Eh I'm not doing this because anybody asked I just want to get it off my chest
This is the prank situation I was speaking about in the last chapter.
I'm just going to do this in story format because I don't know where to start. I'm giving everybody fake names, save JB, my crush
I sat in the front passenger seat, my mother's phone in hand.
My friends were behind me in the other seats, Chloe and Alison in the front two, leaving Elenor in the back. I could hardly hear my own thoughts as we all sing-shouted It's Everyday Bro jokingly.
"Elenor!" Chloe was craning her neck over the back of her seat to reply to a comment I didn't hear.
"What?" I asked, not looking up from the phone.
Chloe put her head in her hands, laughing hysterically. "Elenor is texting Dylan that I like him!"
I had slapped Dylan earlier that day because he had been body-shaming my friend, Mary, and the three of us hated him.
"Who's Dylan?" My mom pursed her lips, keeping her eyes on the road.
I shook my head. "Nobody," I replied. "Just a kid in my grade."
I could just barely make out what Elenor was saying.
"Hey babe, I have to tell you something, I love you!" Elenor was laughing.
Alison through her head back, snorting. "Send him more!"
"Don't tell Brandon," Elenor added, wiggling her eyebrows. Brandon was Chloe's boyfriend.
"Did he respond?" I was practically choking on my laughter, and now I was staring back at my friends.
"No, but he's typing!" Alison squeaked.
"I guess you don't get to know what he said." I paused, looking out the window. "We're at your house."
Chloe sighed with disappointment, because she was staying the night with Alison, so this was the stop for the both of them.
"Bye girls!" My mom waved her hand, smiling with shiny white teeth and cherry red lipstick.
Elenor smirked behind me, but I didn't notice much. Me and Elenor were never particularly close, just kind of a mutual agreement to be nice to each other.
"Naomi's turn!"
My eyes widened. "What? No!" I protested, pressing my nails in the the cushion of my chair.
Elenor smiled and shook her head. "Shall I text JB?"
"No, no!" I let my face drop into my hands, sighing. "Don't do him!"
"Why not?" Elenor looked up at me.
"Because if you don't tell him it's a prank, that'll be embarrassing, but if you do, it'll be soul crushing because he likes me back."
Elenor rolled her eyes and looked back at her phone. "Whatever, Naomi."
We soon got to her house, which was the biggest mansion I've ever seen. Our small heels clicked on the pavement, and I kept looking over my shoulder for copperheads. This place was known for them. We finally reached the door, and I opened it for Elenor.
"Bye, Elenor!" I said with a nice smile. "I had a fun time!"
A mischievous look crossed her face right as I was about to shut the door. Only a few words made it through the cracks of the door: "I texted Alex."
I was stunned. That was the kid who had liked me since the 1st grade. He asked me out last year, but I rejected him. Also JB's best friend.
***THE NEXT DAY***
My vision was slightly blurry as I reached over to turn off my alarm clock. I picked up my phone and squinted at the brightness.

I sighed. What now? I slid the text to the right slowly and pressed my thumb on the home button to unlock it. Elenor had sent me three pictures. All of them were a conversation with Alex.
Elenor : alex guess whag
Elenor : *what
Alex : wut
Elenor : Naomi likes you a lot
Elenor : like, shes in deep DEPP love with hou
Alex : srsly ele
Elenor : "i really love alex and i fhink he likes me to but I want him to make the first move"
Elenor : word for word
Alex : Ele can you keep a secret
Elenor : sure what?
Alex : ive always liked Naomi
Elenor : uh ok
Elenor : u should propose knees and everything
Alex : no nees but k
Alex : October 31, I'll ask you Naomi and JB to come on a hay ride, and one round, me and Naomi will go ahead and I'll ask her
Elenor : you do that
I clasped my hands over my mouth, stifling a gasp. I reply:
Naomi : Ele, wtf????
Naomi : TELL HIM ITS A PRANK OH MY GODDD
Elenor : no!! Wait till Halloween to do it
Naomi : i told you he's liked me since th 1st grade, don't do this t him
Elenor : oh boo hoo
Naomi : omg I hate u
Elenor : hate u 2
I swiped my thumb across the screen again, and found my crush's number. Things were cleared out between me and JB, and we had an established relationship. I clicked the type bar and start.
Naomi : JB I HAVE A CRISIS
Naomi : Image
Naomi : Image
Naomi : Image
I sent him the images that Elenor sent me.
Naomi : please tell him it's a joke
Naomi : you're better at talking than j am
Since no other sensible human being woke up at 4:45 like me, he didn't respond. I bit my lip and waited.
***LATER THAT DAY***
JB : why did you prank him it's just annoying for everybody and frustrating
Naomi : I didn't know about it until later
Naomi : Elenor did it behind my back and then told me later
JB : k, but how do we tell him
Naomi : I didn't want Elenor to tell him, because she'd say something like "just a prank bro, she hates you!"
JB : same
Naomi : I'll talk to her
JB : me too
Ok I'll finish this story later but what ended up happening is Elenor photoshopped images and sent them to Alex that were saying things like, "well, I love alex, but I act like I hate him" and stuff like that
I'll post the texts if you want me too, but maybe not
Anyway, things are sorted out, Alex hates me because Elenor convinced him it was my fault, me and Alison aren't going to hang out with Elenor or Chloe because she sided with her and things suck
So yeah
