Chapter 5

Song - Dirty Laundry by Blackbear

Next day

I walk up to the door then I hear someone jumping into a pool.

Unknown: there you guys, I did it

I had finally figured out that it was Oliver but who was he talking to.

Natalia: hey Cordelia, I'm going to my office, working all day. So can you clean the pool and wash the clothes

Me: ok, where's the net

Natalia: in the living room closet and if you can keep Mateo busy and out off my way

Me: ok

I walk to the pool with the net. I guess I was getting the leaves and bugs out. I never cleaned out a pool before but I'm guessing that what you're supposed to do.

Oliver: hey

Me: hey, can you put your wet clothes in the washer

Oliver: yeah sure and guys this is Cordelia

Me: what is that

Oliver: I'm live and guys she just a friend

Me: a friend that does want to be in the live

Oliver: why, are you camera shy

Me: no just don't show me

Oliver: ok, well guys Cordelia doesn't want to be shown and I'll leave you on in my room while I get out of these clothes in the bathroom

5 mins later

I finished the pool now all I got to do is the laundry. I really don't mind cleaning someone else's house, this is my first time. I would really say I like doing it but I'm not doing this as a career. I decided to go into Oliver room first.

Oliver: thanks for the concert gift

Me: Oliver can I come in

Oliver: of course, you don't have to ask

Me: ok well, this might sound weird but do you have any dirty clothes.

Oliver: for you to wash

Me: yeah, what else would I need them for

Oliver: nothing but yeah over there

Me: um ok.... Dirty underwear

Oliver: yeah, what can you not pick it up

Me: well it just gross me out

Oliver: well you are supposed to clean, are you not. There will be dirty things you will need to clean or pick up.

Me: I guess you're right but not right now. Come over here and pick this up

Oliver: fine, you act like my mother

Me: I'm perfectly fine with that

Oliver started talking to the viewers and I guess one of them said something mean.

Oliver: she not a maid, she just help clean when my mother busy

Me: I'll leave now

Oliver: she not like that

Me: not like what

Oliver: nothing it's just haters

Me: no what did they say

Oliver: they said that you were poor and homeless, ugly and yeah

I went close to the phone so the viewers can see my face.

Me: first of all to who ever said that I just want you to know that I'm not poor or homeless. To you I maybe ugly but to me I'm gorgeous. I don't care what you have to say about me. I won't let you get to me. The only opinions I care about are mine. Bye nice knowing that you judge people you don't even know. I'm not going to say anything rude about you because I don't judge people unless I get to know them and it turns out that they have a really bad personality. Even if you call me ugly or weird or anything mean, I won't let you downgrade me. I love myself either way, if I was ugly which I think not I wouldn't change who i am just because someone thinks I'm not beautiful enough. I love myself and everyone else should learn to love themselves too. I won't let negativity get in, I will be positive no matter what

Oliver: ok Cordelia, you go but what Cordelia said is the truth. "She speaks nothing but the truth." ( this will be important for later in the story. It's connected to the beginning sentence.)
