JOKES ; ALERRIE

prolouge: jokes & videogames

“You have got to be kidding me,”

Perrie laughs loudly, dropping onto her back with her right arm covering her eyes. “I can't believe you accidentally sat on my used underwear, Jade!"

Jade doesn't finds the situation amusing and stands up from Perrie's bed, picking up the black underwear from the place where she sat five seconds ago. She scrunches her face and yelps the word, "Ew!", as she throws it into the laundry bin by the bathroom door. She wipes her hand with a wetwipe. “You are absolutely disgusting, you know that?”

Perrie sits up to lean her back on the headboard with that look on her face. "Don't take it for granted, JayJay. One day you'll find pride in it,” she says, taking her phone out from her back pocket of her pajama pants.

The other woman rolls her eyes playfully before she sat down on the bed, next to Perrie. “What're you doi- oh, it's that again,” she comments, earning a glare from the Edwards girl.

She scoffs but continues to scroll down the website, reading jokes and pickup lines. Having to perform and practise every single day is a tiring job, but by the end of the day, Perrie knows that she can hop onto her phone and spend hours just memorising countless numbers of jokes. It's her way of relieving stress.

“GIRLS, FOOD IS READY!” Jesy yells from the kitchen, snapping the two girls' focus from their respective phones.

“OI, STOP IT!”

“I swear to Klopp, if ya' don't stop shooting poor Trent right now I'm gonna kill-”

“Watch your language, Robbo!”

“Oh, frick off Minamino! 'Kill' isn't even a bad word and I can say whatever I want!”

“No, no, NO DON'T YOU DARE THROW THAT GRENADE AT US, WE'RE FRIENDS! VIRGIL DON'T YOU DARE! AH, FU-!”

Robbo, Harvey, Minamino and Trent groaned loudly from their bedrooms. Virgil smirks and coolly places his controller on the floor. "I guess playing this game is quite fun,” he says with a grin.

Ox laughs from the couch and takes a sip of his soda. He just spent thirty minutes watching his team mates play a video game with each other, and Ox regrets nothing.

“You're not so bad yourself, Van Dijk,” Harvey says, leaning on his doorstand with frustration all over his face.

“I mean, you definitely deserve a trophy for that. Would ya' like me to make ya' one?” Robbo continues while walking out from his and the Elliot boy's room with pure annoyance and irritation.

Virgil shrugs. “I guess I'm just naturally talented!” and Ox agrees with that. “Okay, you guys better shut up before you make Henderson mad.”

Harvey nods. “Ox's right, we better go before the Cap goes mental,”

From the kitchen that was connected to the living room, “I'm right here, you know!” Henderson shouts, throwing a glove used for dishwashing at Robbo's direction.
