"If you post, you die." Monet De Haan said sternly as she and Zoya held onto her phone. Zoya chuckles nervously, then takes the phone and walks away slowly. Zoya couldn't believe it; she had devised multiple plans last night to stop this sex tape debacle, but having Monet De Haan give her access to something so secretive as her phone was not one of them.
Zoya quickly arrives at study hall in the school library and goes upstairs to find a spot against the wall in the shelf passageway. She grabs a random book on the shelf and uses it as a cover. The last thing she needs is a student or worse, a teacher to snoop behind her to see what she is doing.
She goes through Monet DM's to find the name Luna mentioned last night, who messaged about the sex tape. She scrolls through her DMs and can't help to notice how many DM's Monet receives. She sees how many girls and women, probably influencers or models, send flirty or thirsty messages. Then some guys who are clueless or have ignored the fact that Monet is not into men and have also sent her DM's. Of course, all these DM's are unread then she notices the message from BillyEyelash169.
She reads the messages they sent and sees the blurry screenshot of the sex tape and begins to panic. She quickly sends a message asking if they have a copy of the video. She stared at the message hoping they would respond soon, but after a few minutes and a lot of refreshing the screen, there was no response yet.
Zoya puts the phone down and tries her calm herself down but quickly picks up the phone again, accidentally opening Monet's photo app. Before she moves her thumb to get out the application, she pauses when she notices something.
She clicks on a photo and sees Monet looking...happy? She is lying on the grass in the park, not caring that her outfit could be dirty, and is hugging her poodles. She can't help to think how "sweet" Monet looks. Usually, seeing someone hugging their pets is nothing worth mentioning; however, this is Monet De Haan. She always looks powerful and prestige.
She continues to occupy herself by looking through the photos. She knows this is a massive invasion of privacy and understands the irony of it with her current situation, but when will she ever get a chance to see Monet De Haan in this element? Zoya figures this will be something that she will keep a secret for the rest of her life...or Monet will pay a hitman to end it.
She looks at another photo and starts to smile; it's a pic of Monet taking what she knows Luna would say is a "basic" mirror selfie and making a goofy face. The image makes her want to know what was going through Monet's mind when this photo was taken. What made Monet smile that day? When Zoya thinks about the attributes of Monet de Haan, goofy is not one of them. Zoya then clicks on a video of Julien and Monet doing a TikTok dance in their Pajamas. Zoya can't help but chuckle while watching this video. She has never seen Monet and Julien act like this together; they look like regular best friends. Monet always acts so poised, so elegant...practically perfect. Zoya then realizes she wishes she knew this side of her.
