Everything's not what it seems

Harvey's POV
Ray triple beeped me, after we announced our comeback. "I erm, my slippers are going to burn!" I shouted. "That's what my alarm on my watch told me." When I though my excuses couldn't get any worse, I came out with that.

"You know we don't believe you, but go." Max said, rolling his eyes at my excuse.

I ran to Junk 'N' Stuff, waved to Gooch, and his plant, then went to the lift. I pressed the button and shot down like usual. "Ray? RAY!" I shouted.

"Huh, what?" Ray sat up, wiping his eyes. "Kid, what are you doing here?" He asked confused.

"You triple beeped me." I stated.

"No I didn't, I've been sleeping." He replied.

"Stand up." I said, he stood up and low and behold he had been lay on his zapper. "You butt beeped me again, just be lucky you didn't zap yourself again." I laughed at the memory.

"I guess I did, and you're right there, I'm not having kids after that." He laughed, mid-yawn.

"So I said my slippers were burning for no reason?" I asked.

"That's your worst excuse yet, and yes, yes you did." Ray laughed.

"I guess if you don't need me, I'll go back home." I stated.

"Spend time with your girlfriend." Ray joked. He figured out I have a slight crush on Liv, I don't know how but he did

"Bye Ray." I said and stood in the lift.

"You didn't deny it!" He shouted just before the doors shut, yep never gonna hear the end of this one.

I waved bye to Gooch and rang Tilly, I guess her knowing is helpful. "Hey Tills." I said as she answered.

"Hey Harv, what's up?" She asked.

"Can you do me a massive favour?" I asked her.

"Sure." She answered.

"Can you please go in my room, and go to my supreme wardrobe. At the back of the wardrobe, there's Rick and Morty slippers, I burnt a while back. Mum never knew I burnt them, so I can use it as my cover now. Can you put them in the oven, but not turn the oven on."

"Ok?" She said confused.

"I told the gang my slippers were gonna burn. Ray triple beeped me." I answered her question, without her even asking.

"Of course you did. I'll do it now." Tilly said.

"Thanks Tills, you're a life saver, I'll be home in about 5 minutes." I said.

"No problem, bye."

"Bye." I ended the call.

After 5 minutes I arrived at the house. "Hey guys, has the oven cooled down yet?" I asked.

"Um I think so." Max answered.

"Ok, cool, my slippers should be cool enough to move now." I said, holding back a laugh because of how stupid I sounded.

I walked to the oven and pulled out my slippers. "Oh, he wasn't lying." Is all Dobby said.

"Yes I wasn't lying, they aren't actually that burnt so I'll probably wear them again." I said and put them on.

"Harvey Mills everyone!" Liv laughed.

I got my phone out and recorded this. "So I'm an idiot." I stated bluntly.

"This idiot left his slippers in the oven." Max laughed.

"Yeah, he's not wrong." I responded. "Well in all honesty, I wanted to see what would happen, I was going to post it on here, like a 'science with Harvey' sort of like 'cooking with Harvey' but I'm an idiot, forgot to record the beginning, and left them in too long." I laughed and flipped the camera. "Yeah this is the damage, and yes I'm wearing them." I laughed again, finished recording and posted it on my story.

A few minutes later Liv got a message. "Taome asked if this is true. What should I say?" She asked.

"Tell her the truth." I laughed.

"Ok. 'Yes this is true, the idiot forgot to record, then forgot about them. He didn't tell us so we couldn't remind him, we had no clue what he was doing'." Liv read out what she was typing. "And send." She said.

"Ok, can't wait for all the memes that are going to get posted." I face palmed myself.

"And now the whole group chats active, Razza, Madi, Charlotte, Taome, Varsha, Ava, even Bella and Mikey are having a good laugh at this." Liv laughed.
