The Plant Killer Chapter 82

I sigh and frown as I notice my dead small cactus and Aloe Vera plant. I named them Bonnie and Clyde. Don't ask me why. I just thought those were good names at the time. I sniff the air, and the familiar sent of that punks cologne fills my nostrils. " CHASE!! " I yell before moving my plants aside. 

" What? " Chase strolls in while spraying his cologne on. RIGHT BY MY PLANTS!!!

" You killed my cologne. " I say in a deadly voice. " Why do you insist on putting your dumb perfume on right next to my plants?! " 

" Hey! Calm down Aura. No need to pull out the knives. I just like putting on my cologne here. Cologne. Not perfume. Ya hear that? Cologne! Perfume is for girls. Cologne's for men. " He says in a slightly proud voice while puffing out his chest. 

I roll my eyes. " You are not a man! You are a................you're not a man! Let's go with that. You're a...teen. Well, a teen with the mental capacity of a three year old at times. " 

Chase gasps. " You are so cold! So mean. " 

" Well maybe I wouldn't be so cold if you didn't keep killing every single plant I get with your cologne for ' men '. " I snap. 

" For the last time! My cologne is not killing your dumb plants! " 

" Oh. That's right. " I sigh. " I'm sorry. Your cologne only lead my poor Bonnie and Clyde to kill themselves. " I fold my arms angrily. 

" Bonnie and Clyde? You named your dead plants after two criminals? Just like you named your lavender plant Billy the kid? What's up with you an criminals?! " 

I stick my nose in the air. " Yes. Yes I did. I named Bonnie and Clyde, my alive plants at the time, Bonnie and Clyde because I wanted to spice up my life a little! Is there anything wrong with that? " 

" Criminals. " Chase says in disbelief. 

" Yes! Criminals. Maybe I have a ' thing ' for criminals and naming my plants after them. " 

Chase rolls his eyes before turning to leave. 

" The next time you kill my plants, " I say in a warning tone. " they won't be the only things dead in this tower. " 

I hear a giggle behind me. I turn to see Rebecca, dad, and Tony watching us with amused looks. Rebecca, the one who giggled, breaks out laughing. 

" Can't anyone have a private conversation in this dumb place?! " I ask angrily. 

" Hey, you draw a lot of attention to your ' private ' conversations when you start screaming, which is pretty much every time you talk to Chase. " Dad points out. 

I growl. " You nosy bodies. " I mutter.
