chapter four
THE NEXT MORNING;
ANDY'S INBOX
Reagan
ugh, my head's still spinning 🥴
Andy
why are you texting me when we live in the same apartment?
Reagan
cause my lazy *** can't get up. did you drink last night?
Andy
nope. I like to stay alcohol free.
Reagan
boooo! *throws trash at you*
Reagan
thanks for coming to the party though, I really wanted you there.
Andy
I would do anything for a friend
Andy
So do you like my gift?
Reagan
How couldn't I? you literally got me a girl's best friend
Reagan
thank so so so much.
Andy
what'd George get for you?
Reagan
let's...not talk about him.💧
Reagan
why don't you see it for yourself?
Andy
woah, that must be hella costly
Andy
but then again, Elijah's dad is kind of a big deal.
Reagan
truer words have never been spoken.
Reagan
I wanna ask you something..
Reagan
how'd you get the money to buy me a freaking gold necklace?!!
Reagan
It's not that I'm not grateful, I'm just curious. You always seem to be struggling financially.
Reagan
Did I say something wrong?
Reagan
Should I come to your room?
Andy
No, it's okay. I just dozed off for a second.
Andy
talk to you later, okay?
Reagan
I'm gonna go back to bed too
Andy
where are you? why'd you leave so early?
Barney
I've got classes to attend.
Barney
I tried waking your *** up but you snorted and farted
Barney
disgusting animal... 😂😂
Andy
sorry, must have been really tired.
Barney
what'd you want to talk to me about again?
Andy
it's about Eirene Rogers
Barney
lemme guess, you have a crush on her just like everybody on campus.
Andy
remember that man that kept staring at me weird at my meeting?
Barney
why'd he want to speak to you?
Andy
that's where it gets weirder
Andy
he wants to hire me for some kind of strange job
Andy
he said I'd have to watch over his daughter
Barney
huh? like a security guard?
Andy
that's what I'm thinking too
Andy
he gave me his business card and some time to think about it.
Andy
he, um, also gave me some cash... 😳
Barney
the heck?! Just for speaking to you?
Andy
yep. I'm just as baffled as you, b.
Andy
should I call him back?
Barney
Maybe you should learn more about this so called security job first.
Andy
you're right. I have to be careful. Who knows what's up!
Barney
keep me posted, dude. Aw hell, our lecturer just walked in.
MESSAGE NOTIFICATION FROM GEORGE!
George
I think Elijah was just showing off, buying Ree a big fancy red dress like that.
George
he's such a drama queen
Andy
George, what is this really about? 🤨
Andy
is it about the guy that he brought to the party?
George
what no! I don't care about that. I brought one of my hookup chicks, remember?
Andy
where are you right now?
George
jogging. Gotta keep my bod noice and fit for the bigger fishes in the ocean.
Andy
I think you should just talk to Ellie
George
I'm not doing anything. If he has something to say, he can come to me.
George
I don't chase people, they chase me.
MESSAGE NOTIFICATION FROM BOSS!
Andy
hey, I gotta go. my boss sent me a text.
Andy
thanks, remember what I said
Boss
what'd Mr Rogers say to you after I left my office?
Andy
sorry sir, I'm not allowed to say.
Andy
he made me swear. I hope you understand.
Boss
Andy, are you in any kind of trouble?
Andy
what? no! of course not.
Boss
But if you were in trouble, you'd tell me right?
Boss
I'm just looking out for you, kid.
Boss
you're one of my best employees. And I tend to respect those a lot
Boss
so if you need my help, don't hesitate to ask, okay?
Andy
of course, Mr Crimson.
Boss
Good. Also, if you show or tell anyone about this, I will have you fired and 'accidentally' hit by a bus, you hear me?
Andy
loud and clear, sir 🙈🙉🙊
Boss
Plus, don't ever use emojis while chatting with me again.
MESSAGE NOTIFICATION FROM BARNEY!
Barney
I just ran into Eirene again. she was super nice and friendly. Said my eyes looked good in the sun.
Barney
you've never told me that 😑😒
Barney
I don't see anything wrong with her. I think she needs a babysitter.
Barney
Nice girls like her need all the protection they can get.
Andy
you saying I should take the job?
Barney
I dunno. it's still your choice.
Barney
are you up for following someone around?
Barney
are you capable of the energy and time?
Barney
will you be able to carry this along with all your duties?
Barney
Those are the questions you should be asking yourself.
Andy
you sound really wise all of the suddenly.
Andy
almost like it's another person at the keyboard.
Andy
normally, you would use an emoji for stuff like that (😂😅).
Andy
I've never known you use 'hahaha.'
Barney
well, things happen, Andy.
Barney
Enough about me, are you going to take the job?
Andy
what are you allergic to, Barney?
Andy
what are you allergic to? I just wanna check something.
Barney
what is this? a pop quiz? 😂
Andy
just answer the question.
Barney
oh shoot, gotta go. I think the lecturer saw me texting.
Andy
wait, you didn't answer the question!
Andy
who the hell is this?!
Andy
why are you with my friend's phone?!
Barney
Hey, class is over.
Andy
Who the hell are you?
Andy
what are you allergic to?
Barney
pineapple on pizza is a death sentence to me, though. ☠️
Andy
Barney, were you the one texting me earlier?
Barney
huh? you mean, before the lecturer entered the room?
Andy
no, much sooner than that.
Barney
no, I didn't text you. There's no history here that says I did.
Barney
the log ended at the conversation we had in the morning.
Andy
I think someone stole your phone.
Andy
the culprit was trying to get me to accept the job of being some kind of guardian angel of Eirene Rogers.
Andy
did your phone go missing?
Barney
no. I kept it in my bag at my feet.
Barney
funny you should mention her name because Eirene Rogers is in the same class as me.
Barney
don't tell me you think she took my phone.
Andy
well, the thief kept complimenting her. So it might as well be her.
Andy
something's not right here.
Barney
sure thing, Sherlock.
Barney
gotta go for my next class
