugh Jackman? - Tara asked
-Next step? I didn't even made a first one - I whispered. We sat in the last row of the classroom but there were only 5 rows so we had to be quiet for the prof to not notice us.
-The first step was last night - Lisa said - and I'm still thinking on her second move. I take suggestions if you have any
-You should send him the videos if they are ready. You know you could write "just to make sure they are okay here are the videos" or something like that - Jane said
-That's not good because I already asked him if I should send him the videos and he said that no, he trusts me - I said
-Well that was not a helpful answer from him. Now we have no clue if he said that because he doesn't want to text you any longer or because he wants you to know that he trusts you - Lisa said
-I think the second one - Tara said and Jane agreed
-Let's just not discuss my nonexistent love life in class please
-Okay okay...then I'm going to stalk him - Lisa said excitedly. For girls stalking was like a hobby, or at least in my friend group.
-and I'm going to sleep - Tara announced
-I'm going to read - I said and took out my book which I had to read for another class
-Well then I guess I'm going to take notes for the class
-Ella Ella Ella - Lisa said after 5 minutes
-What?
-Look at this, Ryan Reynolds just posted it and Hugh Jackman shared it on his story too - Lisa said and gave her phone to me, Tara woke up and Jane stopped making notes and looked at the phone with us. It was Hugh Jackman sitting on a balcony and a man's hand was holding a cup and toasting Hugh's cup
-It's clearly a copy of our picture! - Lisa said - Look they even tagged you
-OMG - Jane and Tara said at the same time and I was speechless
-You know what that means? - Lisa asked
-No, what?
-Ryan knows about you, and now you are in a joke war with them, against them if I want to be more specific
-joke war? - I asked back
-Okay I just made up that right now, but it's something like that. He posted something, we copied. We posted something, they copied. Now it's their turn to post something.
-This sounds like a never ending game - I was concerned
-Yeah, well it will be - Jane said
-I don't like this...
-Why? - Tara asked. It seemed like they were all on the same page and I wasn't
-I just don't want to think about Hugh anymore
-Why? Now there might happen something. It's a long shot I know - Lisa said
-But you have to give it a shot - Jane continued
-You know, for the plot - Tara said and finished the conversation. "For the plot" we do everything that isn't deadly. So I had to start playing this game. I was a grown up woman who just started an instagram copy game with two adult men. This is definitely not an usual Thursday.

I know it's been a long time and I will try to write more. This part is a shorter one I will make the future ones at least 2000 words long. I don't know about you but I enjoy it more when there are less but longer parts. Word count: 1180.

Love, Julie
