Texting

" Marcia! "
Comet ran down the stairs his heart skipping. His phone in his hand.
Marcia was rested on the couch watching TV,
" Comet? What's up? "
Her attention went straight to Comet.
" Marcia! Olivia responded! "
Comets heart was pounding a mile a minute knowing that his crush finally noticed him.
Marcia sat down the remote and rested her elbows on her knees,
" That's a first. What did she say? Lemme see. "
Comet skipped over the railing landing landing on his feet and hopped on the couch, he proudly presented the text,
" See?! "
Comet: [ Hi! ]
Olivia: [ Sup Dude. Whatcha want. ]
Comet couldn't handle his excitement,
" I think she likes me! Should I ask her out? No... I think that's too soon, but she sounds so desperate! I should! Imma do it! She can't deny me! "
Marcia looked at him like he was an alien and grabbed his phone before he could type anything in, " Comet. No. You'll sound too clingy! You gotta have at least one real conversation with her! "
He nodded slowly,
" Okay so what do I say? "
Marcia held up his phone, " Watch and learn Butterfly. "
They both bit their lips as she typed,

Comet: [ How are you? ]
...
Olivia: [ I'm chill, hbu? ]

Comet grabbed his phone from her hands, "Oh my gosh, I don't know what that means! "
He leaned in toward Marci,
" Marci! What does, ' happy butterfly upside down ' mean?! "
She laughed at Comet and softly slapped him on the back of the head, " You dummy, it means, ' How about you. ' Gosh. "
Comet mimicked her in an annoying voice, " you dummy! "

Comet: [ Good. Just hanging out with Marcia. ]
...
Olivia: [ Cool. Isn't she like your girlfriend or something. ]

Comet bursted out laughing refusing Marci to see,
" Let me see! What did she say! "
Marcia leaped in hoping for the best attempting to grab the phone. But Comet used his knees to block her.
" Comet! Don't make me use karate on you! "
Comet glared at her and giggled,
" You wouldn't dare... "
Comet decided to take this opportunity to mess with Marcia,
" you love me too much. "
He made a mischievous grin.
Marcia blushed and chopped him in the stomach,
" NO I DONT! "
She grabbed the phone as Comet was pushed to the floor in pain.
She read the text realizing the joke. Comet knew she was pissed off by her face. He laughed at her trying to hide the pain. Even if his stomach was bruised from Marcia's strong arms.
" Comet. I will get you back. "
" Sure Marcia BUTTERFLY. "
She started running up the stairs as fast as she could.
Comet sat up, " Wait! Marci! You have my phone! " He ran after her.

Once she reached the top, she ran to her room and locked the door. She giggled as she heard Comet run into the door.
" Marci! Open the door! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "
He banged on the door repeatedly.
" Let's see what's on your phone Comet! "
She heard him gasp and then yell harder,
" No no no no! Please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "
She sat on her bed ignoring Comet's endless yelling and banging.
She went to text Olivia,

Comet: [ Yeah she's the best. She's so awesome ya know? I love her so much. 😏 ]
...
Olivia: [ Uh okay dude. But tbh shes kinda boring to me. Just saying man. 😉 ]

Was she hitting on Comet?!
Marcia looked at the phone, offended.
She didn't wanna completely ruin his chances of getting a girl. But if he were to ever date any girl, it would NOT be Olivia!

Comet: [ You know what? I thought you were cool. I thought we were friends. I can't believe I actually liked you. ]
...
Olivia: [ what? You're dating Marcia! I thought you were cool too. I guess not. You have 0 chill. Fuck you. 🖕 ]

She went back to listening to see if Comet had gave up yet, of course he didn't.
" Marcia! Open the door! I'm sorry! Please! "

She was too mad to actually respond to Olivia.
But she felt so bad for Comet. So bad, she started tearing up. She ruined Comets date all because of her temper. She got up and marched to the door as Comet hit it.
She swung it open causing him to almost fall over,
" Whoa! "
She shoved the phone into his chest and hugged him tightly,
" I'm really sorry Comet I didn't mean to! I swear I- "
As she rambled Comet looked at his phone and was surprised at the texts. He regretted making fun of Marcia.
"-I never meant for this I'm sorry! " She dramatically sobbed into his shoulder.

He laughed even though he was kinda disappointed. He put his hand on the back of her head and hugged her tightly,
" Hahaha! It's okay Marci! I know you didn't mean it. I guess she wasn't the person I thought she was. "
Marci backed up still having her arms on his shoulders and his hands on her waist. It was both awkward for them but they tried their best not to be bothered.
" But still Comet, it was the wrong thing to do."
She shrugged.
" It's really okay Marci. Besides, I never said I didn't like someone else. "
He rolled his eyes. Marcia let go and slid under his arms to grab a snack.
Comet followed her to the kitchen.

She opened a bag of chips and leaned on the counter.
Comet sat towering above her,
" So Marci, apparently I love you, huh? "
Marcia blushed slightly,
" What are you talking about? "
Comet leaned over her,
" Oh you know, ' Yeah she's the best. She's so awesome. I love her so much. ' "
He grabbed her hand and bit into the chip that she was holding.
Marcia blushed and pulled away her hand. She rolled her eyes walking away,
" You're such a flirt Comet, gawd. "
