Neil: Hey

Him: Hey

Neil: What’s up

Him: Nothing much

Neil: Well nice to meet you

Him:

Neil: Btw I'm Celetine's friend just so you know

Him: Celestine?

Neil: Yes

Him: You mean serendipity?

Neil: I guess. But she's Celestine

Him: I know

Neil: Cool

his eyes suddenly snapped at Luke's tiny icon picture.

curiosity creeping through him,

he clicked Luke's username.

the skin between his eyebrows formed creases of confusion

he literally stared at the screen for at least 10 minutes.

an odd recognition and familiarity inevitably hit him, slowly but surprisingly, like a rock was being thrown at his face. hard.

"fucking hell no" he hissed.

seriously?

that person is Luke?

are you fucking kidding me?

how fucking great is that?!

those were the words running through his mind.

 

Neil is typing...

Neil: Luke, huh?

Him: What?

Neil: Isn't it supposed to be Vince? Huh, Vince Parker? I sure didn't recognize you asshole.

Luke stared at his screen long enough for anger to slowly seeped through him.

Who the hell gave this dickhead the right to call him asshole?

Him: Excuse me? Asshole? Dude I'm not a fucking mirror.

Luke silently but furiously looked up Neil's profile

and sure enough, just like what it did to Neil,

an odd recognition and familiarity inevitably hit him.

Neil: If I knew earlier that you're Vince I wouldn't be saying nice to meet you.

Neil: Because who the hell would want to meet the guy who used to beat the crap out of people in high school.

Him: HA. People? Aren't you exaggerating, bastard?

Neil: Surely not, dickhead. Thank you for making my friend's peaceful life miserable, asshole.

Him: Well I wish I could just do that again because my fist would love to shut your dickface off.

Neil: Oh c’mon! This isn’t highschool anymore. Grow up, man.

Him: You’re right. Twats aren't my priorities anymore. I've changed. People like you should be aware of that. How about you change yourself?

Neil: Why would I change? I'm not an asshole like you.

Him: Seriously I don't want to waste my time to an imbecile.

Neil: Celestine's not too lucky to have a "friend" like you after all. Nice to meet you again, Vince. I’m done.
