Are you a liar too?

Hidden Room

SPOILERS IN THIS CHAPTER. I mean it could be worse but also like- you've been warned

"You see Nemo, me and you think very similar." Yakov and me hid behind a corner watching Oliver

"We do?" I asked

"We both go for the cautious route. So this is why you're the main distraction." Yakov smirked

"You mean just so we don't have to tell him the real reason." I sighed and gripped the coffee mug in my hand

I stood up and acted like I was in a hurry. Quickly turning the corner I bumped into Oliver and spilled the coffee on him.

"Uh-oh! Tough luck." He seemed disappointed

"I'm sorry! That was an accident." I was very stiff

"Ah, so careless."

"Sorry everything's been falling out of my hands lately, I must be nervous. Let me help you." I grabbed a napkin from my pocket but ended up spreading the stain

"That won't do, I can manage on my own. Why have you been nervous lately? Yakov has been talking about you constantly, has he started bothering you?" His kind voice made me feel even more guilty

Before our conversation went further I heard footsteps approach us. I knew they belonged to Yakov. Of course when the conversation was getting interesting. He was carrying a tall pile of laundry, his face was barely visible.

"You're so clumsy Oliver. Or is Nemo trying to blame you?" Yakov asked

"As you can see this happened out of carelessness... But you shouldn't be talking like that about someone you-" Oliver was cut off

"You'll catch a cold if you don't change Oliver." I sounded really fake -_-

"I won't get sick don't worry!" Oliver smiled

"Am I interrupting something?" Yakov seemed annoyed and perhaps jealous

"No just give us some pants." I took the only pair from the pile giving them to Oliver

"Go change and Nemo will go wash the stains." Yakov told Oliver

"That's not necessary..." Oliver looked down

"Being in a public place wearing your dirty uniform goes against rules." Yakov smirked slightly

"You're weird guys. I'll go change in another room." Oliver seemed puzzled

He left while me and Yakov waited outside. Yakov seemed like he was struggling holding the pile of laundry. I mean it is pretty tall. Once Oliver walked out he gave Yakov the stained shorts.

"You never gave me a new shirt." Oliver sighed

"I don't have a shirt your size." Yakov grabbed the shorts

"Wait..." Before Oliver finished his sentence the pile of laundry fell to the floor while Yakov held the shirts behind his back

"It's your guys fault, clean it up." Yakov quickly went to the men's restroom

"Help me Oliver." I started refolding the laundry

"I've completely forgotten-there was keys in my pocket!" Oliver seemed panicked

"I'd like to apologize."

"You've already done that. Which it's fine because things happen." Oliver was about to leave

"You're not going to help me?" I asked

"Oh, right." He wiped the sweat off his forehead

"I shouldn't have taken my coffee out of the cafeteria." I sighed
