"I know you all are not hard of hearing. If you heard your name, step out now!"

"Fuck you, Ty." A pillow hit me shortly after those words were said.
"You are way too feisty today. Not that you're not feisty on a regular day. But today, you're just too extra."
Seated with me in my room for the past 3 hours, is my one and only female best friend, and one of the few humans I will ever allow to hurl cuss words at me for 3 minutes straight.

All I got was a glare. "Don't vex me further, Ty."
I chuckled. Girls and being so fucking extra.
"So what are you going to do about Jude?" She asked as she picked up her phone and began to scroll through it. Her mood had changed like she wasn't just pissed a second ago.
